HD-973P Series Multi-Level Parking Lift 19 P/N 5900076 — Rev. B3 — January 2024
Deciding the Lift Orientation
Before going any further, decide how you want to orient your Lift. This decision affects where you will
place your Power Post and the positioning of the Runways, which are not interchangeable.
On each level, one Runway, called the Powerside Runway, has the Hydraulic Cylinder underneath it
and is the starting point for the Lifting Cables; it must be installed next to the Power Post (which holds
the Power Unit). The other runway, call the Offside Runway, does not have anything underneath and
none of the Lifting Cables are routed through it.
You can position your Power Post at either the Front Driver-Side or the Rear Passenger-Side.
The drawings in this manual show the Power Post at the Rear Passenger-Side, but that does not
mean you have to.
In many cases, the main factor is the location of the power source; many customers prefer to place
their Power Post (which holds the Power Unit), near the power source. If power is not an issue, choose
the option below that best fits your setup.
