  • Page 23: Preparing For Cable Installation

    The cables and hydraulic cylinder are the heart of your SS7000 Series lift. The cables are responsible for lifting and lowering the lift using a series of pulleys that route the cables to a hydraulic ram under the mainside track.

  • Page 24: Extend The Ram Using Compressed Air (Preferred Method)

    Remove the plastic shipping caps from both ends of the power cylinder. Install fittings to adapt your supply of compressed air to 3/8” NPT vent fitting on end of power cylinder closest to cross rail. (The fittings are not included with your lift). SS7000-22 1-800-336-2776 www.eagleequip.com...
  • Page 25 Install the cable holder on the ram. Install the cable retainer on the ram. Place the 1” washer and nut on the ram. Tighten the nut two to three complete turns on the shaft.

    Install the cable holder and the cable retainer on the end of the power cylinder ram. Place the 1” washer and nut onto the ram. Tighten the nut two to three complete turns on the shaft. Use a come along or winch to extend the ram to approximately 18” from the opposite cross rail. SS7000-24 1-800-336-2776 www.eagleequip.com...

  • Page 27: Measuring The Cables

    Measure your cables, starting at the end of the threaded bolt section to the inside of the button end. Refer to the illustration on the next page and verify that each cable is the proper length. Remember that the different SS7000 models have different cable lengths. SS7000-25 1-800-336-2776 www.eagleequip.com...

  • Page 43: Operating And Maintaining Your New Lift

    New Lift Operation and Maintenance Your Eagle Equipment lift is easy to operate, and needs little maintenance. A quick visual inspection of the lift before operation will ensure that your Eagle Equipment lift provides you with years of reliable and safe service.
  • Page 44 Monthly, or after every 50 hours of operation, apply a light coating of “3 in 1” oil, motor oil, or chain lube to the pulley bushings – there are ten in all. You do not have to disassemble the lift in any way to perform this maintenance. The bushings can be lubricated in place. SS7000-42 1-800-336-2776 www.eagleequip.com...

  • Page 45: Install Drive-On Ramps

    Remember to remove the drive-on ramps and reinstall the wheel stops before raising the lift. The ramps can injure you or cause damage on the way up or down, and are difficult to remove when the lift is raised. SS7000-43 1-800-336-2776 www.eagleequip.com...

  • Page 46: Install Plastic Sheets

    Install Plastic Sheets Install Plastic Sheets Eagle Equipment provides two 18” x 80” plastic sheets with each lift to provide the maximum protection for lift components. However, the sheets are not necessary equipment, and do not have to be fitted. Eagle Equipment recommends leaving the plastic sheets off the underside of the tracks for the first few weeks of operation.

  • Page 47: Installing Lift Options

    Install the casters to the caster frames using four 3/8” x 1 1/2” bolts and lock nuts for each caster. Raise the lift to the lowest safety stop.
