Pre-Installation Notes
tion of the dual-cylinder VL917
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 non-lift 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 IN
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 page 17.
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:
Remove undercoating, dirt,
rust, etc. from the framing member
around ground cable mounting
holes (minimum 5/8" diameter
area). Apply a protective coating
of grease to mounting hole to
prevent corrosion.
Failure to do
so will void warranty of certain
electrical components
.
