10AP Series Two-Post Lifts 38 P/N 5900265 — Rev. A10 — September 2023
Completing the Equalizing Cables Installation
Both Equalizing Cables should have been put into position coiled at the top of the Lift Posts before the
Posts were raised, which was covered in Putting the Equalizing Cables into Position.
This section picks up where that section left off: the Button Ends of the Equalizing Cables (on both
Posts) have been installed, routed around the Post Sheaves, and then pushed up above the Lift Head.
They now need to be routed over the Overhead Assembly and then down to the top of the Lift Head.
NOTICE
If your Equalizing Cables are not yet in position, you must go back and put them into position
before performing the following procedure.
When Equalizing Cables are fully routed, they are mirror images of each other. Refer to the figure
below.
Not to scale. Components removed for clarity.
