After you have extended the chrome rod, attach the cable to the top caps in the
legs. Make sure each cable is on the pulleys. Place both nuts on top of the top
cap and tighten them together.
Safety Latch Linkage Installation:
Locate and identify the components needed
to install the safety latch linkage rods. Install the spacers from on the straight
threaded end of the
1/2” x 50” (1/2” x 70” for the XLT) bent rod
and the
threaded end of the
1/2” x 126” straight safety latch linkage rod.
Install the
1/2” x 50” (70” XLT) bent safety latch linkage rod
into the main side
track adjacent to back end of the cylinder (opposite the cylinder rod). Safety
latch linkage rod should pass through guide tubes on underside of track.
Install the
1/2” x 126” straight safety latch linkage rod
into the main side track
from the opposite end. The rod should pass through two guides on the
underside of the main side track.
Attach the
71” hose
to the fitting on the power unit. Attach the other end of the
71” hose
to outside fitting in main side track. Attach hose from cylinder to track
fitting.
Place a funnel into vent cap hole and fill the tank with one of the following fluids:
AW-32
or
ISO-32
hydraulic oil.
Mobil DTE 24, or Texaco HD32. DO NOT USE
DEXRON
®
IN THIS LIFT!
This tank will hold approximately 12 quarts.
Relocating or changing components may cause problems. Each component in
the system must be compatible; an undersized or restricted line will cause a
drop in pressure. All valve, pump, and hose connections should be sealed
and/or capped until just before use. All parts should be supplied from
manufacture. Air hoses can be used to clean fittings and other components.
However, the air supply must be filtered and dry to prevent contamination.
Most
important - cleanliness
- contamination is the most frequent cause of
malfunction or failure of hydraulic equipment.
Check Pulley Cover and Lock Collars:
Before proceeding, double check to
make sure the locking shaft collars for the crossrail cable pulleys are tight and
secure. Check the pulley cover (2-RIGHT and 2 LEFT) over the shaft located on
the pulley side of each crossrail. CHECK the pulley and cover are firm against
the locking shaft collar already in place. Check the additional lock collar on the
outside of the shaft is tight and secure. To prevent personal injury or death,
crossrail lock collars must be tight. If they are ever removed - always make sure
the locking shaft collars are tight and secure.
