Before applying the lifter to a load, install or remove the adjustable center arm as needed to

To Install the Center Arm

the adjustable center arm, by pulling on the pull rings.

pad of the hand cup faces in the correct direction.

pins through the holes until the retaining balls emerge on the far side of the arm mount.
WARNING: Both pins must be used to connect center arm to lifter.

1) Remove the cotterless hitch pins from the mount at the end of the adjustable center arm, by
pulling on the pull rings.
2) Remove the center arm from the lifter, and reinsert the cotterless hitch pins in the center arm
for safe-keeping. Store the removed center arm in a clean, dry location to protect it from
environmental exposure.
