Drill the mounting holes, starting at the bottom with
Pillar A and working up the system. In concrete, use
a 10 mm diameter masonry bit. Otherwise use a
dowel and drill a 12 mm hole!. When mounting in
wood, use a standard 6 mm wood drill. Pass the lag
bolt (screw materials like lag bolts, nuts, washers,
etc., are not included in
Lehner-Lifttechnik
delivery-
specification) through a washer, and screw it into the
end of a plug anchor. The anchor can then be
tapped into position using a small hammer. Avoid
spilling dust into the hole.
Check each connection for damage and lightly
grease both ends before joining the tube sections.
Fasten the connection with the splice bolts and nuts
provided.
Check the clearance dimensions. Ensure that the
actual measurements correspond with the clearance
dimensions on the layout drawing.
Remember:
Vertical clearances are measured from
the centreline of the tube (this is also the lower point
of the bracket on the railway) to the stair nose or to
the floor.
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!
Clean any debris from the inside of the tubes.
