column up from a horizontal position,
lift
it vertically high enough to set it on
the ground .
This can be accomplished with the forklift or with an engine hoist. Wrap your lifting
chain around the column between the bracket of the power unit, and loop the other end
of the chain (bolted together) over the forks of the forklift, or the lift hook of the engine
hoist. If using the forklift, use a heavy “C” clamp on the fork after the chained is looped
on, to keep the chain from sliding off the fork during the lift. Begin to lift the column
slowly, and observe how the column is moving as it rises off the floor. It may
be necessary to reposition the
hoist
chain a few times till you find the optimum point
that will allow the top to move high enough and the column to come into a
nearly vertical position. Be careful if moving the column with an engine hoist, that
sudden weight shifts do not cause the hoist to tip over. Set the column on the
ground and maneuver it around to line up with the position. The column is easier to
maneuver when it is vertical on the ground. If possible, do not remove the
hoist
chain
from the column until you have got the anchor bolts started into the ground.
