Section I: Introduction Make sure work area is clear of people and obstacles prior to dumping or unloading containers. SwapLoader strongly recommends that a backup alarm be installed on the truck chassis. The operation of the hook hoist is that the truck is backed up to the body to pick it up and so there is a potential pinch point between the body and the hook.

Section II: Installation INITIAL INSPECTION When the hoist is installed and ready for delivery, it is your responsibility to fill out and submit the Product Registration Form. Visit https://www.swaploader.com/warranty-registration/ complete this form. When the SwapLoader hoist is received from the factory, you should inspect the hoist for damage, which may have occurred in shipment.
Section II: Installation HOIST INSTALLATION TO TRUCK CHASSIS 1. Place the SL-105 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. It is advised to clamp the main frame of the hoist to the truck chassis prior to install of the mount brackets.
Page 15
Section II: Installation dimensions are flexible because of possible interference with chassis components. You should consult the truck chassis supplier for any limitations regarding drilling mount holes in the truck chassis frame rails. Typically, the holes must be at least 2 3/4” from the top of the truck chassis rails (reference Fig.
Section II: Installation CONTROLS INSTALLATION – MANUAL 1. Attach the valve mount bracket (Pt. No. 10H51) to the Main Frame as indicated on Pg. 5-11 with the fasteners provided (see Pg. 5-7). 2. Mount the hydraulic control valve assembly (Pt. No. 21P32) to the valve mount bracket as shown on Pg.

Section II: Installation cable path is essential for a proper operating system. Keep bends in the cable path to a minimum and be as generous as possible. Under no circumstances should any bend be tighter than an 8" radius. Protect the cable from heat above 225 degrees F. and avoid hot areas such as exhaust pipes, etc.
Section II: Installation CABLE CONTROL INSTALLATION w/ U-LOCK (OPTION) The Universal Body Lock (U-Lock) can be installed with a standard 3-section valve and operated from the cab (see Pg. 6-4 for routing). A separate indicator light and harness will be provided to be installed in the truck cab. This will notify the operator when the U-Lock has been engaged or disengaged.

Section II: Installation P.T.O. SELECTION The next step is to select and install a direct drive type P.T.O. to the transmission. Please contact your local truck equipment representative for the correct unit sized on the following criteria: P.T.O. Torque Rating: 80 ft.-lbs. (See Note 1) Power at 1500 RPM: 23 H.P.
Section II: Installation HOW TO IDENTIFY PUMP ROTATION To better understand the effects of pump rotation we must consider the path that oil takes through the pump. Oil enters the pump through the inlet (suction) port, travels around the outside of the gears, and is forced out through the outlet (exhaust) port. Oil enters and exits the pump in the direction of its rotation.
Section II: Installation Measure 1-3/16” from the end of the hose and mark the hose for the socket depth. Screw hose into the socket (left-hand thread) to the depth marked on the hose. Screw insert into socket until insert touches the socket. Clean the inside of the hose assembly by either blowing clean compressed air through it or by flushing it.
Section II: Installation START UP PROCEDURE 1. Fill the hydraulic tank with hydraulic oil (see oil specification in Section IV: Maintenance.) 2. Prime the pump by loosening the clamp on the suction hose at the pump. Pull the hose back off the fitting till the air is bled from the line. Push the hose back on the fitting and retighten the clamp.

Section IV: Maintenance 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.
Section IV: Maintenance ADJUSTMENT If after inspecting all mast lock components and making any necessary repairs the gap between the mast lock and latch bars on the pivot joint is still incorrect, then an adjustment will need to be made. Please complete the following steps: 1.

Section IV: Maintenance contact with the jib lockout valve roller. The roller should be depressed by the valve ramp so that 1/8” to 3/16” of the roller is exposed from the end cap (see illustration below). ADJUSTMENT Should the jib lockout valve need adjustment the first step will be to loosen the mount bracket screws (see illustration above).
Section IV: Maintenance PRESSURE CHECK INSTRUCTIONS When performing a pressure check on a SwapLoader hook-lift hoist, we recommend that you use a calibrated pressure gauge that reads pressures up to 3,500 PSI (a 0 to 5,000 PSI range gauge is recommended). As a minimum, the gauge should have 100 PSI graduation marks (50 PSI is preferred), and a 3-inch diameter dial size (4-inch dial is preferred).
Page 54
Section IV: Maintenance 2. Remove the female JIC #4 cap from the male JIC #4 adapter and attach the pressure gauge to the hydraulic control valve (see illustration below). 3. Start the truck and engage the P.T.O. 4. Push the lift (dump) circuit lever forward until the lift (dump) cylinders bottom out (see illustration below).
Page 55
Section IV: Maintenance PRESSURE CHECK STEPS (EHV) 1. Locate the female O-Ring Hex Plug found on the top of the hoist electric over hydraulic control valve (see illustration below). 2. Remove the O-Ring Hex Plug and attach the pressure gauge to the hydraulic control valve (see illustration below).
