3. Using the base plate on the MAIN column as a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately
5
1
/ 2 ” deep using a rotary hammer drill and
3
/ 4 ” concrete drill-bit. To assure full holding power, do not ream
the hole or allow the drill to wobble. (See Anchoring Details on Page 4)
4. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire brush. Make
certain that the column remains aligned with the chalk line during this process.
5. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then tap into each hole with a block of wood or rubber
hammer until the washer rests against the base plate. Be sure that if shimming is required that enough
threads are left exposed.
6. Using a level, check column plumb for every side (Fig. 7). If shimming is required, use supplied shim
stock or 3/4” washers, placing shims as close as possible to the hole locations. This will prevent bending
column bases.
7. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning 2-3 full turns
clockwise. Ensure anchor bolts are tightened to a minimum of 130 ft-lbs. of torque. DO NOT use an
impact wrench for this procedure.
STEP 5: (Installing OFFSIDE COLUMN & OVERHEAD BEAM ASSEMBLY)
NOTE: Install Overhead Beam assembly to top of columns BEFORE drilling anchors for Offside
column. This is to ensure that the Offside column can be properly positioned to be plumb and level.
1. Raise OFFSIDE column and position at the designated chalk locations, ensuring the upright is
pre-installed to the top of the OFFSIDE column.
2. Assemble and mount the Overhead ‘padded’ Shut-Off Bar & Limit Switch assembly to the Overhead
Beam, as shown below in (Fig 8).
NOTE: Ensure to position the Limit Switch Box assembly on the same side as the Power Unit.
