5. Install the cylinders in the towers with the rod end up and the ports toward the
dock. Line up the upper clevis with the lug in the top of the tower and insert the
clevis pin from the platform side, through the hole in the tower side plate, into the
clevis and lug assembly. Install the pin retainer in the pin. Force the cylinder
barrel down and locate the lower cylinder clevis on the base pad clevis. Insert the
pin through the clevis and lug assembly from the outside of the tower and install
the pin retainer (see Figure 9). Repeat on the other side.
6. Place the pipe manifold assembly (optional) at the dock end of the Surface
Mounted Truck Leveler with the cylinder connecting ends centered through the “V”
notch in the bottom of the towers. See the “Pipe Manifold Assembly” in the
Replacements Parts section of this manual. The elbow fittings on the ends should
point upwards. Be sure the pipe manifold assembly has sufficient clearance on the
dock end and on the sides to prevent pipe from being crushed under the platform.
Weld tabs on the pipe manifold assembly to the cylinder clevis base pads.
7. Connect the power unit pressure line to the “T” fitting in one corner of the pipe
manifold assembly. Power unit pressure line may be connected at either corner.
Remove the plug from the other “T” fitting and apply pipe sealant and replace.
8. Install the transition hoses, rigid end, on the cylinder ends of the pipe manifold
assembly. Do not connect the hoses to the cylinders at this time.
9. Position the filler plates, touching the towers and flush with the platform, and tack
weld in place.
10. Field weld the towers to the platform and the filler plates to the towers and the
platform. The weld is to be a _” fillet all around. Clean the welds and touch up the
paint.
11. Connect the transition hose on the cylinder furthest from the power unit. Insert the
end of the transition hose closest to the power unit in a container suitable for
holding oil. Reconnect the power supply to the power unit. Push and hold the
“UP” button on the controller until approximately one half gallon of oil is discharged
from the open hose.
CAUTION!
Precautions must be taken to prevent unauthorized activation of the
power unit while service work is being performed.
