Now place the front cradle beam so the end

of the beam at the lifting post has the cable
on the  top of the sheave.  See front cable
orientation to the right.

Slide (1) cradle clamp over each end of the front
and rear cradle beams. Place (1) cradle U-clamp
over end of each cradle so the bolt holes are
aligned in the U-clamp and the side cradle beam.

Attach the the U-clamps to the side cradles using

(8) 3/8 x 1-1/4" bolts and (8) nylock nuts. Torque

to 35 ft/lbs.  Attach the rear cradle beam by sliding
the cradle clamps over the cradle U-clamps. Slide

a cradle clamp over each end of the rear cradle

beam and U-clamp. See Fig. 5C and 5D.
Be certain the clamp the cradle clamps snug

against the cradle u-clamp before tightening the

1/2" x 2" bolts.  Also at this time confirm the 1/4"

gap between the side cradle and corner post as
shown in Fig. 5A.  Torque bolts to 80 ft/lbs.

Place the left & right cradle beams on top of

the frame beams with the top cable holes to
the rear.  Special attention should be taken
to insure that the cable ends are in the right

location and a 1/4" spacing is maintained
between the UHMW wear strip and the

corner post.  See Fig. 5A.

At this time attach the lifting cable clevis to
the cradle lift clamp using a 3/4-16 x 2" bolt

(fine thread).  Make sure the bolt is seated in

the slot of the clamp when tightening the

cable clevis. Do not tighten the clevis
completely at this point.  Install a 1/2" x 2"

bolt thru the other hole in lifting clamp with a
nylock nut in the slot on the inside of the

clamp.  See Fig. 5B.

Install (7) 1/2" x 2" bolts thru the hole in the
(7) cradle clamps with a nylock nut in the slot

on the inside of the clamp.
