Items Needed:
Qty
Description
2 Mast Beams – Left & Right
2 Upper Wheel Guides – left & right (“L” & “R” on the assembly)
2 Cable Adaptors
4 Cotter Pins
2 Cable Adaptor Pins (with cotter pin holes)
1. Place the upper wheel guide assemblies in the beam as shown in Figure 19a by
sliding them into the beam running space from below the guide angle near the
bottom of the mast beam.
NOTE: This step must be done first due to the limited access space once the
wheel guides are inside the guide beams & behind guide angles.
2. Attach the lifting cables to the cable adaptors and the cable adaptors to the upper
wheel guide locking cams using the high strength adaptor pins and cotter pins
provided as shown in Figure 19b.
3. Pull on the cable where it attaches to the wheel guide assembly. Slide the wheel
guide assembly down the beam until it is approximately seven (7) feet from the
bottom of the beam. The upper wheel guide blocks should then be positioned so
that they will align with the uppermost sets of holes in the carriage uprights once the
beam is raised into position.
NOTE: The safety cams will attempt to engage as you move them down the
beam. Rotate and hold them in a disengaged position while you slide them into
position.
NOTE: Oil may be released when cylinders are extended.
