STEP 4 (Site Layout)
1. Determine which side of the lift will be the approach side.
2. Now decide where the power unit will be located. The POWER SIDE column has the power unit mounting bracket
attached to the side.
3. Once a location is determined, use a carpenters chalk line to layout a grid for the post locations. Keep all
dimensions square within 1/8” (3mm) or malfunctioning of the lift can occur.
4. After the post locations are properly marked, use chalk or crayon to make an outline of the posts on the floor at
each post location using the post base plates as a template.(See Fig 4.1)
5. CHECK ALL DIMENSIONS TWICE and make sure that the layout is perfectly square.
STEP 5 (Installing the POWER SIDE post)
1. Before proceeding, double the check measurements and
make certain that the base plate of each post is aligned
with the chalk line.
2. Using the base plate on the POWER SIDE post as a guide,
drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately 4” deep
using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit. To
ensure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow
the drill to wobble. (See Fig. 5.1)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole
making certain that the posts remain aligned with the
chalk line.
4. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then
tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer
rests against the base plate. If shimming is required be
sure that enough threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 5.2)

5. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary
under the base plate so that when the anchor bolts are
tightened, the posts will be plumb. (See Fig. 5.3)
6. With the foot guards, shims and anchor bolts in place,
tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning 3-5
full turns clockwise. DO NOT use an impact wrench for
this procedure. (See Fig. 5.4)
STEP 6 (Installing the OFF SIDE post)
Position the OFF SIDE post at the designated chalk locations and secure post to floor following the same procedures
as outlined in STEP 5; Paragraphs 1-6.
