To connect the Hydraulic Cables:
1. Remove the shipping plugs from the Hydraulic In and Hydraulic Return ports on the Hydraulic
Cylinder.
2. Install a 90° Cylinder Fitting in each of those ports.
Leave the fittings facing towards the Powerside Post.
3. Connect the Long Hydraulic Cable to the Hydraulic In fitting; route the cable towards the
Powerside.
4. Connect the Short Hydraulic Cable to the Hydraulic Return fitting; route the cable towards the
Powerside.
⚠ CAUTION Do not pull on the Hydraulic Cables while the Top Trough remains near the ground.
They are going to stay where they are until the Top Trough is put into position.
Installing the Top Trough
The Top Trough holds the Hydraulic Cylinder and the Lifting Cables. It also supports the Trip Stop
Tube underneath it.
⚠ CAUTION Watch out for the already-installed cabling. Make sure they do not get in the way as
you move the Top Trough into position.
Important: The Top Trough must be installed in a specific orientation: the end with the Hydraulic
Cylinder
must go over the Powerside Post; the end with the sheave assemblies must
go over the Offside Post.
To install the Top Trough:
1. Using a lifting device, raise the Top Trough into position on top of the two posts.
Check the orientation of the Top Trough: the end with the Hydraulic Cylinder must go over the
Powerside Post; the end with the four-groove sheave assemblies must go over the Offside Post.
2. Align the holes on the top of the Powerside Post with the holes on the bottom of the Top Trough,
then connect the two using the supplied 10 mm hex bolts, nuts, and the two pipe straps.
