7. Unpack the Lock Ladders (Item # 38) Figure # 2 from the package and slide them into the precut slot on
the Rub Blocks (Item # 50) Figure #1 inside each column. After removing the top nut from the lock
ladder you are ready to install the Top Caps A&B (Items # 44 & 94) Figures # 2 & 6 on the columns.
8. Be aware of the offset hole in column Top Caps. Arrange them so that the cable mounting holes are clos
est to the runways. Use provided bolts, nuts, washers, and lock washers to install Top Caps as shown in
Figure # 2.
9. Secure Top Cap and Lock Ladder assemblies together with Washer and Nut (Items # 40 & 41) Figure # 2.
Position the Crossbeams at the second lowest locking position on all columns.
10. Stand up and arrange the two end structures (Columns & Crossbeams) so that the outside of the Cross
beam rail to the outside of the other Crossbeam rail measure's 184.5”. Compare the measurements from

the runways later.
11. Lift and position each Runway into place and secure with the provided Hex Bolts, Lock Washer, Flat
Washer and Nut (Items # 34, 35, 36 & 37) as shown in
Figure # 7. The lift will square itself as you further assemble it.

Figures # 4.
Note: Make sure all Cables are properly routed around Cable Sheaves.
15. Install all Lock Rods & Linkage components per the drawing on (Page 20) Figure #5. Also, install the

16. Mount the Power Unit (Item # 7) to the Mainside Column with the attached mounting bracket using the
Hardware (Items # 16, 17 & 103) provided as shown in Figure # 6. Once mounted, fill the Power
Unit reservoir tank with hydraulic fluid. Now, install the 90 degree Hydraulic Fitting (Item #75) Figure # 3
to the high pressure port on the Power Unit. Connect the electrical power to the Power Unit.
17. Install the “braded” Hydraulic Hose (Item # 74) to the Fitting on the side of the Mainside Runway and at
tach the other end to the 90 degree Fitting on the Power Unit as shown in Figure # 3.
18. Now raise the complete unit (Lift) and set at one of the bottom lock positions. Place level on crossbeam.
