About the Pivot Pieces
Once the Medium and Short Rods of the Safety Lock Release Mechanism are installed on both ends
of the Lift, you need to check the Pivot Pieces to see that they are angled correctly:
• The Pivot Piece with the Handle. Make sure this Pivot Piece is angled a little bit to the left as
you are looking at it, about 7:00 o’clock.
Front view of the Crosstube. Not all components shown.
• The Pivot Piece with no Handle. This Pivot Piece should be oriented the opposite of the
other Pivot Piece, so it should be angled a little to the right, or about 12:30 o’clock.

If the Pivot Pieces are not oriented correctly (for example, if they are both oriented straight up and
down), the Safety Locks may not catch on the Safety Lock Holes when you try to lower the Lift onto its
Safety Locks. If this issue occurs, adjust the angle of the Pivot Pieces until all Safety Locks engage in
the Safety Lock Holes.
