For the B-5 (Bert) model hoist, fully raise and lower the hoist several times to remove air from the cylinder
and hoses.
For C-8 (Charlie), D-9 (Daniel) and D-10 (David) hoist models with single-acting power units, fully raise
the hoist and hold the `UP’ button for 20-30 seconds. This will remove the air that is inside the cylinder.
Lower the hoist and check the fluid level in the reservoir; the fluid level should be within 1” of the top
of the reservoir with the body down. Single-acting power units are not available for the E-15 (Ernie) and
F-18 (Floyd) hoist models.
For C-8 (Charlie) and D-9 (Daniel) hoist models with double-acting power units, fully raise the hoist and
hold the `UP’ button for 20-30 seconds. For D-10 (David), E-15 (Ernie) and F-18 (Floyd) hoist models
with double-acting power units, raise the hoist until there is 2” of ATF in the reservoir. Add 2 quarts and
raise the hoist until there is 2” of ATF in the reservoir. Repeat this until the hoist can be fully raised. Fully
raise the hoist and hold the `UP’ button for 20-30 seconds. This will remove the air that is inside the cyl-
inder. Lower the hoist and check the fluid level in the reservoir; the fluid level should be within 1” of the
top of the reservoir with the body down.
With normal use and working conditions the automatic transmission fluid should be changed annually.
The breather cap should be cleaned every time the fluid is changed. With heavy use or very dusty working
conditions the fluid should be changed more often.
MOUNT BODY
It is recommended that the body be painted before it is mounted on the truck. Place the body in position
on the truck with three inches of clearance behind the cab. Use the rivet strips to fill the space between
the longbeams and the truck frame. Use three on each side, one near the front of the body and two evenly
spaced between the hoist mount and the rear hinge. Weld them to the longbeams. Align the body long-
beams carefully with the truck frame. Securely weld the longbeams to the rear hinge brackets and to the
upper hoist pivot pads.
On the inside of the longbeams, securely weld the longbeam fillers to the top of the upper hoist pivot pads
and to the top flange of the longbeam channels as shown in Figure 15. For Crysteel’s Grain Tipper, place
the 9 inch square plate between the angle lift bracket and the inside of the longbeam as shown in Figure 16.
Securely weld this plate to the longbeam and to the upper hoist pivot pad. Be sure to do this on both sides.
DO NOT WORK UNDER A RAISED BODY UNLESS THE BODY IS SECURELY
BLOCKED OR PROPPED IN THE RAISED POSITION.
See specifications on page 34 for minimum floor heights.
INSTALL BODY GUIDE PLATES
Crysteel recommends that plates be in-
stalled on the inside of the body longbeams
to work with the body guides built into the
hoist frame to keep the body and truck
frame aligned when the body is down. (See
Fig. 17.)
ADD HYDRAULIC FLUID
Use an ISO 32 grade hydraulic fluid which contains corrosion and oxidation inhibitors and a foam depres
-
sant. This is approximately the equivalent of SAE 10W or lighter weight oil. Dexron automatic transmis
-
sion fluid can be used in the electric power units. Initially fill the hydraulic reservoir using the following
table. DO NOT OVERFILL THE RESERVOIR!
