7a. Overhead Assembly: Fig. 11: Adjust overhead to
appropriate dimension. Install (4) 3/8”-16NC x 3/4” HHCS &
3/8”-16NC Flanged Locknuts, do not tighten. Slide Switch
Box over switch bar ensuring knock out holes face the
power unit column, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8. Use (2) 1/4”-20NC x
3/4” lg. HHCS, 1/4”-20NC Nuts and 1/4” Star Washers to
mount switch box to overhead, see Fig. 11. For SPOA10
Extra Narrow Bay Setting installation, see step 7b, all
others go to step 7c.
7b. For Extra Narrow Bay installation only: Cut off 11”
(279mm) from the length of the bar and cushion on the end
opposite the 1/4” mounting hole(s). Continue to step 7c.
7c. Continued Overhead Assembly:
For single phase and three phase lifts with push button
control box: Insert 1/4”-20NC x 2-3/4” HHCS through
pivot hole in end of switch bar. Insert opposite end of bar
through slot in switch mounting bracket. Then secure

Fig. 5
Non-Seismic Lifts:
Drill (10) 3/4” dia. holes in concrete floor using holes in
column base plate as a guide. See Fig. 4 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.
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 FA5112 Shim Kit or FA5208 for seismic
lift shims). Recheck columns for plumb. Tighten anchor
bolts to an installation torque of 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm). Shim
thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2” (13mm) when using the
5-1/2” (140mm) long anchors provided with the standard
lifts, Fig. 5. Adjust the column extensions plumb.
If anchors do not tighten to 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm) installation
torque, replace concrete under each column base with a
4’ x 4’ x 6” (1219 x 1219 x 152mm) thick 3000 PSI (20684 kPa)
minimum concrete pad keyed under and flush with the top
of existing floor. Let concrete cure before installing lifts
and anchors. For seismic lifts, contact customer service.

Install and hand tighten Branch Tee to pump until O-ring is
seated. Continue to tighten the locknut to 10-15 ft-lbs (14-
20 Nm), or until the nut and washer bottom out against the
pump manifold. NOTE: You may still be able to rotate the
Branch Tee. This is acceptable unless there is seepage at
the O-ring. If so, slightly tighten the locknut.
CAUTION
Over tightening locknut may tear O-ring or
distort threads in pump manifold outlet.
10. Hoses: Clean adapters and hose. Inspect all threads
for damage and hose ends to be sure they are crimped,
Fig. 10. Install hose and hose clamps, Fig. 12 & Fig. 16.
Flared Fittings Tightening Procedure
1. Screw the fittings together finger tight. Then, using the
proper size wrench, rotate the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats.
IMPORTANT
Flare seat MUST NOT rotate when
tightening. Only the nut should turn.
2. Back the fitting off one full turn.
3. Again tighten the fittings finger tight; then using a
wrench, rotate the fitting 2-1/2 hex flats. This will
complete the tightening procedure and develop a
pressure tight seal.
CAUTION
Overtightening will damage fitting resulting
in fluid leakage.
