on the columns are within equal dimensions (+/-) 1/4” to ensure the lifting arms will be in square.

Attach the power unit to the mount bracket on the side of the Main

STEP 7: (Installing / Routing EQUALIZER CABLES)
1.
Raise and lock each carriage on the first safety latch engagement, approximately 30” high.
2.
Make sure that the safety locks on each column are fully engaged before attempting to route equalizer
cables.
3.
Be sure each carriage is at the same height by measuring from the top of the base to the bottom of the
carriage. This difference should be within 1/4”.
4.
Route the first cable (See Figs. 10-13). Screw the nut on the cable stud so that half the threads pass
through the nut. Pull the other end of the cable and screw the nut on it also. Then tighten both nuts.
