Let's start with the first tower of the bottom.

Now the second tower of the bottom

The last part of the bottom ;-)

An important part of the lift...

Watch out to the wheel's position !!!

You can make it higher if you want to make a bigger lift. Don't forget to make the chain longer :-)

Here is the beast ^^

This step is looking exactly like the previous, but watch out ! Everything is reversed !!!

almost there...

You finished the hardest part :-)

Be careful, the 2 chain must be exactly in the same position !!!

Do some test to ajust the wire's length :-)

If something went wrong, be sure that everything is well attached and that you don't missed anything in the instructions.

Big thanks to Austron :-D (original author of this lift)
