Description

Reconfiguring the lift with Voyager kit

If you are using the Alum-A-Lift for installations or removals above 49 inches (28U),
you must use the single (lower) mast configuration with the "Voyager" conversion kit
and support table.
Refer to 

Figure 4

 on page 13while performing this task.

NOTICE

The "Voyager conversion kit," is used with multiple systems.

Procedure

1. Unpack the Voyager kit.

2. Use the instructions provided within the kit to reconfigure the lift.

Adjusting the arms for a frontal lift

If you plan to use the mechanical lift directly in front of the cabinet, adjust the lift
arm/tray width to just under 17 inches apart to ensure that the arms will stay under
the chassis. 

Figure 5

 on page 14 shows an example of adjusting the lift arm/tray to

just under 17 inches.

Procedure

1. Add the two arms with rollers 17 inches apart measured from the outside edge

of each arm.

2. Tighten the arms to secure them.

Adding an optional 80-drive DAE
