INSTALLER / OPERATOR
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps makes installation and operation safer, however, it does not take the place of safe
operating practices. Always wear durable work clothing during any installation and/or service activity. Shop aprons or shop
coats may also be worn, however loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves are recommended
to protect technician hands when handling parts. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should
be used by all service personnel to help prevent injury during typical installation and operation activities.
Eye protection is essential during installation and operation activities. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or face
shields are acceptable. Back belts provide support during lifting activities and are also helpful in providing worker protec-
tion. Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing protection if service activity is performed in an enclosed
area or if noise levels are high.

IMPORTANT FLOW DIVIDER INFORMATION
There is a Hydraulic OUT Port on either side of the Flow Divider, and a Hydraulic IN Port on the lower Ports. Depending
on the Flow Divider that came with your Lift, the Ports may be congured di󰀨erently.
Your Lift will not work right if the Flow Divider is installed incorrectly!
If your Flow Divider looks like the graphic below, connect the two Long Hydraulic Hoses to the top OUT Ports, and the
Short Hydraulic Hose connects to the Bottom Left IN Port.
If your Flow Divider looks like the graphic below, the Left side Ports are mislabeled. Do not connect the Short
Hydraulic Hoses to the Top Left Port. Connect the Short Hydraulic Hose connects to the Bottom Left Port, and two
Long Hydraulic Hoses connect to the Top Ports on either side of the Flow Divider.
If your Flow Divider looks like the graphic below, rotate the Flow Divider 180° so that the side with an IN and
OUT Port is on the right side, and then connect the Short Hydraulic Hose to the Lower IN Port; the other end of the
Short Hose connects to the Pressure Port on the right side of the Power Unit..
