12) You are now ready to install the equalizing cables: Route cables through carriages and
around pulleys as shown in diagram. Secure cables to the carriage using one of the two
supplied cable nuts on each end of the cable. (The second nut will be used as a jam nut
after final adjustments are made to cable.) (Tip: When installing the cables, loosen the
nut on the cable that is pointing upward inside each carriage until the end of the stud is
flush with the just one nut. Then to take up slack in the cables, pull down on the cable
that is pointing downward inside each carriage and hand tightening cable nut. This will
take all the slack out of the cable, leaving your adjustments to be made from the easier
to reach cable nut. Tighten the nut on the cable that’s pointing up-ward until ½” to ¾” is
sticking out past the single nut.
13) Properly route the hydraulic hoses from each column through the guides on the
overhead crossbar. Connect both hoses using the supplied male #6 JIC union fitting.
NOTE: Be sure that the hoses are spaced away from moving parts.
14) Install the power unit to the main side column using the supplied bolts, washers, and
nuts. Install the short hose and make the connection between the hydraulic hose
fitting in the column and the hydraulic fitting supplied with the power unit. NOTE: The
hydraulic fitting that is supplied with the power-unit may need to be moved to the port
on the opposite side of the valve body on certain lift models. It is REQUIRED that a
licensed electrician make the electrical hookup to the power unit. NOTE: The electrical
test lead that is connected to the motor is strictly for PRELIMINARY LIFT TESTING
AND ADJUSTING ONLY. Note: The power unit must be wired to a 220V single phase,
dedicated 30A circuit. Route safety shut-off switch wiring down the channel on the
inside of the main side column, alongside the hydraulic hose. Insert the end of the
wire through the hole in the back of the column and into the junction box of the power
unit where the final connection will be made. You will need to cut one of the (2) wires
attached to the push button, then splice the end each wire coming from the overhead
switch into it. This will create a normally closed circuit so when the safety shut-off bar
trips the switch, the circuit is now open.
15) Install the lifting arms into the lifting carriages. The easiest way to install these is to
hold up on the arm restraint while sliding the arm into the carriage, then putting the arm
pins through the carriage and arm before lowering the arm restraint pins back down into
place. Reinstall the spring, washer, and cotter pin after the pin is in place. (Tip: Have a
second set of hands to help with this.)
16) Prior to using the lift, it’s important that all (4) inside corners of each column get greased
from top to bottom. Failure to do this will result in premature wear of the nylon slide
blocks and could even cause the lift to bind while in use.
17) Fill power unit reservoir with (12) quarts (3 gal) of premium quality ISO-32, AW-32, or
AW-46 hydraulic oil only. Be sure to periodically check dipstick to prevent spillage. NOTE:
This is a good time to check if all fittings on the lift are tightened properly.
