XPR-10 Series Two-Post Lifts 21 P/N 5900951 — Rev. D — May 2019
Putting Equalizing Cables into Position
It is much easier to put the Equalizing Cables into position
before
you stand up the Posts. Note that
this is
of the Equalizing Cables, just putting them into position.
⚠ CAUTION BendPak recommends wearing gloves while handling the Equalizing Cables.
The Equalizing Cables keep the Lift Heads synchronized. You do not want one Lift Head lowering or
raising faster than the other Lift Head; the Vehicle on the Lift would become unstable and could fall.
The following drawing shows an Equalizing Cable; the ends are exaggerated for clarity.
Important: For Symmetric models, the two Equalizing Cables are the same length.
For
Asymmetric models, the two Equalizing Cables are different lengths
. For
Asymmetric models, the longer cable is routed over the Overhead Assembly Sheaves
on the Approach side of the Lift (the Overhead Assembly Sheaves that are furthest
apart from 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.
