Installing the Overhead Assembly and Safety Shutoff Bar
The Overhead Assembly is installed above and between the Powerside and Offside Posts. It holds the
Equalizing Cables, the Hydraulic Hoses, the Microswitch wiring, and the Safety Lock Cable.
The Overhead Assembly is two pieces that are bolted together. The Overhead Assembly and the
Safety Shutoff Bar come from the factory already assembled in the Narrow Configuration.
NOTICE BendPak recommends placing the Overhead Assembly on sawhorses to prepare it.
The following graphic shows the bolting locations for both Narrow and Wide Configurations.
Note: When you line up the two Overhead Assembly pieces together, there will be four holes that go
through both pieces. Two holes on each side of the Overhead Assembly.
To prepare and install the Overhead Assembly:
If the Overhead Assembly is delivered unassembled, locate the two Overhead Assembly pieces
and the four Hex-Head Bolts, Flat Washers, and four Nyloc Nuts required to connect them.
Secure the
Overhead
Assembly
together in the
desired width
using the
hardware listed
in the
illustration.
Important: Mount the M10 Hex Bolt Heads and Flat Washers inside the Overhead, Nyloc Nuts outside.
