crossrail at the top of the two columns. (both cross rails are the same ) Install the
crossrail in the column by sliding the plastic guide blocks into the column
channel. The safety latch must be positioned with bevel side to the leg top, and
safety latch facing towards the outside of the lift when you stand the columns

slide the crossrail down until it rests on the safety lock position closest to the
