Step #5 –Attach Front & Rear Frame Crossmembers
Using the chart, locate the correct length tubes for crossmembers. With the unit still laying on
it’s side, slide the crossmembers over the other corner block leg and insert the short bolt with a
washer into the hole closest to the post and secure on the bottom with a flat washer and brass
lock nut. DO NOT TIGHTEN.
Step #6 –Complete Frame Corner Assembly
Flip the entire assembly upright onto the base pads.
Locate the long bolts and the bottom corner cable bracket. Insert the long bolt with a flat
washer thru the second hole from the post, thru the frame tubes and then thru the corner cable
bracket on the bottom as shown. Secure with a flat washer and brass lock nut. Do not tighten.
Note: The leg bundle for the
SSV150144HSDW has stops welded to
the leg tubes and should be used at this
time.

Step #7 –Complete Bottom Frame & Post Assembly
Insert the corner blocks of the two remaining leg assemblies into the crossmembers as shown
below, insert short bolts with washers in the holes closest to the posts to keep them in place.
Pull the legs apart slightly and slide the other side frame over the corner blocks and secure
these also with short bolts, washers, and brass lock nuts. Square the frame and tighten all
hardware installed.
Properly Securing a Lift’s Lower Frame
Tighten all fasteners with an air or battery powered high torque impact wrench. It’s important
to tighten the fasteners so the platform tube pulls tight to the corner block. The fastener needs
to slightly crease the tube wall until there is no gap between the tube and the corner block. In
some instances the impact wrench may not have enough torque and it may be necessary to
hand tighten in order to achieve contact with the corner block.

Step #8A –Assemble the Lift Platform for 4000#, 5000#, and 6000#
Lay the V-Shaped cradle tubes across the lower frame as shown (4000, 5000, and 6000lb).
Place the end with the lift cable threaded out the bottom on the same side as the corner cable
brackets.
For the 4000, 5000, and 6000 lb. models insert a carriage bolt into the corner guide as shown
and slide the head into the top slot in the cradle tube. Secure corner guide with a flat washer
and lock nut. Do the same on the other three corners. Slide two carriage bolts into the top slot

and 2 into the bottom slot on the inside of the cradle tube. Using those bolts, mount a pair of
side rail brackets on each end of the cradle tube as shown above. Position the outer edge of
the brackets at least 3 inches from the end of the cradle tube. It is important to keep this
distance equal on all four corners to keep it square. Do not tighten at this time.
Insert the platform rails into the space between the mounting brackets and between the v-
frames and secure with bolts, washers and nuts as shown.
Step #8B –Assemble the Lift Platform for 8000# - 15000#
The cradle tubes on all the lifts above 8000# have galvanized steel cradle tubes with different
attaching system. They also use the plastic (plastic and aluminum) ring style corner guides.
Lay the galvanized cradle tubes on the bottom frame with the end with the cables coming out
the bottom on the same side as the corner cable brackets. Slide the corner guides over the
post and attach as shown.
Place the platform side rails between the welded brackets on the cradle tube and attach as
illustrated above (use the same fasteners as used for the aluminum cradle tube on the 4000# -
6000# lifts illustrated above).

The following picture shows the position of the level cable as it comes over the pulley in the
cradle tube and out the bottom to go to the cable mounting bar attached to the corner of the
lower frame. Note the other two holes on the end of the cradle tube. These will be used later to
attach the cables coming from the bottom of the lift tube.
Step #9 –Attach the Level Cable
Attach the level cable as shown inserting the cable into the hole closest to the sideframe and
securing with a flat washer and 2 brass hex nuts (see chart on page 12 for hardware sizes).
The first nut will be run to the bottom of the threads and the second run down and secured
tightly against the first. Repeat on other level cable.

Step #10 –Install the Side Spacer Brace Tube
The side spacer brace tube is located opposite the lift tube so install it on the posts opposite
the corner cable brackets. The 4000#, 5000#, & 6000# lifts use a drop side brace tube and the
8000# thru 15000# lifts use a straight side brace tube. Locate the appropriate brackets and
hardware from the illustrations below. Mount the spacer tube to the post as shown, keeping the
lock nuts on the outside. Adjust brackets on both sides to the height indicated by the chart on
page 14 and tighten all fasteners securely.
