HD-9 Series Four-Post Lifts 24 P/N 5900123 — Rev. M1 — March 2020
Installing the Ladders and Top Cap
Each Post has a Ladder; each Ladder gets installed on the inside back of a Post. Ladders are secured
at the top and the bottom. All four Ladders are identical.
It is
not
necessary to slide the Ladders in from the very top of the Post.
The Top Caps secure the Ladder at the top of each Post and hold the ends of the Lifting Cables.
Make sure to install each Ladder through
both slots
on each Crosstube Gusset.
Note: It is much easier to secure the bottom of the Ladders once the Crosstubes have been
raised, so that portion of installing the Ladders is described in Securing the Ladders.
⚠ WARNING Make sure to install the Ladders correctly. If they are not installed correctly, the
Safety Locks on your Lift may not hold the weight of a Vehicle, putting anyone
under the Lift in danger.
