To help keep the frame square while assembling,
graduallytighten each bolt a little at a time, and
alternate between each side of the clamp. Torque

The 108" side frame beamsare attached using
(4) 1/2"x4"bolts, (8) flat washersand (4) aluminum
nylock nutson each beam. See fig. 2C.
For ease of assembly, attach the 118"front and rear
frame beamsfirst. Laythe rear corner postsdown and
fasten to the frame beam using (4) 1/2" x4" bolts, (8)
flat washersand (4) nylock nuts. The front frame beam
isattached the same asthe rear but use (2) 1/2"x5"
boltson the bottom holes. Do not tighten the nutson
the 5" boltsat thistime. See Fig 2Band 2C.
Frame beamsare fastened to the corner postsusing
the pre-attached lower clamps. See clamp layout top

there are no kinksin the cable.
Hoist the tube up and insert the end of the ball
screw into the hole in corner post. Insert the
cable from the other end in the corner post slot
and over the pulley.
Attach the cable end of the tube using (2) 3/8"x
6"boltsand (2) 3/8" nylock nuts. The ball screw
end isattached using a 3/8" x6"bolt and 3/8"
nylock nut in the top hole. Do not fasten a bolt

Place the side cradle beamsasshown with holes
on top in the rear. The front cradle beam should
be placed so the cable runsover the top of the
pulleyon the lifting side. See front cable
orientation to the right.

Slide (1) cradle clamp over each end of the front
and rear cradle beams. Place (1) cradle U-clamp
over each side cradle so it isflush with the end.
Attach the rear cradle beam bysliding the cradle
clampsover the cradle U-clamps. Slidea cradle
clamp over each end of the rear cradle beam and
U-clamp. See Fig. 5Band 5D.

Cradle isfastened together using (8) 1/2"x2"
boltsand (8) 1/2"nylock nuts. Allow 1/4" gap
between the side cradle and corner post as
shown in Fig. 5C. Torque to 100 ft/lbs.
Attach the lifting cable clevisto the cradle lift
clamp using a 3/4-16 x2"bolt (fine thread). Make
sure the bolt isseated in the slot of the clamp when
tightening the cable clevis. Insert the 2" sheave
into the cable loop and attach to to cable clevis
