INSTALLATION
The unit installed is exactly 91” wide at the outside of the Unit Frame base. Use the chart below and first measure
the width of the Flat Bed and write down that distance in inches in the first box. Divide that number by 2 and write
it down as the flat bed width center line. Subtract the Ezy Lift center line (45.5”) from the Flat Bed center line and
the distance remaining is the distance from the edge of the flat bed that the outside frame edge must be positioned
on both sides.
Place the two Unit Arm Frames on the flat bed. The frame without the Hydraulic Pump is on the passenger side of
the flat bed.
When determining whether to place the Ezy-Lift closer to the rear of the truck bed or towards the truck cab
the decision should be based on the size of the loads mostly hoisted. The larger the dimensions of the load
the further back towards the rear of the bed the unit should be mounted. For example, when the unit is in-
stalled towards the rear of the bed a larger palate or box can clear the edge of the bed when being loaded.
Locate the chassis cross members under the flat bed, adjust the frames slightly to line up at least two of them with
two of the Unit Frame predrilled mounting holes that run the length of both sides of the Unit Frame. Once a deter-
mination of the position is made and the Unit Arm Frames are positioned measure the distance between the end of
the Unit Arm and the truck cab. In order to leave sufficient room for the Winch Crossbar, this distance cannot be
less than 3 inches.
