59) Lubricate the arm pin or carriage arm pin hole with 

“anti-seize”  and  install  the  arms.  Install  the  Arm 
Pin Snap Ring. 

 

60) Install the Arm Restraints with the 1/2”-13 Socket 

Head Cap Screws. Ensure that the arm restraint 
threads  engage  and  disengage  properly.  Arm 
restraints  should  disengage  when  lift  is  fully 
lowered (

Fig 19

).

 

61) Extend  the  footpad  to  both  extents  and  apply 

“anti-seize” to the retaining ring.

62) Make sure all the arm stop screws are tight. Slide 

all the arms out so they are fully extended making 
sure that the intermediate is retained in the female 
and the male is retained in the intermediate arm.

 

63) Locate  the  two  pre-drilled  holes  on  the  back  of 

each column 19” up from the top of the base plate.  
Center  the  adapter  rack  and  attach  with  5/16”-
18NC x 1” Lg hex flange cap screw and 5/16” hex 
flange nut (

See Figure 21 for the following steps. 

64) Wire tie Limit Switch cord to Overhead hydraulic 

Hose and Power Unit Hose.

 

65) Connect  the  Overhead  Limit  Switch  Cord  to 

Power Unit

 

66) Connect Power Unit to suitable electrical source.

 

67) Energize  the  power  unit  and  begin  raising  the 

cylinder casings to reengage the carriage.

 

Note: The air in the cylinders and hoses must be 
compressed  before  the  cylinders  will  start  to 
move. Once the cylinders do begin to move, the 
motion will be erratic. 

68) Continue raising the cylinders until the top of the 

Power Side cylinder contacts the top plate of the 
carriage.

 

  

 

Do  not  place  fingers  inside  the 
carriage. 

 

69) Use a socket and extension on the bleed screw at 

the top of the cylinder to align the cylinder with the 
hole in the top of the carriage.

 

70) Repeat the previous two steps for the Idler Side 

cylinder.

 

71) Continue energizing power unit to fully reengage 

the cylinders with the carriages.
