D4-9 / D4-9X Four-Post Lifts 30 P/N 5900251 — Rev. A— October 2020
Important: Make sure to route each Lifting Cable correctly. If you route a Lifting Cable to the
wrong Post, it will either be too short or too long. If this happens, check to see where
the Lifting Cable is supposed to go and then route it there. As a general rule, there
should be about 1 inch of threads above the Top Cap when you put the Lifting
Cable in place. If there is significantly less or more, you have the wrong cable.
The following drawing shows how Lifting Cables are routed to the top of their Posts.
View is from the inside of the Lift. Not to scale. Not all components shown.
Runway Sheaves are all under the Powerside Runway, four on one end (two stacks of two Sheaves)
and two on the other end (two stacks of single Sheaves).
All Runway Sheaves should have been removed when unpacking the Lift. The following drawing shows
how to reinstall the Runway Sheaves when it comes time to do so.
