Connect the Hydraulic Hoses
Hydraulic Hoses provide Hydraulic Fluid to the Hydraulic Cylinders, where it is used to raise the
Platform.
The Power Unit can be placed on either side of the Frame, as long as the operator has an
unobstructed view of the Lift
at all times .
The following drawing shows how to route the Hydraulic Hoses on the Lift.
Drawing shows Power Unit on the left side of the Frame. Drawing not to scale. Some components not
shown, other components exaggerated for clarity.
To connect the Hydraulic Hoses:
1. Locate the Long Hydraulic Hose, two Quick-Connect Fittings, and a Straight Fitting.
2. Clean the Hydraulic components using the information in Hydraulic Fluid Contamination.
3. The Short Hydraulic Hose is shipped from the factory already connected between the Hydraulic
Cylinders.
If it is not , remove the Shipping Plugs from the Hydraulic Hose Ports near the bottom of each
Hydraulic Cylinder on the Lift, attach Hydraulic Elbow Fittings (04 JIC – 04 NPT) to the inside
Hydraulic ports, and then connect the Short Hydraulic Hose to the Elbow Fittings you just
attached, making sure to route the Hose through the Retaining Ring near the top of the Hydraulic
Cylinders.
Make sure to keep the Hydraulic Cylinder Ports and Fittings contaminant-free.
4. Attach a Hydraulic Straight Fitting (NPL 04 JIC – 04 NPT) to the outside Hydraulic Port of the
Hydraulic Cylinder closest to where the Power Unit will be.
5. Route the Long Hydraulic Hose through the opening in the Frame, and then connect it to the
Straight Fitting.
6. Connect the Female Quick-Connect Fitting to the other end of the Hydraulic Hose.
