Section I: Introduction TO THE CUSTOMER: THIS MANUAL CONTAINS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS TO THE TRUCK CHASSIS. ALL INSTRUCTIONS ARE RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES ONLY. THIS MANUAL ALSO PROVIDES BREAKDOWNS OF EACH SUB-ASSEMBLY APART OF THE HOIST THAT LISTS PART NUMBERS AND DESCRIPTIONS SHOULD ANYTHING NEED TO BE REPLACED ON THE HOIST.
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-214 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.

Reference Fig. G for the suggested location of the hydraulic tank to the rear of the control valve assembly on the left-hand side of the truck. The hydraulic hoses have been sized for the tank to be mounted in this general area. The tank can be located on the right-hand side or behind the cab, if necessary, which means longer hoses may be required.
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.
