serious injury, or death. Never adjust the pressure on your own. Consult the manufacturer if the hydraulic pressure is in question. Have only a qualified person set the hydraulic pressure. Never adjust the pressure to more than the recommended amount. WARNING: Fluid under pressure can pierce the skin and enter bloodstream, causing serious injury or death.
Descriptions NOTE: This manual contains descriptions of hydraulic fittings. In describing these fittings, special designations are used.

The type of fittings that are included will vary, depending on the model of the hoist being installed. Refer to Figure 1a thru 1f, depending on the type of hoist and pump model that is being installed. For all of the units, a restricted fitting is supplied. This fitting reduces the speed at which the hoist closes, to prevent damage to the truck or trailer frame.

This manual contains information necessary for the proper installation and operation of an electric power unit. This manual applies only to a Monarch unit supplied from TBEI or Rugby. If you have a different power unit, refer to that manufacturer’s directions. With proper installation, use, and regular maintenance, this power unit will give many years of trouble free service.
Installation POWER UNIT ATTACHMENT: The power unit should be mounted in a protected area near the hoist. For longevity of the unit and related components, do not mount near exhaust system components or in the path of road splash from the vehicle’s tires. NOTE: Mount the unit horizontally so that the reservoir is level for full use of the reservoir capacity.

ELECTRICAL: Route a copper American Wire Gage (AWG) #0 cable from the battery to the power unit. Connect one end to the negative battery terminal. Connect the other end to the power unit’s aluminum valve block with a 5/16”-18 x 3/4” hex cap screw as shown in Figure 3.

FILL & PRIME: ® Fill the reservoir with automatic transmission fluid (ATF), such as Dexron Type A. Secure the unit’s power cable to the positive battery terminal to complete the electrical installation and allow operation of the unit. Place a drip pan or other suitable container below loose hose fitting at base end of cylinder.
Operation Instructions WARNING: Being under or near a raised body can result in injury or death should the body unexpectedly descend or tip. Hoist must be activated with operator in control at a safe location. No one must be allowed to enter the area under a raised body while the hoist is in operation.

NOTE: Always use clean automatic transmission fluid (ATF) in the power unit. Do not mix types. Check oil level monthly and add as needed (see Fill & Prime instructions) to prevent unit from pumping air. Change fluid annually to remove condensation and entrapped debris.

Lower the hoist by pressing and holding the “DOWN” pushbutton on the control station. This will activate the pump and start the hoist down. Releasing the pushbutton will stop lowering the hoist and it will hold its position. NOTE: When the hoist reaches its “DOWN” limit, the pump will bypass. Care should be taken not to let the pump bypass for long periods of time, as this will put stress on the whole hydraulic and electrical system.
