17. Find the four 5/16” bolts, nuts and lock washers and attach the power unit to the mounting bracket on the
column.
18. Remove dust cover from the port on the side of the power unit and attach the “O” ring elbow. Do not
over tighten. The backing nut and “O” ring will complete the seal to the power unit.
19. Install the 3/8” hose to the fitting on the side of the runway and connect opposite end to the fitting on the
power unit. Tighten JIC fittings carefully, do not over tighten.
20. LOCK LINKAGE ASSEMBLY - The single point safety lock is a system of connecting rods and linkage that
disengage the four lock latches that secure the lift to each column. Locate the six rods:
a. 2 - long rods
b. 2 - short rods
c. 1 - handle rod
d. 1 - T rod
Also locate hardware:
a. 1 - rod coupling with 2 jam nuts
b. 8 - heim ends with connecting nuts and bolts
c. 2 - spacers
21. Slip spacer over threaded end of handle rod and insert rod into hole on cross bar near power column.
22. Slip spacer over threaded end of T-rod and insert end into hole located on opposite cross rail, taking care
to run rod through rod guide located under ramp.
23. Thread jam nuts onto ends of handle rod and T-rod. Attach the handle rod to the T-rod using the rod
coupling. Adjust coupling to take the slack out of the rods. The rods should remain free enough to move
with no slack. Do not tighten coupler or lock nuts at this time.
24. Locate the two long rods and remove one end from each rod and slide off the eye bolt. Attach eye bolts
to center of cross rails by threading 1/2 of the way in and tighten jam nut.
