Final Leveling
Before operating your Lift, you need to make sure that both the Lift posts and the Lift arms are level:
•
Lift Posts : The Posts
must
be the same distance apart at the top and at the bottom.
To make sure the Posts are level, measure the distance between the two Posts six inches below
the Top Trough and one foot off the ground (you will need to move the Lift Arms out of the way).
The two measurements (
A
and
B
in the drawing below) must be the same.
If the Posts are not level, shim them as required.
• Lift Arms : When the Lift Posts are level, make sure the Lift Arms are level as well. To make sure
they are level, raise them to the first locking position and put a level on the pads.
Torqueing the Anchor Bolts
Make sure all Anchor Bolts are correctly torqued.
Torque the Nut of each Anchor Bolt
clockwise to the recommended installation torque,
85 – 95 pound feet, using a Torque Wrench.
Important : Do
not
use an impact wrench to torque the Anchor Bolts.
Torqueing the Nut forces the Wedge up, pushing out the Expansion Sleeve and pressing it tightly
against the Concrete.
