HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 30 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to raise the Runways and move them into position.
⚠ WARNING Pay close attention when moving the Runways into position; they are very heavy
and long, and could shift position or fall, potentially causing serious injury.
To install the Runways:
1. Correctly orient the Powerside Runway and the Offside Runway.
The Powerside Post must go next to the Power Post.
2. On the underside of the Powerside Runway, make sure the Sheaves have been removed.
3. Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to pick up the Powerside Runway and move it into place.
Make sure the Utility Rail is on the inside.
4. Bolt the Powerside Runway into place, two Bolts on each end going into the Crosstubes.
Use four M12 by 1.75 by 90 Hex Head Bolts.
5. Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to pick up the Offside Runway and move it into place.
6. Bolt the Offside Runway into place, two Bolts on each end going into the Crosstubes.
Make sure the Utility Rail is on the inside.
Important: The Offside Runway
must
be bolted on both ends when using the optional Rolling
Jack.
7. Make sure that the Primary Locks are engaged.
⚠ WARNING Do not continue with the installation until you have visually confirmed that all four
Safety Locks are engaged. If they are not engaged, the Runways could move or
fall, possibly causing personal injury or product damage.
8. Locate the Runway Strap from the Parts Box.
The Runway Strap is approximately 19 inches (472 mm) long and about 2 inches (50 mm) wide,
with a hole on either end of the Strap.
9. Align the holes on the Runway Strap with the holes underneath the Offside Runway, and then
secure it in place with a Bolt, Washer, and Nut.
