Locate the two platform assemblies. (Item No. 6 in Diagram B)
Note that the cables, pulleys, etc are pre-assembled at the factory
so they are identical assemblies. Position the platforms across the
hoist and set them on the lower frame of the hoist so that the end of
the platform that has the cable routed over the top of the pulley is
on the same side of the hoist as the bottom corner cable brackets
just installed. (See Detail B of Diagram A) Thread the cable down
through the hole in the bottom side of the platform weldment that
aligns with the groove of the pulley where the cable rides. Insert the
end of the cable down through the hole in the bottom corner cable
bracket installed earlier using the hole that is closest to the131”
long side frame of the hoist. Secure the cable into the bottom cor-
ner cable bracket with the 5/8” hex nuts provided. Thread the first
nut completely on the threads, then thread on a second nut. Thread
it on until it is against the first nut. Using two wrenches, tighten the
first and second nut into each other to lock them from turning loose
when the hoist is used.
Repeat this process on the other platform assembly.
Locate the two platform rail extrusions (Item No. 5 in Diagram B).
They are punched the same on both ends eliminating a right and
left part. Place one of the platform rail extrusions between the two
platform assemblies just installed as shown in Diagram B aligning
the holes in the end of the platform rail extrusions with the holes in
the platform assemblies. (See Detail E and Detail F in Diagram B)
Place a 5/16” flat washer on a 5/16” x ¾” hex bolt and insert into
one of the holes just aligned. Place a second flat washer on the bolt
and secure with a 5/16” lock nut. Repeat this process until all four
bolts are installed in the end of the platform rail extrusion attaching
it to the platform assembly.
Repeat the above process on the other end of the platform rail
extrusion attaching it to the second platform assembly. Then repeat
on the other platform rail extrusion attaching both platforms togeth-
er at each end as shown in Diagram B.
TIGHTEN THE BOLTS AT
THIS TIME.
Center the platform just assembled together so it is evenly spaced
between the upright posts. Locate the four plastic corner guides
(Item No. 35 in Detail F of Diagram B). Note that all four are identi-
cal parts. By rotating the part 180 degrees will make it a right or left
hand part. They must be positioned the same direction on Posts 1
and 3. They must be rotated the 180 degrees for Posts 2 and 4.
Properly position a plastic corner guide as shown and place it over
Post No. 3. Align the holes in the plastic corner guide with the holes
in the top of the platform end as shown in Detail F on Diagram B.
Place a 3/8” flat washer on a 3/8” x 1 ½” hex bolt, then insert the
bolt into the aligned holes in the plastic corner guide and the plat-
form. Secure with a 3/8” flange lock nut but
DO NOT TIGHTEN
.
Repeat this process on the other bolts to attach the plastic corner
guide.
Repeat this process on Post NO. 1.
