Fit the safety release cables
(single point release models only). The safety
release cable are connected via a small cable that is routed from the release
lever across to each safety location. A number of these are assembled during
manufacture. The cable that connects the two columns will need to be
connected.
Take a moment to inspect the safety release mechanism;; you will see
that a lever pulls the catch in so that it does not catch on the lugs on the
carriage when being lowered. It is important that the safety lug be pulled
in just enough to clear the lugs. Later on when testing you will hear the
safety locks clicking over the lugs as the hoist is raised. If you do not
hear this it is likely that you have this cable too tight and the safety is
being pulled on all of the time.
Remove the cover to the single point release lever.
Route the cable from the column that does not have the release lever through
the pulleys at floor level for floor plate hoists or top of the hoist for clear floor
hoist across to the main column and down to the control lever.
Attach the cable to the lever assembly by threading it through the hole in the
lever assembly. Tighten just enough to test the action of the lever on the safety
latches. Each latch should engage and release fully. As the latches on the
main column are assembled in the factory it is likely that they are correctly
adjusted, adjust the cable so the latches on the far column move the same
amount as those on the main column.
