STEP 3
( Column & Cross Tube Installation )
1. Place a chalk line on the floor according to the floor
plan layout. Pay attention to the Power Unit location.
Locate and stand the Columns at their respective locations.
DO NOT BOLT Columns down at this time. Use caution to
prevent the Columns from falling over. (See Fig. 3.1)
2. To estimate the shim requirements, place a target on
floor at each Column position and record the readings.
Find the highest of the four locations then find the differ-
ence between each of the remaining Columns. This differ-
ence is the estimated amount of shim thickness that will be
required at each Column. (See Fig. 3.2)
Note: The maximum shim thickness recommended by the
factory is no more than 1/2” per Column using shims and
anchors provided with the lift. A maximum shim thickness
of 2” is possible by ordering optional shim plates. Contact
your authorized BendPak Distributor for ordering informa-
tion.
3. Lay the columns down, and slide the Cross Tubes into
the Columns (making sure the Plastic Slide Blocks are still
in position). NOTE: The Sheave Windows should be posi-
tioned inward and adjacent the Power Unit Column. Refer
to the Assembly View illustration on page 8 to ensure the
proper location and orientation of the Cross Tubes and
sheave windows. (See Fig. 3.3)
4. Install the Safety Ladders. Pass the Ladders through the
Column openings and drop down through the Slide Block
guide slots on the Cross Tube until the Ladders come to
rest on the Base Plates. (See Fig. 3.4 - 3.5)
