PREPARATION
VPL400-X: SECTION 3
SITE PREPARATION
•
Review and confirm the power requirements for
power supply and disconnect per NFPA 70.
• In preparation for receiving the lift for
installation a final site inspection must be
completed to ensure the mounting surface
for the lift complies or exceeds Harmar’s
recommendation for the concrete slab. The size
of the concrete slab must be large enough for
the lift and the approach for the mobility device.
•
If there was a blueprint created for the project,
check that all work matches the blueprint.
Running clearance measurements should be
double checked for the platform and fascia,
guard panels and wall/barrier, and the platform
top landing and overhead clearance. Ensure
there are no pinch points.
• If doors are supplied by others check that they
meet Safety standard ASME A18.1-2020, flush
mount doors are required. If other non Harmar
supplied equipment (interlocks) are going to
be used, check compatibility with Harmar
equipment.
•
The front tower panel and the top cover must be
removed before any power, gate/door, call send
connection can be made.
CONCRETE
•
Concrete pad should be no less than 4
"
thick,
3500 PSI reinforced, and must be level. The size
of the concrete pad may vary depending on the
size of the VPL footprint. Concrete at the bottom
approach to the VPL must be large enough
to turn a mobility device around. Pay close
attention to the slope of existing concrete where
the VPL is going to be installed. Existing concrete
on the exterior of a house or building are
normally sloped to shed water. The normal slope
is about 1/8
"
-1/4
"
per foot to provide adequate
drainage. Steel shims should be used to level the
tower when the existing concrete has a normal
slope. If the existing concrete has greater slope
than 1/4
"
per foot, it should be reworked and
leveled before installing the VPL.
Wood shims should never be used on either inside or
outside applications.
CAUTION !
NOTE: Do not shim more than 7/8 ".
• Harmar recommends securing the lift using
our Anchor Kit
NOTE: DO NOT install on brick, landscape paver or asphalt
surface.
MATERIAL HANDLING
Do not lift unit from bottom of the platform. This will
cause damage to the safety systems.
CAUTION !
• It may be necessary to move the VPL around
once it’s on the job site. Extra material handling
equipment such as manual carts, a pallet jack,
fork lift, and/or crane may be needed. There
may be times when VPL will have to be moved
by manpower. All tower panels can be removed
to reduce the weight of the tower. Care should
be taken not to scratch or damage panels when
removing, carrying, and reinstalling them.
•
Special care must be taken to protect any
landscaping or flooring surfaces that might
be damaged by the uses of material handling
equipment.
