Routing the Lifting Cables
Before routing the Lifting Cables on your Lift, you need to know the following:
• Each Platform has four Lifting Cables. All Cables have varying lengths and can only make one
connection.
• All Lifting Cables have a Button end and a Threaded end. The Threaded end has a label on it that
identifies the Lift model the Cable is designed for (and must be used with), the part number (if you
need to replace it), and its length (in millimeters).
• The Threaded end of each Lifting Cable goes to its paired Cable Sheave (or Sheaves) and then
gets routed to a Post; there are two kinds of Sheaves: Cable Sheaves and Gusset Sheaves.
• Cable Sheaves and Gusset Sheaves come installed but must be removed prior to putting the
Runways in place. They are put into place as you route each Lifting Cable.
• Each Platform has a set of Double Cable Sheaves in the Crosstube with Large Windows (also
inside the Pull Box for the Upper Platform).
• The two Lifting Cables that share a Double Cable Sheave (Lifting Cables A and C, then Lifting
Cables B and D) are routed around the same time in order to reinstall the Double Cable Sheaves.
• Each Crosstube Gusset has a Cable Lock Pin underneath the Gusset Sheave. Each Cable Lock
Pin needs to be removed when routing the Cable to its Post. Reinstall the Cable Lock Pin once the
Cable is in place.
• The Cable Lock Pin prevents the Cable from coming out later; there is not enough space between
the bottom of the Gusset Sheave and the Cable Lock Pin for the Cable to slip out.
• In the following drawings, the Lifting Cables and Cable Sheaves are labeled A, B, C, and D. These
letters are not on the label on the Threaded end. You must match the Cable letter with the length
information.
