serious injury, or death. Never adjust the pressure on your own. Consult the manufacturer if the hydraulic pressure is in question. Have only a qualified person set the hydraulic pressure. Never adjust the pressure to more than the recommended amount. WARNING: Fluid under pressure can pierce the skin and enter bloodstream, causing serious injury or death.
Caution The hydraulic system supplied with a given hoist manufactured by Rugby Manufacturing Co. is made up of components (pump, valves, reservoir, hoses, cylinder, etc.) that are designated to be compatible with each other. If you substitute hydraulic components, it is your responsibility to BE SURE they are compatible with the other components supplied by Rugby Manufacturing Co.
Assembly Instructions: Body Prop Installation: A body prop is supplied with every HR-520 hoist package kit. Insert the body prop into the body prop bracket, making sure that the handle hook is pointing towards the hoist. (Figure 1) Fasten the body prop to the body prop bracket with the supplied 1/2” x 3” hex screw &...

Hoist/Sub-frame Assembly: Position the hoist into the sub-frame and secure with four 1/2” x 1 1/2” flange bolts and nuts. To keep the hoist straight, align the saddle brackets of the hoist with the corresponding brackets in the sub-frame. (Figure 2) NOTE: Torque all 1/2”...

Fasten the very rear end of the sub-frame to the truck by welding the rear hinge angle to the chassis frame as shown in Figure 4. Position a mounting angle under each saddle flat located on each side of the sub-frame.
Page 9
NOTE: Torque all 1/2” fasteners to 90 ft. lb. Finally, weld each mounting angle to its respective saddle flat. (Figure 6) NOTE: DO NOT weld mounting angles or saddle flats to the truck frame. Stock No. 1656321 (03 5775)

Cut excess frame off behind the sub-frame rear hinge. IMPORTANT: If the truck has fuel tanks located between the chassis frame rails, run the fillwell spout between the chassis frame rails through one of the sub-frame side channel knockouts and outside the chassis frame rails for access to refueling the truck. If an alternate location is needed for the fillwell spout, other than the knockout locations provided, cut a hole in the sub-frame side rail at the preferred location.

Slide each of the lifting shafts against the inside of the long beam channel. Weld the lifting shaft to secure the shaft to the long beam as shown in Figure 8. With the shaft secured, slide the lock collars against the hoist lifting tube and lock them there by tightening the 3/8 set screw.

Install all grease fittings. For grease fitting locations, refer to Figure 7. Torque each grease fitting to 70 in. lb. Grease all grease fittings upon installation. Stock No. 1656321 (03 5775)
IMPORTANT: All hoist and sub-frame grease fittings should be greased at least every time the truck itself is greased. With the hoist and body completely installed, cycle the hoist several times to rid the hydraulic circuit of air. IMPORTANT: Several different types of pump and hydraulic components are available to power the HR-520.
