LIFT INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The lift mounting is a very important step. Improper mounting or fastening of baseplate can adversely affect lift per-
formance. Although fastening details may vary from one vehicle to the next, these general principles apply:
Be certain that all mounting bolts are properly installed and tightened. Bolts used to fasten baseplate assembly
to vehicle floor must have a minimum strength rating of SAE Grade 5 and be torqued to 28 ft lbs, dry. Recog-
nize that the most important bolts are those along the rear of lift, since these bolts retain the majority of the
load.
Refer
to
Figures 2-3
and
2-7
. Improper torquing sequence of baseplate bolts may result in a warped or bowed
baseplate, which can cause platform to move erratically.
