Tower Hydraulic Hose 

Connection

To Operate Towers (continued)

IMPORTANT: 

 

ALWAYS relieve hydraulic pressure on tower hoses    

 

before connecting or disconnecting couplings. 

8.  Attach hydraulic hose from tower to quick coupler on  

 

mainframe, Figure 12.

9.  To operate pump, follow usage procedures on page 9. 

  

CAUTION: 

 

 

1.   To prevent damage to tower assembly, pulls must 

 

    not exceed a 45 degree angle from tower base, 

    Figure 13. 

 

2.   To avoid personal injury or damage to equipment, 

    DO NOT: 

 

    •  Heat chain hook while repairing vehicle. 

 

    •  Tip load chain hook. 

 

    •  Pull with twisted chain links. 

IMPORTANT: 

 

1.   DO NOT tighten collar locking knob while pressure 

 

    is applied to system because it will be impossible to 

 

    loosen the knob without pressure on the system. 

 

2.   DO NOT wrap tower chain around track nor attach 

 

    tower hook to track. Damage to track will impede 

    tower usage. 

10.  When tower is no longer needed, disconnect hydraulic 

 

hose from mainframe quick coupler, remove tower 

 

chain and hook from vehicle and store collar using one 

 

of the two methods shown in Figures 14 and 15. 

 

  

CAUTION: 

 

1.   Collar locking knob must be tightened before 

 

    removing tower chain and hook from vehicle. 

 

2.   Collar locking knob must be tight when collar is not 

    in use. 

 

3.   Store collar at bottom of tower pipe or support 

 

    collar with tower chain. 

 

WARNING!

To avoid severe personal injury to yourself and 

others:  DO NOT position yourself close to, or in

line with chains, clamps, or other accessories

while pressure is applied to this system.
