9. Check all
MAIN SAFETY LOCKS
to make sure
they move freely and spring back to the lock position
when released. Lubricate all
SAFETY PIVOT
points with
WD-40 or equal.
10. Run the lift up and down a few times to ensure that
the locks are engaging uniformly and that the safety
release mechanisms are functioning. Re-adjust if neces-
sary.
STEP 14
(Optional - Anchoring the Posts)
1. Before proceeding, make certain the lift is positioned
with proper clearances around and overhead. (See Fig 14.1)
2. Using the base of the frame as a guide, drill each
anchor hole in the concrete approximately 4” deep using
a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit.
(See Fig 14.2)
3. After drilling the anchor holes, remove the dust thor-
oughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire
brush. (See Fig 14.3)
4. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then
tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer rests
against the base. Be sure that enough threads are left
exposed, if shimming is required. (See Fig. 14.4)
5. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary
around each anchor bolt. (See Fig. 14.5)
