GrandPrix (GP-7 Series) Two-Post Lifts 26 P/N 5900209 — August 2018 — Rev. C2
8. Secure the cables with the top of the Tie Plate using a flat head and hex head bolts.
The following drawing shows how the Button ends and cables should appear just after you secure
the top of the Tie Plate into position.
Important: Make sure the cables are carefully aligned in their sheaves; you want to avoid as
much contact as possible between the cable and the sheaves while the lift is in
motion. This makes the lift move more smoothly and extends the life of the cables
and the sheaves.
9. The ends of the four cables will be hanging over the ends of the Top Trough.
⚠ CAUTION Do not step on or trip over the four lifting cables while the Top Trough remains near
the ground. They are a hazard until the Top Trough is put into position.
Routing the Safety Cable
The Safety Cable connects to the safety mechanism on the Offside Post, goes over the Safety Sheave
in the Offside end of the Top Trough, travels over the Lifting Cables in the Top Trough, goes over the
Safety Sheave in the Powerside end of the Top Trough, and then goes down to the safety mechanism
on the Powerside Post and eventually to the Safety Lock Release Handle.
After being fully set up, the Safety Cable and the Safety Lock Release Handle are used to release the
safety locks, allowing the lift to be lowered.
One end of the Safety Cable has a loop on it, the other does not. The loop end must be installed on
the Offside Post side.
To route the Safety Cable:
1. Locate the Safety Cable.
The Safety Cable is a long, thin steel cable with a loop on one end; the other end does not have a
loop.
The loop end of the Safety Cable connects to the safety mechanism on the Offside Post; the ends
are not interchangeable.
Make sure to orient the Safety Cable so that the loop end stays on the Offside
Post side of the lift.
2. Route the cable through the small notch in the bottom of the Top Trough, around the Offside
Safety Sheave, across the Top Trough
above the other components
, around the Powerside
