Section I: Introduction SWAPLOADER, U.S.A., LTD 1800 N.E. BROADWAY, DES MOINES, IOWA 50313 LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT Effective September 1, 2009 SwapLoader U.S.A., Ltd., (SwapLoader), warrants to the original purchaser of any new SwapLoader product sold by an authorized SwapLoader distributor or service center, that such products are free of defects in material and workmanship.
Section I: Introduction SAFETY SUGGESTIONS Do not operate or service this equipment until you have been properly trained and instructed in its use and have read the operation and service manual. Do not operate this equipment on uneven ground. Do not drive with the hoist in the dump position or with the hook to the rear.
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-222 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.

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 which is based on the SwapLoader provided pump: P.T.O.
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 5. Install the pressure hose as indicated. Tie up the pressure and suction hoses as necessary. Again, be sure the hoses are routed to avoid exhaust components and to stay clear of the drive shaft. HYDRAULIC TANK INSTALLATION 1. Select a location to mount the hydraulic tank. Reference Fig. F or Pg. 5-12 for the suggested location of the hydraulic tank to the rear of the control valve assembly on the left- hand side of the truck.
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 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).
