HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 21 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Installing the Crosstubes
Your Lift has two Crosstubes, both hollow, which allows the Lifting Cables to be run through them to
the Posts. The two Crosstubes are:
• Crosstube with Large Windows: Goes on the end of the Lift opposite of the Power Post, with
the Windows facing the inside.
• Crosstube with Small Windows: Goes next to the Power Post, with the Windows facing the
inside.
Important: It is possible to install the Crosstubes
incorrectly
in several different ways. Take your
time now and get it right the first time.
The Crosstubes
must
be installed so that their Windows open to the
inside
of the Lift; the
Crosstubes
must
also be installed so that their Windows are on the Powerside Runway side of the Lift
(the Runway with the Hydraulic Cylinder).
The following drawing shows the two Crosstube setups based on the Power Post location.
