Carefully examine the packed unit for damage before unpacking. Any claims for damage
should be filed with the freight carrier at delivery. Unbolt the package being careful to
save the bolts and use them to reinstall the top caps after unpacking the lift. Place posts in
bay using dimensions shown in Floor Layout (Figure 1). The bases must be square with
the layout lines as shown. It is recommended that the extensions be mounted to the posts
before standing them up. You will need a considerable amount of help standing up these
posts.
Drilling and Anchoring
A. Drill 3/4” x 5-1/2” (minimum depth) holes in the concrete floor using the holes in the
base plates as guides. Drill the holes perpendicular to the surface, being sure not to
enlarge them by allowing the drill to wobble. Do not ream-out the holes. (See Anchoring
Instructions, Figure 2). Be careful when drilling the holes, the posts can tip over.
B. Blow all of the dust and debris from the holes, then clean around the openings with
a wire brush. A clean hole will improve the prospect of solid anchoring.
c. It is recommended that the lift to be located 10’ – 12’ from the nearest obstruction
in front of the lift and 2’ – 3’ from the nearest obstruction on the sides of the lift.
2. To install Anchor:
A. Assemble the washer and nut onto the anchor bolt with nut just below impact section
of bolt.
B. With a hammer, carefully
tap the anchor bolt into the concrete until the washer is
resting on the base of the column. DO NOT DAMAGE THE NUT OR THREADS!
C. Before tightening the nuts, level and plumb the columns, using the shims provided.
Note
: If more than 1/2” of shims is required to level the post, Do Not Use the
Anchors supplied with this lift. It will be necessary to purchase longer anchors
for your application. The brand of anchor recommended is the Hilti Kwik-Bolt.
D. When columns are level and plumb, tighten the nuts with a Torque Wrench to 150 ft-
lb. If anchors do not tighten to 150 ft-lbs in existing floor, replace concrete under
each post with a 6’ x 6’ x 10” thick pad keyed into and flush with the existing floor.
Concrete must be 3500 PSI minimum.
