ADA Consideration
There are a range of recommended best practices when installing electric vehicle chargers that incorporate ADA
requirements in the charger installation. Such practices include parking space striping, adequate allowance for wheelchair
movement, and bollards to protect the charger.
This equipment has been designed to meet ADA requirements when installed as prescribed in this manual; the prescribed
installation in this manual is also in accordance to the STANDARDS FOR ACCESSIBLE DESIGN for Americans with
Disabilities document.

PLACING CHARGER ON MOUNTING PAD
1. A forklift will be required to move the charger into position. The charger with the crate will
weigh approximately 1050lbs. The charger without the crate weighs approximately 840 lbs.
To lift the charger, use either the forklift cut-out in the lower frame or the lifting eyes at the
top of the charger.
2. Remove the screws that hold the cover plates on the front and back of the base.
3. Before lifting the charger onto the mounting pad, remove the front/back cover plates which
will expose the slotted mounting hole. With the forklift, place the charger in position and
lower it onto the mounting pad while aligning the mounting pad studs with the slotted holes
in the charger base, ensuring that the electrical service also passes through the 4 in. cut-out
in the floor of the charger.
4. Install a large ½ flat washer, followed by a ½ split washer, and then fasten down the
appropriate nut and torque to Hilti specification. Remove the lifting eyes and plug the
threaded holes in the charger enclosure with appropriate fasteners, then seal with silicon.
5. Re-install the side cover plates.
