Installation Tip:
The clearance dimension at the lower landing is often 42 mm from the
centreline to the bottom. You can therefore use a shim to support the tube at the lower
landing.
•
Install the rest of the pillars if you are installing a pillar mounted lift. Remember to check
the pillar numbers with those shown on the tube layout drawing.
•
Clean any debris from the inside of the tubes.
•
With the tubes in position, check all splice connections for alignment. Note that the
proper fit of the splices is critical to ensure smooth lift operation. When fixing the lift in
place, smooth out any misalignment using shims behind the mounting struts.
•
On longer lifts some discrepancies may occur. Try to average them out while making a
final check for landing clearances, splice alignment and fit.
•
With the system in place, check that all struts and support pillars are plumb. Use a water
level for this work!
•
Note that when a lift is supplied with distances that must be located in core-drilled holes,
it will be necessary to mark the holes and remove the tubes for core drilling at this stage.
The lift can then be relocated for installation.
