HOSE ORIENTATION
To prevent damage to the cylinder hose and possible failure of lift, it is necessary to
establish a correct hose shape and pattern of movement as follows:
1. Raise the lift to its full height and block securely. See “Lift Blocking Instructions”.
2. Install one end of the new hose to the cylinder elbow fitting.
3. Since the hose is fixed at both ends, it is possible to put a twist in the hose that
will allow it to describe the same pattern each time the lift is operated. This twist
will allow the hose to travel about half way between the cylinder on the right side
and the inner leg on the right side.
4. Lower the lift carefully and check to see that the hose is free and clear of the
cylinder and the inner leg assembly. If not, twist the hose in the direction
necessary to clear it of any obstruction and then lock the swivel fitting securely.
