STEP 6
(Installing Powerside Column)
1. Before proceeding, double the check measurements
and make certain that the bases of each Column are
aligned with the chalk line.
2. Using the base plate on the POWERSIDE Column as a
guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete (approximately
4-1/2” deep for 9K models and 6” deep for 12K models)
using a rotary hammer drill and 3/4” concrete drill-bit. To
assure full holding power, do not ream the hole or allow the
drill to wobble. (See Fig. 6.1)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole
making certain that the Column remains aligned with the
chalk line.
4. Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then
tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer rests
against the base plate. Be sure that if shimming is required
that enough threads are left exposed. (See Fig. 6.2)
5. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary
under the base plate so that when the anchor bolts are
tightened, the columns will be plumb. (See Fig. 6.3)
6. If installing the Optional Foot Guards, place foot guards
on left and right side as shown. (See Fig 6.4)
7. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by
securing the nut to the base then turning 3 -5 full turns
clockwise.
DO NOT
use an impact wrench for this
procedure. (See Fig 6.4)
STEP 7
( Installing The OFFSIDE column. )
1. Position the OFFSIDE column at the designated chalk
locations and secure to the floor following the same
procedures as outlined in STEP SIX; Items 1-6.
