Creating Chalk Line Guides
Create Chalk Line Guides so that the outside edges of all four Post bases fit into the four corners
created by the Chalk Line Guides.
Refer to
Specifications
to determine the
Overall Width
and Outside
Length
values for your Lift.
Note : Do
not
use the
Overall
Length value; this includes the Ramps, which are not taken into
consideration for creating Chalk Line Guides.
Drawing is a top view. Not necessarily to scale. Not all components shown.
To create Chalk Line Guides :
1. Create the Front Chalk Line where you want the Front of the Lift.
Make the Front Chalk Line longer, by 12 inches on each end, than the
Overall Width setting.
2. Create the two side Chalk Lines at 90° angles to the Front Chalk Line and parallel to each other.
Make the side Chalk Lines longer (by 12 inches on each end) than the Outside Length setting.
The Side Chalk Lines must be parallel to each other.
Measure to verify that they are parallel.
3. Create the Rear Chalk Line parallel to the Front Chalk Line. Make the Rear Chalk Line longer than
the
Overall Width
setting for your Lift model.
The Front and Rear Chalk Lines must also be parallel to each other.
Measure to verify that they are parallel .
4. Before moving the Posts into position, measure
diagonally
to make sure the two diagonal
measurements are the same. Do not forget to check the diagonals.
5. When you move the Posts into position, put the outside edges of the bases inside the corners
created by the Chalk Line Guides.
