1.
The hoist installation for a unit with the stabilizer option is much the same as that for the
standard unit except that a three section hydraulic control valve is used. (See Drawing
No. 90H68 for Manual Control or Drawing No. 90H69 for Air Controls for the correct
installation and plumbing diagrams for a hoist with three control circuits in the Option
section of the Parts List pages of the manual).
2.
The following diagram gives the approximate position of the stabilizer roller from the top
of the truck chassis frame rail with the mounts as provided by SwapLoader. When
extended down, the roller should touch the ground only when the vehicle is loading a
heavy container. Therefore, with the truck empty, leave 2 to 3 inches of clearance
between the ground and the roller.
Also, you will need to check that when the roller is up in the transport position it does not
interfere with any part of the rear axle, rear suspension, or brake components. If some
interference will occur, you may slant the stabilizer mounting back from the vertical
position until you leave sufficient clearance. This can be achieved by cutting the truck
chassis frame rails off at an angle before installing the stabilizer mounts. Do not slant the
mounting more than eight degrees (about a 14:2 pitch).
