INSTALLER / OPERATOR
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment helps makes installation and operation safer, however, it does not take the place of safe
operating practices. Always wear durable work clothing during any installation and/or service activity. Shop aprons or shop
coats may also be worn, however loose fitting clothing should be avoided. Tight fitting leather gloves are recommended
to protect technician hands when handling parts. Sturdy leather work shoes with steel toes and oil resistant soles should
be used by all service personnel to help prevent injury during typical installation and operation activities.
Eye protection is essential during installation and operation activities. Safety glasses with side shields, goggles, or face
shields are acceptable. Back belts provide support during lifting activities and are also helpful in providing worker protec-
tion. Consideration should also be given to the use of hearing protection if service activity is performed in an enclosed
area or if noise levels are high.

STEP 5
SITE LAYOUT
1. Determine the location of where the lift will be installed based on the size of vehicles servicing. The dimensions
shown below are rough guidelines. "Dry-t" the vehicles intended to be serviced in the bay by referring to the ALI
Lifting Point Guide for appropriate lift points before nalizing the column spacing.
2. Once a location is determined, use a carpenters chalk line to layout a grid for the post locations. Keep all dimensions
and squareness within 1/8"or malfunctioning of the lift can occur.
3. After the post locations are properly marked, use a chalk or crayon to make an outline of the columns on the oor at
each location using the post base plates as a template.
4. Double check all dimensions and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
NOTE:
Wide or narrow installation is possible. The lift can be installed at a width that suits the vehicles you will be raising.
You may even choose to install additional anchors at varied column positions for adaptability to multiple vehicle
congurations.
5. Recommended bay dimensions 20'deep and 14'wide.
Sport compacts
105"(2667mm) - 115"(2921mm) Typical

1. Before proceeding, double check location and measurements, make
certain that the base plates of each column are aligned with the chalk/
crayon lines. The concrete must be minimum of 4"(101mm) thick with
a minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi (20 MPa). FOLLOW
PROCEEDURE EXACTLY FOR PROPER FITTING AND ALIGNMENT
OF ANCHORS. (S  
2. Use the squared-up base plate on the column as a guide. Using a
rotary hammer drill with a 7/8" concrete bit, drill out each hole in the
column to the minimum depth of 5". Do not ream the hole or allow the drill
to wobble. When removing the bit be careful not to move the columns.
Having someone secure or stand on the columns can be helpful. Repeat
for all holes on both columns and move the columns out of the way. After
drilling, thoroughly clean hole using a vacuum cleaner or compressed air
and a nylon brush. (S  
3. Set the anchor embedment depth: Fully thread the 5/8"
Setting Tool (sacricial hex bolt) with assembled nut and
washer into the anchor. Set the distance between the top of
the anchor and the bottom of the nut/washer to 5/8".
(S  
4. After setting the nut/spacer, place the anchor into the hole
and hammer downward on the setting tool until the nut and
washer makes contact with the surface of the concrete.
(S  
5. To set the anchor tighten the nut while holding the bolt
head (to assure the anchor does not spin in place) Do not
use an impact wrench for this step. Tighten 3 full turns to
reach an installation torque of 90 ft-lbs.
