Mohawk A7 install help!

[Mr.A]

I need help with a lift install. I just picked up a very nice Mohawk A7 lift used off Craigslist. It was taken down when I picked it up and I was wondering the routing of the 2 hydraulic lines that run across the top. They look like they are the same length and fitting and could be mixed up. If someone has an A7 could you give me a pic or explanation of the connection?
Thanks, Ron

I can post picture tomorrow... As I recall the vertical lengths differ so it is not possible to mix them up.

This is what I have, the clip is mssing form the right side, non controll side. So the lines on the left side can reach either line.

Shoot me a pm if you are still stuck tomorrow... Can't get to the shop tonight

When I put mine in - also used - I wondered how the lines went in, but somehow when I went to do it, they would only go in the correct way.

Top of cylinder on off side goes to base on pump side. Let me know if you need more.

Just so you know, you CAN use regular hydraulic line from a parts store--I talked to Mohawk about this for my lift and they said it's fine. Stainless is expensive and hard to source, unless you pay an arm and a leg from Mohawk.

Thanks, I think i have it. Just picked up a hammer drill and 3/4wegits. just need to bolt it down and juice it up. Any idea how much fluid it will hold?? Dextron 3? Thanks, Ron
