4 CONNECTION DIAGRAM Note: Dry assembly is recommended prior to final installation to insure proper sizing and spacing of all components. Before drilling holes for the Master Control Box, make sure the location is adequate taking into account any possible interference. Make sure that plumbing paste and/or Teflon tape is used on all fittings. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

5 INSTALLATION Step One: Input Shaft The 3/8 thru hole in the gearbox input shaft on the inboard side of the landing gear must be located 3/4" from the end of the shaft as shown. If this distance is longer then the shaft must be cut. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

6 Step Two: Coupler Once the input shaft has been modified as per Step One, slide the 1 coupler over the input shaft as shown. Insert the 3/8-16x2 pin (bolt and Nyloc nut) into the coupler hole to secure it to the input shaft. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

7 Step Three: Mounting Plate Cut plate as required (see examples on Page 8) to allow 1/16 clearance where the plate intersects with a cross member and sub-floor, or any other obstacle. Position the plate between the cross members as shown, with the drive motor attached and the square shaft slid into the coupler. CAUTION: The drive motor, coupler, and input shaft must be perfectly aligned for the system to operate properly. Improper alignment will cause premature wear on the drive motor, coupler, and landing gear bearing. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

8 * If using the optional mounting for Holland landing gear, refer to specific instructions on page 15.

10 Step Four: Motor Shaft Position the square drive shaft of the motor through the clearance hole in the mounting plate and bolt the drive motor to the plate. With the landing gear input shaft in the IN position, slide the motor s square drive shaft into the square hole in the coupler. Leave 3/16 clearance between the coupler and the mounting plate with the landing gear input shaft in the IN position as shown.

11 Step Five: Wing Plate Drill four 1/4 holes through the wing plate as shown, for the mounting rods, located as equally symmetric as possible around the input shaft. Make sure holes are located where they can be easily accessed when fastening mounting rods with nuts and washers. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

12 Step Six: Mounting To Wing Plate Attach four (4) 1/4-20x12 mounting rods to the wing plate, using washers, lock washers, and nuts, as shown. If landing gear is inside mounted, remove 4 screws from gearbox and attach mounting rods to these locations. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

13 Step Seven: Motor Mounting After drilling the four holes and attaching the four (4) 1/4-20x12 mounting rods to the wing plate, drill the motor mounting plate so that the mounting rods can be attached thereby fastening the mounting plate to the wing plate as shown. Note: During this step and throughout the installation, make sure to move the input shaft in and out of high/low gear to insure no binding between the coupler and the drive motor shaft. Prior to final assembly, the square drive motor shaft must be coated with grease. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

14 Step Eight: Remove the crank handle and install the control handle as shown. Refer to the parts checklist on page 3 for handle parts. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

15 Step Nine: Control Mounting To mount Master Control Box, determine its desired location and drill holes, minimum 3 locations, to attach enclosure to wingplate. Step Ten: Connection Air Using the tee fitting, tap into the emergency brake line of trailer. Run section of airline from the tee connection to the input of the Master Control Box (single fitting side). Run two sections of airline from the output of the Master Control Box to the motor, making sure that air supplied to motor will operate the leg up when control valve handle is moved up, and down when control valve handle is moved down. If airline needs to be reversing after connecting, switch connections at quick disconnect fittings on the Master Control Box. Step Eleven: Optional Air Reservoir If using an air reservoir, mount reservoir underneath trailer and connect air from source to reservoir and from reservoir to master control box. A one-way valve at the input to the reservoir is recommended. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

16 Instructions for Holland Optional Mounting For Holland Mark V: 1. Refer to parts checklist on page 3 for the required parts. 2. Attach motor to end plate using the 5/16 hardware provided. 3. Refer to Step Two and Step Four in the installation instructions to position motor appropriately before installation. 4. Use the two side plates and 3/8 hardware to secure end plate to wingplate or gearbox. If landing gear is inside mount, attach the end plates to the gearbox by removing the appropriate gearbox screws and attaching end plates to these locations once motor is properly aligned. For inside mount the end plate is attached to the outside of the bends on the side plates. If landing gear is outside mount, drill holes into wing plate as outlined in Step Five and Step Six in the installation instructions once motor is properly positioned and mount end plate to wing plate using the side plates. For outside mount the end plate is attached to the inside of the bends on the side plates. In both instances the side plates are mounted with the bends toward the inside. 5. Once motor is securely mounted, follow the rest of instruction in the installation instructions. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

17 For Holland-Binkley: 1. Follow installation instruction for Holland Mark V. 2. Use the Binkley adapter to mount side plates to gearbox or wingplate. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

18 Motor Muffler Installation Instructions 1. Before connecting airlines to the motor, slide muffler onto motor with the larger diameter end first. See accompanying photos. 2. Wrap the sound deadening material around the motor exhaust collar tightly. While holding material in place slide muffler forward on motor until the larger diameter section of muffler is securely in place over sound deadening material. 3. Make sure that muffler is not placed too far forward and prevents air to escape from exhaust collar of muffler. The section that holds the sound deadening material should be right over the motor exhaust. 4. Tighten the clamp around muffler to lock it in place and prevent sliding on motor. 5. Tighten the screws on the muffler to hold sound deadening material in place. 6. Reattach the air hoses at rear of motor taking care to match the motor direction. 7. Check sound deadening material every 3 months and replace if needed. Replace every 6 months. Revised May 24, 2006 Patriot Lift Co., LLC, Building 2, Industrial Park, Kingshill, VI Tel:

20 TROUBLESHOOTING 1. Check air supply the system must have a minimum of 90 PSI to insure proper operation. 2. Check that lubricator has been installed properly. Make sure that the side of the lubricator marked with IN is receiving the supply of air. 3. Check that the aluminum motor mounting plate is not hard mounted to trailer. The plate must have some flexibility. 4. Check the condition of the legs and landing gear. If the legs are old and bent they may affect the operation of the lift system. Also, improperly lubricated or rusted gearing inside the landing gear gearbox may affect operation. 5. Check that the motor is properly aligned with the drive shaft of the landing gear. Improper alignment may affect the operation of the lift system and will cause premature wear on the pneumatic motor and gearbox components. 6. Check that the mufflers on the control valve are not clogged. A clogged muffler will impede proper air flow and therefore may affect the operation of the lift system.
