•Please carefully remove all the parts from the package.
•Use a concrete rotary hammer drill with 3/4” drill bit. Do not use excessively
worn or incorrectly sharpened drill bits.
•Keep the drill in a vertical position when drilling. Do not apply excessive
pressure and let the drill do the work. Try to lift the drill up sporadically and
clean residue in the hole. Power blow dust from the hole for better holding.
•Drill the holes 1.25" deeper than the length of the anchor bolts. Try to drill
through the concrete so that when you move the lift to a new location, you may
hammer down the anchor bolts instead of cutting them off.
•Assemble the washers and nuts onto the anchor bolts. Thread the nuts onto
the anchor bolts where the tops of the nuts are just above the top of the bolts,
as shown in figure below. Using a hammer, carefully tap the anchor bolts into
the concrete until the washer rests against the baseplate. Do not damage the
nuts or threads. Try not to use an impact wrench to tighten the nut. Tighten the
nut two or three turns after the concrete is cured (30-day minimum cure). In
case where the concrete is very hard, tighten only one or two turns.
Check the following diagram for the footprint of columns with anchor bolts
positions.

•Drill the anchor holes only for one post with 3/4-inch drill bit into concrete
following Anchoring guideline under the anchoring guideline section.
•Place the floor plate between posts and make sure it sits properly between the
posts. This will insure the proper spacing between posts.
•Drill the anchor holes for second post with 3/4-inch drill bit into concrete
following Anchoring guideline under the anchoring guideline section.
•Use a leveler to check the level of each base plate. Place shims under the base
plate as needed.
•Tighten all the anchor bolts and recheck for level.
•Hammer down the anchor bolts all the way and then tighten them using a
torque wrench. Avoid using impact wrench when tightening the anchor bolts.
Step 3.
•Now remove the floor plate cover.
•Raise the sliding carriage on each column to the height about 23” to 32”, then
drop it to the safety latch stops and make sure it will not fall again.
•Run the cables as shown below.
