5.8 U-Ring Stacking Instructions
Pow'r-Riser U-Rings (optional accessories) allow positive
mechanical load holding of a lifted load. The U-Rings are placed
on top of the cylinder housing and around the extended cylinder
rod. They are available in five different lengths for each Pow'r-
Riser model.
To help ensure proper alignment and installation, the top surface
of the cylinder housing and the top surface of each U-Ring
contains a raised locator. The bottom surface of each U-Ring
contains a mating recess.
The U-Rings are made of steel and aluminum. A steel U-Ring
must always be positioned at the top and bottom ends of the
U-Ring stack. The aluminum U-Rings must always be located
in the middle of the stack, between the two steel U-Rings. This
stacking arrangement helps prevent damage to the aluminum
U-Rings.
CAUTION: Never position an aluminum U-Ring at the
top or bottom end of the U-Ring stack.
Install U-Rings as described in the following steps:
1.
Using the jack, raise the load to the desired lifting height.
Refer to the instructions in Section 5.5 of this manual.
2.
Place one steel U-Ring on top of the cylinder housing,
around the extended cylinder rod.
3.
As required, place one or more aluminum U-Rings on top
of the steel U-Ring, around the extended cylinder rod.
The quantity of aluminum U-Rings to be installed will vary,
depending on jack model, lifting height and the U-Ring set
being used. Refer to Table 7 for additional information.
4.
Place a second steel U-Ring at the top of the U-Ring stack.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the arrow on each U-Ring is pointing up.
Be sure all locators are fully engaged in the mating recesses of
the U-Rings.
WARNING: Pinch point hazard: In the following step,
keep hands and fingers clear of area between load
support ring and top of U-Ring stack.
5.
Slowly lower the cylinder rod until the weight of the load
is supported by the U-Rings. Refer to the information in
Section 5.5 for jack operating instructions.
IMPORTANT: Follow all applicable work rules and regulations
in effect at your facility or worksite. The use of auxiliary stands,
blocking or other additional load supports may be required even
when U-Rings are installed.
