STEP 9
(Anchoring the Ramps)
1. Before proceeding, make certain the lift is positioned
with proper clearances around and overhead.
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 9.1)
3. After drilling the anchor holes, remove the dust thor-
oughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire
brush. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES.
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 if shimming is required,
enough threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 9.2)
5. With the shims and Anchor Bolts in place, tighten nut
three to five turns past finger tight. DO NOT use an impact
wrench for this procedure. (See Fig. 9.3)
STEP 10
(Installing Approach Ramps)
1. With the ramps in the collapsed position, place the
Approach ramps centered with the Left and Right ramp
assemblies making sure there is a 3-3/4” gap in between
each respective ramp assembly and Approach Ramp.
(See Fig 10.1)

BENDPAK LIFTS ARE SUPPLIED WITH INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS AND CONCRETE FASTENERS MEET-
ING THE CRITERIA AS PRESCRIBED BY THE AMERI-
CAN NATIONAL STANDARD "AUTOMOTIVE LIFTS
- SAFETY REqUIREMENTS FOR CONSTRUCTION,
TESTING, AND VALIDATION" ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006.

NOTE:
A LEVEL FLOOR IS SUGGESTED FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION. SMALL DIFFERENCES IN FLOOR
SLOPE MAY BE COMPENSATED FOR BY PROPER
SHIMMING. ANY MAjOR SLOPE DIFFERENCES
WILL AFFECT LEVEL LIFTING. IF A FLOOR 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.

WARNING!
WHERE IT IS DESIRED TO RAISE THE BASE OF THE
LIFT TO ACHIEVE LEVEL, THE ENTIRE FOOTPRINT
OF THE BASE FRAME MUST BE FULLY SUPPORTED
