XPR-10 Series Two-Post Lifts 39 P/N 5900951 ā Rev. D ā May 2019
Installing the Equalizing Cables
The two Equalizing Cables keep the Lift Heads synchronized as they raise and lower.
Both Equalizing Cables should have been put into position on the Posts before the Posts were raised,
which was covered in Putting Equalizing Cables into Position.
This section picks up where that section left off: the Button Ends of the Equalizing Cables (on both
Posts) have been installed, routed around the Post Sheaves, and then pushed up above the Lift Head.
They now need to be routed over the Overhead Assembly and then down to the top of the Lift Head.
Important: If your Equalizing Cables are not yet in position, you must go back and put them into
position before performing the following procedure.
When Equalizing Cables are fully routed, they are mirror images of each other.
Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown. Some components exaggerated for clarity.
Asymmetric model shown, so one cable is longer than the other.
To route the Equalizing Cables:
1. Manually raise both Lift Heads about 28 inches / 711 mm off the ground and engage them on the
closest Safety Lock.
Make sure both Lift Heads are the same distance off the ground.
2. Make sure the Button Ends of both Equalizing Cables are still in the Slots in their Lock Plates, that
both Equalizing Cables go under the Post Sheave in their Posts, and that the Threaded Ends have
been routed through the Hole at the Top of the Lift Head.
If either cable is not correct, fix it; you cannot continue until the Equalizing Cables are in their
correct starting positions.
Remember, for a Wide Configuration, use the Button End at the very end of the Equalizing Cable.
For a Narrow Configuration, use the Button End away from the end of the Equalizing Cable.
