HD-7P / HD-7W Four-Post Lifts 21 P/N 5900041 — Rev. M — July 2019
Moving the Posts into Position
Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to move the Posts. You need to have
at least two people
work
together to stand up the Posts.
⚠ DANGER The Posts are heavy and awkward; be very careful when handling them. If they fall
on a person, they will cause injury.
To move the Posts into position:
1. Using a Forklift or Shop Crane, move the four Posts, one at a time, to the inside corners of the
Chalk Line Guides.
Important: Position the Power Post at the location you chose earlier. The other three Posts can go
at any of the remaining Post locations.
2. Stand up each Post.
Have
at least two people
work together to stand up a Post.
⚠ WARNING Be very careful when walking around the Posts; they are not anchored down at this
point, so it is possible to knock them over, which could cause significant injury.
3. Orient each Post as you stand it up.
The inside (where the Lift Head is) of each Post needs to face the inside of the Post across from it
on the other side of the Lift.
4.
Do not anchor the Posts at this point.
You may or may not be anchoring the Posts at all, depending on whether or not you are going to
be using the optional Caster Kit. But even if you are planning on anchoring the Posts eventually,
do not anchor the Posts
now.
