HDS-14LSX / HDS-14LSXE Lifts 35 P/N 5900162 — April 2018 — Rev. F3
• A Cable and its corresponding Cable Sheave (or Sheaves) are put into place one at a time, starting
from the Tie Plate to the top of the Post. Cables and their Cable Sheaves must be put into place at
the same time. Do not install the next Cable/Cable Sheave pair until the previous Cable/Cable
Sheave pair are in place.
• Each Crosstube Gusset has a Cable Lock Pin just under the bottom of the Gusset Sheave. Each
Cable Lock Pin needs to be removed when you are routing the Cable for the applicable 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 drawings on the following pages, the Cables and Cable Sheaves are labelled A, B, C, and D.
These letters indicate the order in which they are put into place. Cable A and Cable Sheave A are
put into place first, then Cable B and Cable Sheave B, and so on. These letters are
not
on the
label on the Threaded end. You have to match the Cable letter with the length information.
The Cable Sheave letters apply to the four Cable Sheaves at the Rear of the Lift. There are also
two Cable Sheaves at the Front of the Lift; they are associated with Cables C and D.
Cable
Sheaves A and B at the Front of the Lift do not exist
.
• The order in which the Cables and Sheaves are put into place is based on the order the Cable
Sheaves must be replaced,
not the length of the Cables
.
Note: If you have installed other BendPak Lifts, you may be expecting that the order in which
the Cable Sheaves are replaced aligns with the length of the Cables. That is not the case
with the HDS-14LSX and HDS-14LSXE Lifts.
• The four Cables for the HDS-14LSX are:
o A: 4100 mm / 13.5 feet / 161.5 inches (part number 5595065)
o B: 5732 mm / 18.8 feet / 225.75 inches (part number 5595066)
o C: 10990 mm / 36 feet / 432.75 inches (part number 5595075)
o D: 9339 mm / 30.5 feet / 367.75 inches (part number 5595074)
• The four Cables for the HDS-14LSXE are:
o A: 4100 mm / 13.5 feet / 161.5 inches (part number 5595065)
o B: 5732 mm / 18.8 feet / 225.75 inches (part number 5595066)
o C: 11751 mm / 38.5 feet / 462.75 inches (part number 5595068)
o D: 10076 mm / 33 feet / 396.75 inches (part number 5595067)
Important: Make sure to use the correct Cable for each routing. If you put a Cable in the wrong
place, it will be too short or too long. Remember that the length of each Cable is
printed on the label on the Threaded end.
• All four Cables start at the Tie Plate and then go around a Cable Sheave at the
Rear
of the Lift.
Cables A and B then go to the Gusset Sheave at the bottoms of the Posts to which they attach.
Cables C and D start at the Tie Plate, go around a Cable Sheave at the Rear of the Lift, are routed
to the Front of the Lift where they go around another Cable Sheave, and then go to the Gusset
Sheave at the bottoms of the Posts to which they attach.
In summary: Cables A and B go through one Cable Sheave and one Gusset Sheave. Cables C and
D go through two Cable Sheaves and one Gusset Sheave.
