PRIOR TO RAISING THE COLUMNS

1. Prior to raising posts, slide each carriage upwards to

expose the cylinder port in the base of the hydraulic cyl-

inder and to aid in sheave removal and equalizer cable

routing. (See Fig 3.1)

2. Install a 1/4” NPT straight tting into each cylinder

port using teon tape then temporarily remove the cable

sheaves located at the inside bottom of each Column by

rst removing the hex head bolts, and then by removing

the sheave pin. (See Fig 3.2)

3. Route button end of the cable upwards through the

bottom of the carriage and wrap the cable around the cable

sheave and reinstall sheave by reversing the sheave removal

procedure. Leave excess cable tied together in a coil to car-

riage until further steps are required. (See Fig 3.3 & 3.4)

4. To install optional sheave covers, place sheave cover

on sheave bracket so that the bracket return faces to-

wards the sheave and align pin holes and bolt holes. The

cutout in the bracket for the cable must be facing towards

the base plate. Insert pin through sheave cover, sheave

bracket, and sheave. Align pin bolt hole with sheave

cover bolt hole and sheave bracket bolt hole and insert
