Step #7
– Complete Bottom Frame & Post Assembly
Insert the corner blocks of the two remaining leg assemblies into the crossmembers as shown
below, insert short bolts with washers in the holes closest to the posts to keep them in place.
Pull the legs apart slightly and slide the other side frame over the corner blocks and secure
these also with short bolts, washers, and brass lock nuts. Square the frame and tighten all
hardware installed.
Properly Securing a Lift’s Lower Frame
Tighten all fasteners with an air or battery powered high torque impact wrench. It’s important
to tighten the fasteners so the platform tube pulls tight to the corner block. The fastener needs
to slightly crease the tube wall until there is no gap between the tube and the corner block. In
some instances the impact wrench may not have enough torque and it may be necessary to
hand tighten in order to achieve contact with the corner block.
