D4-9 / D4-9X Four-Post Lifts 32 P/N 5900251 — Rev. A— October 2020
Installing the Safety Covers
Like the Posts, the Safety Covers have “left” and “right” orientations. The Safety Covers must be
oriented so that the opening near the top of the Cover allows the Lifting Cables to pass through.
There are two Left Safety Covers and two Right Safety Covers.
The following drawing shows the correct orientation for the Safety Covers.
To install the four Safety Covers:
1. Find a Safety Cover and put it over the Crosstube Sheave from above.
2. Secure the Cover in place with a M6 x 1.0 x 16 Screw and M6 Split Lock Washer.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the remaining Covers.
