Pre-Installation Notes
Read this information
before
removing the clear plastic
shipping wrap and/or placing
the lift in the vehicle
.
Due to the “all-hydraulic” opera-
tion of the dual-cylinder CL917
Series, hydraulic fluid expansion,
contraction or seepage may
occur. Any of these conditions
can result in platform drift (failure
to hold the platform in the folded
or raised position). Platform drift
may occur during lift shipment
and/or between extended
periods of nonlift use.
Plastic straps secure the lift in
the stowed position during
shipment.
Before removing the
shipping straps
, install the lift
and power the platform to the
fully folded position (press FOLD
switch).
Lift Ground
Two ground cables are provided.
One ground cable is connected to
the pump. The second ground
cable is external (battery
mounted). Both cables must be
mounted to a common vehicle
framing member to provide
optimum ground.
Pump Mounted Ground Cable:
A ground cable is connected to the
pump. The cable must be con-
nected to a main front-to-rear
vehicle framing member. Route,
position and secure the cable as
outlined on pages 18 and 19.
Vehicle Battery Ground Cable:
The external battery ground cable
supplied with the lift
must be
connected to the same vehicle
framing member that the pump
ground cable is attached to.
Note:
When mounting ground
cables, remove undercoating, dirt,
rust, etc., from the framing mem-
ber around the mounting holes
(minimum 5/8" diameter area).
Apply a protective coating of
grease to mounting holes to
prevent corrosion. Apply grease
to ground cable terminals and
mounting screws also.
Failure to
do so will void warranty of
certain electrical components
.
