and has an operating ambient temperature
range of
41°-104°F (5°-40°C)

1. Lift Location: Use architects plan when available to
locate lift. Fig. 1 shows dimensions of a typical bay layout.
WARNING
DO NOT install this lift in a pit or
depression due to fire or explosion risks. A forklift is
recommended to upright each column during installation.
Note: Installation tip - Upright each column after installing
column extensions, column ties, and overhead brackets.
Check to verify both columns are greased with Tuffoil
Lightning Grease at slider block points of contact inside
the columns (see greasing locations in Fig. 3). If columns
are not greased with Tuffoil Lightning Grease, apply at
greasing locations specified.

2. Lift Setting: 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.

Concrete and Anchoring: Drill (14) 3/4" dia. holes (7 per side) 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.
Run nut down just below
impact section of bolt. Drive
anchor into hole until nut and
washer contact base.
Drill holes using 3/4” carbide
tipped masonry drill bit per
ANSI B212.15-1994 (R2000).
Construction dust collected
per OSHA 29 CFR 1926.1153.

FOUNDATION NOTES:
1. THE FOUNDATIONS HAVEBEENDESIGNED BASEDON APRESUMPTIVE LOAD-BEARING VALUE OF 1500 PSF
PERIBC SECTION 1806. AN INSPECTOR OR SOILS ENGINEERSHALL VERIFY LOAD-BEARING VALUE CAPACITY.
2. FOUNDATIONS SHALL BEARON PROPERLY PREPARED AND COMPACTED SOILS CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING
ROTARY LIFT LOADS.
3. PROTECT EXISTING UTILITIES AND STRUCTURES (OVERHEADOR UNDERGROUND) WITHIN THE WORK
AREA AS WELL AS ANY EXISTING FOUNDATION SYSTEM(S).
4. FOUNDATIONS WERE DESIGNED UTILIZING KBCSECTION 1605 'ALTERNATIVE BASIC LOAD COMBINATIONS'
WITHOUT THE 1/3 INCREASEIN THE ALLOWABLE BEARING PRESSURES DUE TO SHORT-TERM LOADING.
5. FOUNDATIONS SHALL BE PLACED ACCORDING TO THE DEPTHS SHOWN ON THE DRAWINGS. SHOULD SOIL
ENCOUNTERED AT THESEDEPTHS NOT BE APPROVEDBY THE INSPECTOR OR SOILS ENGINEER,
FOUNDATION ELEVATIONS/DIMENSIONS MAY NEEDTO BE MODIFIED BY THE ENGINEER. NOTIFY THE
ENGINEEROF RECORD IF THIS IS THE CASE.
CONCRETE NOTES:
1. CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH -PROVIDE CONCRETE WITH THE FOLLOWING STRENGTHS AT THE
LOCATIONS NOTED. MIX DESIGN, SLUMP, AIR ENTRAINMENT, AGGREGATE SIZE, ETC. SHALL BE IN
CONFORMANCE WITH THE ACI 301, LATESTEDITION.

Fig. 6a
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.
7. IMPORTANT: Using the horse shoe shims provided,
shim each column base until each column is plumb. 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 N774-1Shim). Recheck columns for
plumb. Tighten anchor bolts to an installation torque of 110
ft-lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2” when using
the 5-1/2” long anchors provided with the lift, Fig. 6.
If anchors do not tighten to 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm) installation
torque, replace concrete under each column base. See
Figs. 6a and 6b.
NOTE: FIG. 6a and 6b were taken from drawing SPEC0476.
