19. P r ess the starter button on the contact box and raise the hoist slightly. If the motor
turns, but the hoist does not lift, then the motor is turning in reverse, and two phases
in the contact box must be interchanged to reverse the direction of rotation (by an
Electrician).
20. R aise hoist approximately 200mm and remove the blocks on which the transverse
beams and platforms have been resting. Check all the hydraulic couplings to
ensure the there are no oil leaks (including hydraulic cylinder coupling).
NOTE: MAKE SURE THAT THE WIRE ROPES ARE NOT CROSSED AND THAT THEY DO NOT
FOUL ANY PART OF THE HOIST ASSEMBLY OR THEIR LIFE WILL BE SEVERELY SHORTENED.
21. L o wer the hoist to a point where the end of the transverse beam adjacent to No. 1
Post is approximately 50mm from the base plate.
22. A djust the posts so that they are square to the transverse beams and the rollers at
the ends of the beams contact the backs of the posts. Do not force the posts
against the rollers.
23. F or the hoist to function correctly, it is essential that the sides of both transverse
beams are exactly vertical. Using a spirit level, check the transverse beams at the
points indicated by the arrows in Figure 17. If the beams are out of vertical, shims
(packing X11) between the platforms and transverse beams will have to be used as
indicated in Figure 18.
24. W h en all posts are correctly positioned, secure them to the floor. 16mm x 64mm
DYNABOLT are recommended for fastening down. This may differ in some states.
25. T he posts must be exactly vertical in all planes and to each other for correct
operation of the hoist. If they are not vertical, shims must be used under the
baseplates.
26. E nsure that the locking toggles at the control ends of the transverse beams
(adjacent No.1 & No. 3 Posts) are both off. Fit the long square tube, (with the load
holding control handle in a near vertical position) by sliding the control end over the
safety-actuating square lug on the transverse beam adjacent to No. 1 Post. Bow
the tube, by pulling out at the middle of the tube and slide the other end of the
tube on the safety-actuating square lug on the transverse beam adjacent to No. 3
Post. Fit the retaining bracket to the centre of the driver’s side platform.
27. L o wer the hoist (using the lowering lever on the power unit) until the transverse
beams rest in the centering plates at the bottom of the posts. Tension the wire
ropes via the nuts in the following manner:
NOTE: In order to allow for normal wire rope stretch, it is advisable to have a car on
the hoist for this operation.
Tension the 4 wire ropes until they are just about to lift the transverse beams.
Engage the locking toggles by moving the load-holding control handle to the
horizontal position. Raise the hoist, taking note of the clicking sound made by the
locking toggles. If the four toggles all click together, the load holding is
operating correctly. If the toggles are not synchronised, appropriate adjustments
must be made. Leaving the load-holding control handle in the ON position, lower
the hoist until all locking toggles are engaged, observing when the locking toggles
engage in relation to No. 1 Post. Adjust the wire rope tension at one post at a time
until all locking toggles engage simultaneously. The platforms should be level when
all four locking toggles lock in simultaneously. When the locking toggles are
operating satisfactorily, fit the lock-nuts to the wire rope ends and tighten.
