REQUIRED.
4. Install Body - With the subframe, outriggers,
and pedestal in place, mount body on the
chassis per the service body manufacturer’s
specifi cations.
5. Mount Lift - Be sure the Versalift is well
balanced before lifting it clear of the shipping
skid, ground, truck, etc. Refer to “Lifting a Skid
Mounted Aerial Lift” below. Lift the
Versalift
carefully and set in on top of the pedestal.
Install the twenty-four 3/4” grade 8 fasteners
from inside the pedestal top plate to join the lift
to the pedestal. Torque the bolts as specifi ed
per torque chart in this section. Refer to the
“Pedestal Assembly” drawing in parts and
assemblies section for more details.
Remove all paint and grease from the rotation
bearing mounting surface. Mount the Versalift
using the supplied fasteners. Apply a torque dot
to bolt heads after torquing the bolts as specifi ed
on the torque chart.
NOTICE:
A TORQUE DOT IS APPLIED
TO ALL ROTATION BEARING BOLTS AND
PEDESTAL/SUBFRAME MOUNTING BOLTS TO
INDICATE THESE BOLTS HAVE BEEN TORQUED
PRIOR TO UNIT BEING STABILITY TESTED.
Lifting a Skid Mounted Aerial Lift - The aerial
lift weighs approximately 9400 lbs (4270 kg) as
it sits on the shipping skid. All lifting devices
and hoists must be rated accordingly. We
recommend that the aerial be lifted using two
hoists one at the knuckle end and one near the
turret.

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to the specifi c mounting hardware options in
Parts and Assemblies Section in this manual for lift
installation drawings.
1. Determine Lift Location - See installation
drawings for suggested mounting location.
Locate mounting hardware on the chassis
to determine if there is any interference with
truck frame mounted components. It may be
possible to vary the lift location slightly to avoid
any interference. Check weight distribution, and
swing clearances, before fi nalizing a mounting
position.
2. Install Subframe/Outriggers/Pedestal – The
unit is mounted on a full-length subframe.
The subframe functions as the main structural
connection between the pedestal, the outriggers,
and the chassis. The subframe is shipped as a
kit, and will require welding at installation.
Place the subframe and outriggers on the chassis
frame. It may be necessary to trim the ends of
the subframe to obtain the desired mounting
location. Weld the outriggers, subframe, and
shear plates as indicated on the subframe and
outrigger installation drawings. Fasten the
outrigger/subframe assembly to the chassis
using the hardware provided. Torque the nuts
as specifi ed on the torque chart in this section.
Adding a hole in the rear of the cab or front
bulkhead of the body may be required to access
the outrigger pins.
To install the pedestal, weld in place according
to the installation drawing.
DANGER:
NEVER REUSE SHIPPING
BOLTS WHEN MOUNTING THE VERSALIFT
TO THE PEDESTAL. USED BOLTS MAY FAIL
RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
3. Cut Body Floor - Make the required cutouts in
the service body for the pedestal, outriggers and
subframe as shown on the installation drawings.
