5. The Columns and Cross Tubes will now be in position
and spaced properly for the Runways.
6. Install the Column TOP CAPS using the M10 X 1.50
X 50 hex bolts, nuts & washers. Install the nut on each
Safety Ladder until 1/2” of threads are exposed and the
ladder is raised at least 1/2” off of the base of the Column.
NOTE: Raise the ladder at least 1/2” off of the base of
the column or damage to the lift will occur.
Be sure to
position the cable hole INWARD. (See Fig. 3.6 -3.7)
STEP 4
(Anchoring The Columns)
1. Before proceeding, double check the measurements and
make certain that the Bases of each Column are square and
aligned with the chalk line. (See Fig. 4.1)
ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
2. Using the Base Plate on each Column as a guide, drill each
anchor hole approximately 4-1/2” deep using a rotary hammer drill
and 3/4” concrete bit.. (See Fig. 4.2)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using
compressed air and/or bristle brush. Make certain that the
Columns remain aligned with the chalk line.
4. Assemble the Washers and Nuts on the Anchors then tap
into each hole with a hammer until the Washer rests against
the Base Plate. Be sure that if shimming is required, enough
threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 4.3)

special regional structural and/or seismic
anchoring requirements specified by any other
agencies and/or codes such as the Uniform
Building Code (UBC) and/or
