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

E Ea ag gl le e E Eq qu ui ip pm me en nt t S SS S7 70 00 00 0 S Se er ri ie es s L Li if ft ts s
1-800-336-2776 SS7000-5www.eagleequip.com
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.

1-800-336-2776 SS7000-6www.eagleequip.com
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.

1-800-336-2776 SS7000-7www.eagleequip.com
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.

1-800-336-2776 SS7000-8www.eagleequip.com
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.

1-800-336-2776 SS7000-9www.eagleequip.com
Remove the bolts from the front shipping bracket and remove the bracket. The bracket is heavy
–do not let the bracket fall when removing the bolts.Discard the brackets after removal.
Pull the end of the mainside track out of the truck and onto the ground. The mainside track
weighs in excess of 300 lbs. –you need at least two people capable of lifting 75 lbs each to lift
the track end. The edges may be sharp –wear heavy work gloves.
Remove the two bolts holding the rear shipping bracket to the mainside track, and remove the
bracket. Discard the shipping bracket.

1-800-336-2776 SS7000-10 www.eagleequip.com
Remove the mainside track from the delivery truck. The mainside track weighs more than 300
pounds –walk it into location end by end if there’s just you and an assistant, or carry it if you
have four people available.
Remove the power unit from the large cardboard box –cut straps and remove all packing
materials from power unit. Remove any remaining packing materials and straps from the
mainside track. Open the small cardboard parts box , empty the burlap bag, and arrange the
components of your lift so that every part is visible and easy to identify. Make sure you have
your packing list.
Inventory your lift at this time. Pay attention to optional components your may have ordered
with your lift. Some parts come in different lengths, depending on the model -check the part
you have, and then double check that you have the right part for the right model.

The Major Components Of
Your New Lift
Before you get started assembling your new lift, let’s take a moment and become familiar with
some of the major components. Becoming familiar with the major components of the lift will
make the assembly task quicker and easier.

Let’s Assemble Your New Lift
Assembling Your Lift
Now that you have your lift unpacked close to the installation site, you may begin assembly.
While most assembly procedures may be done by one or two people, remember that you are
going to have to lift the heavy components into position –and you’ll still need at least two
people capable of carrying 75 pounds each to do so.
In the following assembly sequence, an older style of column was used to clearly illustrate the
safety stops. Current production lift columns have column stop blocks with a safety cover
installed. This safety feature lessens the risk of catching a finger or clothing in the stop blocks.
Positioning and Assembling the Columns
Position the columns according to the floor plan on the following page. Lay down rear columns
(L and R designations or labels do not indicate left or right positions during layout. Check your
lift floor plan before positioning the columns, and then check it again after you’ve positioned
them –the assembled columns are heavy and difficult to move.)

Floor Plan For Initial Column Positioning

1-800-336-2776 SS7000-16 www.eagleequip.com
Position the cross rail at the top of the two columns. Install the cross rail in the column tops by
inserting the plastic guide blocks in the column channel (Make sure the safety locks are
positioned with bevel side up, and with safety locks facing towards the outside of the lift).
Using two people, lift the safety locks and pull the cross rail down evenly to the lowest stop
block. Keep your fingers out of the track –the safety locks aren’t heavily loaded, but you can
still get your fingers pinched.

1-800-336-2776 SS7000-17 www.eagleequip.com
Repeat the procedure for the remaining columns and cross rail. When you have completed
assembling the columns and cross rails and are ready to go on to the next step, stand the
assembled columns up in the positions indicated on the floor plan. Position the two column
assemblies 170 1/2” apart for the SS7000N and the SS7000; 190” apart for the SS7000XLT.
Measure the distance from the outside of the column baseplates, so that the measurement
includes the column baseplates.

Install the Tracks
At this time you have to decide where you want to place the power unit –your lift controls are on
it. The power unit can be mounted to either column marked “R”, with the power unit mounting
bracket placed at the driver’s side front or passenger’s side rear. The mainside track will be
installed on the same side, with the power cylinder closest to where you will mount the power
unit. Position the mainside track and the offside track outside of the columns.
With an assistant, pick up and place one end of the mainside track in location on the crossrail,
and then pick up and place the other end on the opposite crossrail (if you have three assistants,
place both ends at the same time). Use a large screwdriver or aligning punch to align the
mounting holes in the cross rails with the mounting holes in the track.
WARNING!
Do not leave the tracks unbolted –install the mounting bolts immediately!
