Overhead Two Post Lift AL-100RH User’s Manual
●
Anchors must be at least 6” from the edge of the slab
or any seam.
●
Use a concrete hammer drill with a carbide tip, solid
drill bit the same diameter as the anchor, 3/4”. (.775
to .787 inches diameter). Do not use excessively worn
bits or bits which have been incorrectly sharpened.
●
Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling.
●
Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive
pressure. Lift the drill up and down occasionally to
remove residue to reduce binding.
●
Drill the hole to depth equal to the length of anchor.
●
For better holding power blow dust from the hole.
●
Place a flat washer and hex nut over threaded end of
anchor, leaving approximately 1/2 inch of thread
exposed carefully tap anchor. Do not damage threads.
Tap anchor into the concrete until nut and flat washer
are against base plate. Do not use an impact wrench to
tighten. Tighten the nut, two or three turns on average
concrete (28-day cure). If the concrete is very hard
only one or two turns may be required. Check each
anchor bolt with torque wrench set to 120-foot pounds.
3.3 INSTALLATION PRECEDURE
PLEASE
READ
THIS
INSTRUCTION
BEFORE STARTING TO OPERATE THE LIFT.
Check for ceiling clearance first to confirm the
lift can be set up in your bay.
STEP 1:
After unloading the lift, place it near the
intended
installation location.
STEP 2:
Remove the shipping bands and packing
materials from the unit.
STEP 3:
Open the wrapping from the upper column
and
carefully remove the parts from inside. Remove the
packing brackets and bolts holding the two columns
together (do not discard bolts, they are used in the assembly
of the lift)
STEP 4:
Position the columns facing each other 107-1/4”
inside base plates Square the columns by measuring
diagonally from corner points on base plates (within 1/4”).
STEP 5:
Using a 3/4" concrete drill, drill the anchor
holes
in the main side column, installing anchors as you go. Use
a block of wood or rubber mallet to drive anchor bolts in.
Drill to a minimum depth of 4" to insure maximum holding
power. Drilling thru concrete (recommended) will allow
the anchor to be driven thru the bottom if the anchor needs
to be replaced later.
STEP 6:
Using a level, check column for side-to-side
plumb and front-to-back plumb. If needed, use horseshoe
shims provided by placing shims underneath the base plate
and around the anchor bolt. This will prevent bending the
column bottom plates (Shim thickness should not exceed
1/2”). Tighten anchor bolts to 120 ft-lbs.
STEP 7:
Install the overhead cross beam. Be sur e to
bolt
them together by installing the bolts from inside the cross
beam out. This is to avoid interference with the cable when
operating the lift. Next, install the cross beam between two
columns.
STEP 8:
After fastening the cross beam, check and
confirm that the remaining column is plumb.
STEP 9:
Secure the remaining column by duplicating
STEP 6 and STEP 7.
STEP 10:
Install the safety latch on both side columns.
Connect the safety release cable
between two latches.
