1. Lift Location: Use architects plan when available to
locate lift. Fig. 1 shows dimensions of a typical bay
layout.
2. Lift Height: See Fig. 4 for overall lift height of each
specific lift model. Add 25.4mm min. to overall height
to lowest obstruction.
DO NOT install this lift in a pit or
depression due to fire or explosion risks.
3. Lift Setting: Using a block and tackle (or similar
device that increases mechanical advantage), stand
the columns up. Position columns in bay using
dimensions shown in Fig.1. Place column with power
unit mounting bracket on vehicle passenger side of
lift. Both column base plate backs must be square
on center line of lift. Notches are cut into each base
plate to indicate center line of lift.
Use appropriate equipment to raise carriage to first
latch position. Be sure locking latch is securely
engaged.
A) Concrete Thickness & Hole Depth (220mm)
B) Edge Distance (120mm)
C) Hole Spacing (165mm)
4. Concrete and Anchoring: Concrete shall have a
compression strength of at least 20.68 N/mm² and a
minimum thickness of 108mm in order to achieve a
minimum anchor embedment of 83mm. When using
the standard supplied 3/4” x 5-1/2” lg. anchors, if the
top of the anchor exceeds 57mm above the floor
grade, you DO NOT have enough embedment.
Drill (18) 19mm dia., Fig. 2 holes in concrete floor using
holes in column base plate as a guide. See diagrams
for hole depth, hole spacing, and edge distance
requirements.
CAUTION DO NOT install on asphalt or other
similar unstable surfaces. Columns are supported only by
anchors in floor.

NOTE: If more than 2 horse shoe shims are used at any of
the column anchor bolts, pack non-shrink grout under the
unsupported area of the column base. Insure shims are
held tightly between the baseplate and floor after torquing
anchors.

IMPORTANT Using the horse shoe shims provided,
shim each column base until each column is plumb, Fig.
3. If one column has to be elevated to match the plane
of the other column, full size base shim plates should be
used (Reference Shim Kit). Recheck columns for plumb.
Tighten anchor bolts to an installation torque of 203.4 Nm.
Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 13mm when using the
140mm long anchors provided with the lift.
If anchors do not tighten to 203.4 Nm. installation torque,
replace concrete under each column base with a 1219mm
x 1219mm x 152mm thick 20.68 Nmm² minimum concrete
pad keyed under and flush with the top of existing floor.
Let concrete cure before installing lifts and anchors.
