STEP THREE
( Anchoring The Lift Frames )
1. The lift can be installed with the BOLSTER BAR ( the
round bar connecting the frames together ) located either at
the front or rear. Typical installations place the Bolster Bar
at the rear to allow for unobstructed work space underneath
the engine compartment and to allow for rolling oil drains or
other shop equipment. (See Fig. 3.1)
2. Before proceeding, make certain the lift is positioned
with clearances around and overhead. THE POWER UNIT
CAN BE PLACED ON EITHER SIDE.
IMPORTANT NOTE
A level
fl
oor is suggested for proper installation. Small dif-
ferences in
fl
oor slope may be compensated for by proper
shimming. Any major slope changes will affect the units
level lifting performance. If a
fl
oor is of questionable slope,
( more than 1" side to side or 2" within the full length of the
lift ) consider pouring a new concrete slab.
3. Lift the ramp covers at the ends of each lift unit. This
will give you access to the eight anchor bolt locations.
(See Fig. 3.2)
4. Using the Base of the frame as a guide, drill each
anchor hole in the concrete approximately 4-1/2” deep
using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit. Do
not ream the hole or allow the drill to wobble.
(See Fig. 3.3)
5. After drilling the anchor holes, remove the dust
thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or
wire brush. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.
6. 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 if shimming is required,
enough threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 3.4)
7. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary
around each anchor bolts. (See Fig. 3.5
8. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten to
approximately 40 ft.-lbs.
DO NOT
use an impact wrench for
this procedure. (See Fig. 3.6)
