D4-9 / D4-9X Four-Post Lifts 23 P/N 5900251 — Rev. A— October 2020
Installing the Runways
Your Lift has two Runways:
• Powerside Runway: Has the Lift’s Hydraulic Cylinder underneath it. Lifting Cable routing starts
under the Powerside Runway.
• Offside Runway: The Offside Runway does not have a Hydraulic Cylinder under it, nor are there
any Lifting Cables or Runway Sheaves under it.
⚠ WARNING Runways are very heavy and very long. Only let trained personnel move the
Runways and only use appropriate tools, such as a Forklift or Shop Crane.
The following drawing shows the correct orientations of the Runways.
The only valid locations for the Power Post are Driver-Side Front or Passenger-Side Rear. Not
necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
To install the Runways:
1. Make sure all six Sheaves have been removed from under the Powerside Runway.
There are two on one end and four on the other end.
2. Locate the eight M12 x 1.75 x 90 Bolts and M12 Washers needed to secure the Runways in place.
3. Using a Forklift or Shop Crane, carefully move the Runways, one at a time, to their required
positions with two Bolts and Washers on each end going into the Crosstubes.
