7. If you have a means for securely lifting cross rails high enough to lower them into the top of the columns,
then remove the top plates from the top of the columns while columns are standing. If you don’t have a
means for securely lifting them up, then you will need to lay the columns down and remove the top plates
to allow the cross rails to be slid into the columns.
8. Slide each cross rail into the front or rear two columns by holding the lock lever down, to allow the rail
to slide past the locking positions. Leave the cross rail locked in the lowest position on the column.
Repeat this step for the other cross rail (see Fig. 1).
9. Position the front cross rail columns at 170.5” from the rear cross rail columns by measuring from the
outsides of the columns. Square the lift by measuring diagonally between the right, front column to the
same position on the left rear column. Compare your measurement between the left front column and
the right rear column. This should be within 1/2” to allow some forgiveness to bolt on runways.
10. Lift the runways onto the cross rails and bolt them in place using the 3/4” holes towards the outside of
the cross rails. The four drop-in ramp plates will be used with the spacer side facing the lift and through-
bolted from the outside of the cross rail, through the runway using bolts provided with washers, lock
washers and nuts (see Fig. 2).
11. After runways are bolted on, install the column top plates back to their original columns and tighten.
12. CABLE INSTALLATION - Lay out all cables and measure from end to end to determine correct cable
positions (see Fig. 3).
13. Since the nub end of the cable is easier to feed through the pulley, start with the pulley at the end of the
cross bar and work your way back to the cylinder (see Fig. 3).
14. Install cable nubs onto appropriate slots in 1/2” plate and secure with slots on 1/4” plate. Tighten the
nubs so the nylock nut is fully threaded onto the head of the cylinder. The cable bracket should still be
able to move freely on the cylinder head.
15. Run the threaded cable ends into the hole in the top caps and secure with washer and nylock nut. Hand
tighten only, final adjustment will be made later. Do tighten the nylock nut on the end of the cylinder at
this time.
16. HYDRAULIC ASSEMBLY - Be sure wiring is in compliance with your local electrical codes.
