D4-9 / D4-9X Four-Post Lifts 51 P/N 5900251 — Rev. A— October 2020
Caster Kit
Important: Only put the Caster Kit into position to move the Lift. When you are done moving the
Lift, remove the Caster Kit. Do not raise a Vehicle when it is on its Caster Kit.
To move your Lift with the Caster Kit:
1. Raise the Lift to the first lock and engage it there.
2. Locate the components of the four Caster Kit assemblies.
3. Using the supplied hardware, bolt all four Casters to the four holes in each of the Caster Kit Shafts.
4. Take one Shaft and put the open end around the Post, with the Shaft on the inside of the Lift.
The Cradle of the Shaft needs to be directly below the Crosstube above it.
5. Put the Pin through the holes in the Caster Kit assembly and the Post.
6. Put the Cotter Pin into place on the end of the Pin.
7. Repeat Steps 3 through 5 for the other three Caster Kit Assemblies.
8. Lower the Lift down to the ground.
Make sure the Crosstubes are going into all four Cradles on all four Caster Kit Shafts; this is what
pushes the Bases of the Posts off the ground so that you can move it.
9. Move the Lift to the desired location.
10. Raise the Lift to a locking position — off the Caster Kit assemblies — and engage it there.
11. Take off all four Caster Kit assemblies.
