To install the Crosstubes:
1. Orient the Crosstubes in their required locations:
• The Front Crosstube must be at the Front of the Lift with the Small Window facing the inside.
• The Rear Crosstube must be at the Rear of the Lift with the Large Window facing the inside.
Both Windows must be on the Powerside.
The Crosstubes
must be installed in these orientations.
2. Put black Slide Blocks into place on the outside ends of each Gusset (4 Slide Blocks per Gusset, 8
per Crosstube, 16 total for the Lift).
Align the holes in the Slide Blocks with the rods on the sides of the Gusset, then press the Slide
Blocks in. Make sure the Slide Blocks are oriented so that they create a Slot when pushed in.
The following drawing shows how to correctly install two Slide Blocks onto a Gusset.
The four Slide Blocks on a Gusset, when put into place, create two Slots about four inches wide
and half an inch deep. There is one Slot at the top of the Gusset and a second Slot at the bottom;
the Ladder
must go through both Slots on the Gusset.
⚠ WARNING If the Slide Blocks are not correctly installed, then the Slots for the Ladder are not
created. In such a case, the Safety Locks will not work correctly, which endangers
everyone who uses the Lift. Make sure to correctly install the Slide Blocks.
The following drawing shows the Slot created by two Slide Blocks.
3. Using a Forklift or Shop Crane, raise the Crosstube with the Slide Blocks installed above the top of
the two Posts that it goes between, lower it to just over the top of the Post, orient the Slide Blocks
over the openings in the Posts, then slide the Crosstube down.
4. Perform Steps 2 and 3 for the second Crosstube.
