7. Unpack the Crossbeams, Ramps, Safety Latch Linkage Rods and Lock Ladders from bottom Runway.
Remove the Safety Latch covers (Items # 58 & 69) Figure # 2 from Crossbeams. They will be reinstalled
later. Arrange the Crossbeams so that the Safety Latches / threaded Bolt for the Locking Linkage
is facing outward to ensure that both of the Connecting Rods (B) (Item # 79) are closest to the power unit
side columns.
8. If you have means for securely lifting the Crossbeam (Item # 6) Figure # 2, lower it into the tops of the col
umns. If you don’t, then the columns will have to be placed horizontal on the floor, and the Crossbeam
installed in the columns. Then the entire end structure (two columns and a cross rail) will need to
be stood up as one. Note: Make sure to install Crossbeams so that the Safety Latches / threaded
Bolt are facing to outside of the lift, once stood up. The Cables will run on the inside of the Crossbeams.
9. Unpack the Lock Ladders (Item # 5) Figure # 1 from the package and slide them into the precut slot on
the Rub Blocks (Item # 56) inside each column. After removing the top nut from the lock ladder you are
ready to install the Top Caps (Items # 3 & 4) Figure # 1 on the columns.
10. Be aware of the offset hole in Top Caps. Arrange them so that the cable mounting holes are closest to
the runways. Use provided bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers to install Top Caps as shown in Figure
# 1.
11. Secure Top Cap and Lock Ladder assemblies together with Washer and Nut (Items # 32 & 92). Position
the Crossbeams at the second lowest locking position on all columns.
12. Stand Up and arrange the two end structures (Columns & Crossbeams) so that the outside of the cross
rail to the outside of the cross rail measure’s 170.5”. Compare the measurements from the left and the
right until they are diagonally within 1/2”. The ½” variance will help in mounting the runways.
13. Lift and position each Runway into place and secure with the provided Hex Bolts (Item # 22) as shown in
Figure # 1. The lift will square itself as you further assemble it.
Note: Install the Offside Runway (Item # 34) opposite from the Mainside Runway (Item # 33) and Power
unit Column as shown in Figure # 1.
14. Route and mount the appropriate Cable(s) (Items # 48, 49, 50 & 51) to each Column Top Cap, while ensur
ing that the Plastic Cable Pulley (Item # 47) is between the Cable and the Lock Ladder. This will allow the
secondary slack cable lock to function properly. See Figure # 6 for Cable routing installation.
Note: Make sure all Cables are properly routed around Cable Sheaves.
