  • Page 15: Safety Release Cable Routing And Adjustment

    SAFETY RELEASE CABLE ROUTING AND ADJUSTMENT The mechanical safety automatically engages. To release the mechanical safety, you must first raise the lift approximately 2”, then pull the safety release lever down. This disengages the power side safety dog and activates the safety cable to release the slave side safety dog.
  • Page 16 Guide the cable up under the large pulley towards the end of the safety dog. Remove the 3/8” x 1 ½” shoulder bolt from the safety dog. Feed the shoulder bolt through the collar of the safety release cable and then replace the shoulder bolt securely to the safety dog.

Attach a 15ft. clear bleeding hose to the same fitting, and place the open end of the hose into the power pack’s reservoir’s filler neck or in a container in which the oil came in for reuse.
  • Page 18: Hydraulic Adjustment Procedure

    5.11 HYDRAULIC ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE Important! Should your lift come out of synchronization, i.e. one carriage is higher than the other, it is necessary to level the lift hydraulically. When slave side is higher than the power side: 1. Lower lift on to the first safety on the power side. 2.
  • Page 19 Figure 13 – Crossmember Leveling Figure 14 – Tower Leveling Figure 15 – Shim Placement Figure 16 – Anchor Installation Refer to Bay Layout (Figure 3) to ensure that the column is still in the proper position. Using a rotary hammer drill with a ¾” masonry drill bit, drill holes in the floor on the high side column using the tower baseplate as a template.
  • Page 20: Shimming Of The Remaining Tower

    Reconfirm that the column is level front to rear and side to side (Figure 14). Add or remove shims as required. Torque all anchor bolts to 150 ft-lbs. (203 Nm), continually checking that the column is level as you proceed. If anchor bolts do not tighten to 150 ft-lbs. OR project more than 1 ¾”...
