E. Alternately tighten the cable nuts at both carriages until the cables are tightened. The correct
tension in the cables are indicated by being able to pull the cables together with approximately 15
lbs. effort at midpoint in the column. If the cables are installed correctly, both carriages will raise
together.
9. Install the Hydraulic Fittings & Hoses
When attaching hydraulic fittings with pipe threads to the cylinders use Teflon tape. DO
NOT start the Teflon tape closer than 1/8" from the end of the fitting. Failure to comply
may cause damage to the Hydraulic system.
When tightening connections with flared (JIC) fittings, always follow the following
tightening instructions. Failure to follow the below instructions may result in cracked
fitting and/or leaks.
Use the proper size wrench.
The nut portion of the fitting is the only part that should turn during tightening. The flare
seat MUST NOT turn.
Screw the fittings together hand tight.
Rotate the nut portion of the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats.
Back the fitting off one full turn.
Again, tighten the fitting hand tight, and then rotate the nut portion of the fitting 2-1/2 hex
flats.
A. Fittings & Hoses Connections:
1.
Install longest hose first. Connect the 90 degree hose end to bottom of the offside
cylinder and then route hose through the leg gusset. (Fig.7)
2.
Route hose from offside cylinder and up the side of the Offside column, then through the
upper hole on side of Offside column. While keeping the hose centered, route hose
across the top of the overhead beam and through upper hole on side of Main side
column, then route down towards the power unit mount bracket.
3.
