XPR-9 Series Two-Post Lifts 43 P/N 5900371 — Rev. D2 — May 2023
Installing Lift Arms
Lift Arms are what contacts the Vehicles to raise them off the ground. Your Lift comes with four Lift
Arms.
There are several rules that govern which Lift Arms go where on a particular Lift.
To determine the Front and Rear of the Lift:
• If you can only drive in one way. The approach side is the Rear, the other side is the Front.
• If you can drive in either way. Choose one side as the Front and the other side as the Rear.
The best way to make this decision is to pick one approach direction for the Vehicles you will be
putting on the Lift, even though you can drive in either way. Once the decision is made, you
approach the Lift from the Rear, so the other side is the Front.
Determine whether the Lift Arm is a ‘right’ or a ‘left.’ This is determined separately per Post.
To determine right and left, stand between the two Posts, then turn to face one of them straight on.
From this viewpoint, the right side of the Post is the ‘right’ and the left side of the Post is the ‘left.’
After finishing the first Post, repeat the process for the second Post.
The ‘left’ and ‘right’ designation comes into play when installing the Arm Restraint Gears on a Lift Arm.
Once you install an Arm Restraint Gear on a Lift Arm, that Lift Arm can only be correctly used on the
side you specified. For example, if you install an Arm Restraint Gear on a Lift Arm as Left, then it will
not work correctly if you put that Lift Arm on the Right side of a Lift Head.
