INITIAL INSPECTION When the SwapLoader hoist is received from the factory, you should inspect the hoist for damage, which may have occurred in shipment. If damage has occurred, you should contact the shipper immediately. Be sure to note any damage or missing items on bill of Lading.
HOIST INSTALLATION TO TRUCK CHASSIS Place the SL-650 hoist assembly on the truck chassis. The truck chassis mounting surface should be flat without any steps or protrusions. If necessary shim bars need to be added to ensure a flat surface on which to support hoist. The truck chassis should meet the following minimum specifications (See Figures A): RBM for each frame channel: 2,750,000 in.-lb.
Page 25
There are three types of mount brackets used on the Model SL-650 hoist as indicated in Figure B or Drawing No. 43H03. They are the spring mount brackets (40H31), and the front mount brackets (Pt. No. 81H23), and the rear mount brackets (Pt. No. 81H24).
Page 26
Weld the mount brackets to the hoist mainframe as indicated on Figures C thru E. You may need to modify the mount brackets or add shim plates to allow for variances in the width of the truck chassis as well as to allow for top rivets, stepped channels, etc. Figure C Figure D SL-650.INS 09/2009...

Note: The hoist mainframe is made from high strength low alloy steel. Use an appropriate welding process. SL-650.INS 09/2009...
Assemble and install the control lever console (See diagram below). Typically the console is fastened to the floor of the cab and the control cables are routed through additional holes drilled in the floor. Your particular installation may require that additional brackets be fabricated or other modifications made. SL-650.INS 09/2009...

MAST LOCK INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS All SwapLoader hook-lift hoists come with a mast lock (safety latch) assembly that is located on the bottom side of the outer tube. When the jib is extended the mast lock then engages the latch bars (forks) on the pivot joint, making the jib, outer tube, and pivot joint into a continuous member for raising the container or body up into a dump mode.

5. Once the 1/4" clearance is achieved, then tighten the jam nut. Make sure to hold the adjustment bolt from turning when tightening the jam nut. Please contact your SwapLoader Distributor or SwapLoader USA should you have any questions regarding this procedure.
Page 87
JIB LOCKOUT VALVE INSPECTION & ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS All SwapLoader hook-lift hoists have a jib lockout valve (see illustration below) to prevent accidental operation of the telescopic jib, while the hoist is up in a dump mode. Because the jib lockout valve can block the flow of hydraulic oil to the jib cylinder, should the valve come out of adjustment the telescopic jib may experience a reduction in extension or retraction speed to the point of stalling out.
