3.8. INSTALL THE LIFT CYLINDER CABLES
Important: Although the lift cable is factory installed on the cylinder, make sure that the
cable clamps on the cylinder are secure and the cables are properly seated in
the cable sheaves before attaching the cable to the track shoe.
1. Ensure that both cylinders are in full down position, and that track shoe is
resting against the track stop.
2. Thread both cables around the circular cable beds on the outside edges of
the cable-attach rod on the lift assist. Pull the cable very tight, then secure
with cable clamps on each cable, positioned as shown (Figure 3.24).
Important: The MKX130-84/94 models require three 5/16” Cable Clamps (19333) per cable,
and the MKX130-114 model requires four 3/8” Cable Clamps (18990) per cable.
Tighten cable clamps securely .
3. Tie up excess ends of lift cable with tape or cable ties.
Important: Lift cables will stretch with initial use. Check and adjust frequently.
