INITIAL INSPECTION
When the SwapLoader hoist is received from the factory, you should inspect the hoist for
damage, which may have occurred in shipment. If damage has occurred, you should contact the
shipper immediately. Be sure to note any damage or missing items on bill of Lading.
You should then check the hoist to insure you have received all the parts as indicated by the
Packing List and the Ship Loose Box List.
If you have any problems, shortages, or questions, please contact SwapLoader U.S.A., Ltd.
immediately.
GENERAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The installation of the SwapLoader on a truck chassis will generally follow these steps:
1.
Install hoist assembly onto truck chassis.
2.
Mount the hydraulic control valve to the hoist and install the hydraulic plumbing from
the control valve to the hydraulic cylinders. Then install the control levers in the cab and
route the control cables to the hydraulic control value assembly.
3.
Install the hydraulic tank, hydraulic filter, and hydraulic plumbing between the hydraulic
tank and the control valve assembly.
4.
Select and install the P.T.O. on the truck transmission. (Note: This can be done prior to
hoist installation on the truck chassis.)
5.
Install the hydraulic pump and the plumbing from the pump to the hydraulic tank and
control valve assembly.
6.
Fill the hydraulic tank with oil, bleed the air from the pump suction line, and start up the
unit.
Although SwapLoader attempts to include the mounts and attaching fasteners with each hoist
unit, your particular installation may require some additional mounts or modifications. If you
have problems with your installation, please contact SwapLoader at 1-888-767-8000, as we may
be aware of another customer who has installed a SwapLoader on a similar truck chassis.
