Grease Recommendation
The LINEAR–LIFTTM is fully greased at the factory. However, for maximum life,
Chore-Time strongly recommends greasing the Linear LiftTM 800 at each grease fitting
monthly. For best results apply grease through grease fitting while Linear LiftTM 800
is in operation to put an even coating of grease over the entire length of the Threaded
Shaft.
Recommended Grease: Sunoco Construction Grease or Mobile CMP Grease
(available through Grainger) or similar water-resistant with moly, extreme pressure
(E.P.) grease. See Figure 9.
IMPORTANT: Grease monthly for maximum life.

Linear LiftTM 800 Switch Adjustment

The Linear LiftTM 800 has adjustable stops (Set Collars) that may be moved to
accommodate a variety of inlet opening lengths.

A 1/8" Allen wench is required to loosen the set screw on the Set Collar
(see Item 2 below). Slide the Set Collar(s) on the Switch Rod allow for the maximum
inlet opening travel (see Item 4 below).

Figure 10 shows the maximum travel settings (at a 1:1 ratio) of the
