Safety
Assembling your lift can be an enjoyable afternoon activity for you and your friends. Wear work
gloves and safety glasses during the installation process, and avoid alcohol when installing or
operating your lift. Ensure that nothing, especially an accident, puts a damper on your activities.
A Note about Hydraulic Fluid
Use ONLY AW-32 or ISO-32 hydraulic oil for your lift. DO NOT USE DEXRON®. Use of
Dexron®will damage the seals in the lift hydraulic system and shorten the usable life of all
hydraulic components.

Let’s Get Started
Unpacking your lift
Before you unpack the lift, take the time to make the following preparations:
Be sure you have enough help –you should have at least one assistant to help handle the largest
items since the largest component weighs approximately 300 lbs. Three assistants is preferable,
but not necessary.
Be sure you have the proper tools. You’ll need the following tools to unpack and assemble
your lift:
Tool Quantity Required
3/4” combination wrench 2
tin snips or shears 1
knife or box cutter 1
tape measure 25’ or greater 1
needlenose pliers 1
7/16” combination wrench 2
1/2” combination wrench 2
12” adjustable wrench 1
Your Eagle Equipment lift is heavy, and may pose a challenge when it comes time to take it off
the delivery truck. There are two ways of removing the packaged lift from the delivery truck

First method of removal
If you have access to a forklift, the lift may be taken from the delivery truck and unpacked close
to the installation site. The heavy end of the lift will be at the rear of the truck bed –the lift may
be picked up from this end by a forklift and removed from the truck. Remember that the
packaged lift is approximately 16 feet long. The lift may then be unpacked as described below.
Second method of removal
If no forklift is available, the lift may be unpacked on the truck and hand carried piece by piece
to the installation site. A minimum of two people capable of carrying 75 lbs each are required to
unpack the lift. Unpacking the lift on the truck should take no more than one half hour if one or
more assistants are available.
Unpack the lift as close as possible to the location you are installing it. Have scrap wood
available to support the components as they are being unpacked.
Unpacking the lift
Cut the outer banding and remove the cardboard. Don’t throw the cardboard away yet –you’ll
need it later.

Remove the plastic wrap, then cut the banding from the drive-on ramps.
Remove the two drive-on ramps from the packed lift, and place them out of the way –you won’t
need them until the lift is ready for use. (the aluminum ramps shown here are optional)
Remove the two plastic drip shields and set aside. Unbolt the shipping brackets from both ends
of the offside track using two ¾” wrenches.

Remove the offside track. This is a two person end lift –be sure you have enough help. Place
the offside track out of the way, but close to the installation site.
Cut the banding from the columns and then remove the columns –don’t stand them up or lean
them on anything. Lay them flat and out of the way.
Cut the banding from the cardboard parts boxes and remove the parts boxes. The larger box
contains the hydraulic power unit; the smaller box contains hardware.

Remove the burlap bag containing the cables and end stops. Remove the two cross rails. The
cross rails may need to be rolled out of the mainside track in order to free them.
Remove two 1/4” diameter linkage rods, then remove the 1/2” diameter safety lock rod.
Place the packing cardboard you put aside under the mainside track –you’ll need at least two
people to raise each end of the mainside track. Slide the mainside track with shipping bracket
attached over the edge of the truck bed and onto the packing cardboard.
