STEP 6: iNSTALL LIFT STRAP ASSEMBLIES
(SEE FIGURE 5)
Loosen the bolts and nuts on the lift strap
assemblies 1/4 turn or until the straps will slide back
and forth.You will retighten them later in step 26.
Turn the lift strap assemblies as shown. Install each lift
strap assembly to an arm of the lift bracket assembly
and then secure with a small 1/2" washer (GG) and a
short hairpin cotter (AA).
Position the lower end of each lift strap assembly to
the outside of the lift frame. Fasten to the upper front
holes in the lift frame using a clevis pin (MM), 1/2"
long spacer (Y) and short hairpin cotter (AA) for each
assembly.
NOTE: The lift strap assemblies may be installed in the
rear mounting holes of the lift frame to increase the lift
height, but this will also increase the lifting effort. The
front holes give a lift height of about 6-1/2" and require 28
Ibs. of force to lift a 150 Ib load. The rear holes will give a
lift height of about 8-1/2" and require 35 Ibs. of force.
STEP 5: INSTALL TILT ANCHOR ASSEMBLY
(SEE FIGURE 4)
Assemble the tilt anchor assembly to the lift bracket
assembly using two 1/2" x 1" hex bolts (C) and 1/2"
nylock jam nuts (P). Tighten.
