10AP Series Two-Post Lifts 25 P/N 5900265 — Rev. A10 — September 2023
Take an Equalizing Cable and locate the Button End you are going to use:
• For Wide Configurations, use the Button end at the very end of the cable.
• For Narrow Configurations, use the Button end away from the end of the cable.
Push the Button end up through the bottom of the Lift Head up towards the Cable Button Stop,
then push the Button end into the Slot in the Cable Button Stop.
Important If you are having problems getting the Button end into the Slot, try pushing the
Button end past the Button Stop and out the Hole at the Top of the Lift Plate; now,
move the Equalizing Cable around to get the Cable into the Slot. Once the cable is
in the Slot, pull back on the other end of the Cable to slide the Button end into the
Slot. Try to keep the Cable taut until the Equalizing Cable is connected at the other
end, done later in the installation. Note that it can be difficult to get the cable back
into the Slot if it comes out.
If you are using the Narrow configuration, bend the top of the Equalizing Cable so that it is out of
the way of the other components in the Lift Head and Post.
Route the Equalizing Cable down to where the Post Sheave used to be and then up again towards
the top of the Post.
Lubricate the Sheave Pin and Bearing with Red Lithium Grease, then replace the Post Sheave,
making sure the Equalizing Cable is routed under it and in the Sheave.
Push the Threaded end of the Equalizing Cable through the Lift Head and out the Hole at the Top
of the Lift Head.
Illustration shows the opening in the
Lift Head, which is where you route
the Threaded end of the Equalizing
Cable.
Not all components are shown.
Reference only – do not scale.
Coil up and bind the remainder of the Cable (the portion above the Hole at the Top of the Lift
Head), then leave it resting on top of the Post until later in the installation.
Move both Lift Heads back down to the bottom of each Post.
Verify the Cylinder Clamps are in place on the Hydraulic Cylinders above the Lift Head.
