FIGURE 2-9: BUS BASEPLATE HOLES
CAUTION
Before drilling holes, verify that underlying wires and tubing will not be damaged.

Lift:
1) Insert ten 101mm (4 in.) x 9mm (3/8 in.) carriage bolts through baseplate and vehicle floor.
2) Refer
to
Figure 2-9
. Install five clamping bars on bolts underneath vehicle floor (across baseplate), i.e.,
from 1 to 6, 2 to 7, etc, and secure lift to vehicle floor with 9mm (3/8 in.) washers, lock washers and
hex-nuts.
3) Use care when tightening carriage screws to prevent baseplate warpage. If baseplate assembly warps,
vertical arms will not be parallel. Make corrections by shimming at appropriate locations. To help pre-
vent warping, torque the eight carriage bolts to 40 N-m (28 ft. lbs.) in the following sequence:
3, 8, 2, 4, 7, 9, 1, 5, 6, 10
NOTE:
Vertical arms must be parallel for proper operation. Adjust bolts as required. Best results are obtained
when lift is mounted on plywood. Shims, although best avoided, may be used if required.
