Installation Guide

Hydraulic Hose Installation continued…

After referring to the drawing above install the hydraulic hoses in this sequence.

Notice: DO NOT USE TYFLON TAPE ON ANY HIGH PRESSURE FITTTINGS. THIS ABOVE

GROUND TWO POST LIFT UTILIZATES ONLY HIGH PRESSURE HYDRAULIC OIL FITTINGS.

TYFLON TAPE IS ONLY DESIGNED FOR LOW PRESSURE WATER PIPE. Use only high

pressure oil sealant compound to the male and female threads. Failure to properly seal the hydraulic

lines and fittings could result in hydraulic leaks and or hydraulic failure. Hydraulic leaks due to

improper installation will not be covered by warranty or any manufacturer liability.

1. Remove the plastic pugs from the base of the hydraulic cylinders and attach the two (2)

flow control valves. (Item #107 above) Use a high pressure oil sealant when installing

these valves to prevent leakage. Be careful to not over tighten these threads.

2. Install the short hydraulic hose (Item # 106 above) to the power side column cylinder

connecting at the flow control valve.

3. Install the “T” fitting to the short hydraulic hose. (Item 105 above)

4. Connect the long hydraulic hose (Item #104 above) to the “T” fitting.

5. Connect the medium length hose (Item #112) to the long hydraulic hose using the hose

connector (Item # 111) midpoint inside of the overhead beam assemble.

6. Connect the medium length hydraulic hose to the flow control valve (Item #107) on the

slave side column.

Note: The hydraulic hose that go through the overhead beam must be positioned inside the

hose brackets mounted in the base of the overhead beam to protect the hoses from rubbing

on the equalizing cables. Use the provided plastic zip ties to attach the hose to the three (3)

brackets to prevent movement. See photo below for reference.
