Anchoring the Lift
Anchors
Harmar recommends securing the lift using
the concrete anchors provided. If you
purchase you own floor anchors they must be
3/8” minimum of sufficient length.
All four
floor anchors must be installed correctly
in accordance to their instructions.
Step 1
• Position the lift in its final location.
• Verify that it is level and perpendicular to its
surroundings and all running clearances are
the proper dimension.
• Shim if necessary.
Step 2
Use the lift’s base as a template. Drill 4 holes
into the concrete making sure that the holes
are deep enough to accept the anchors.
Tip: Concrete dust may have settled into
the holes you just drilled. Use a shop
vacuum to clean out these holes. This will
ensure the floor anchors set correctly.
Step 3
Secure the lift in place by tightening the floor
anchor bolts.
Step 4 (800 or taller models)
Taller lifts must have the top of the lift
tower anchored into a solid surface to
ensure running clearances remain
constant.
There are two options for anchoring the top of
the tower:
1) For lifts going up to a landing such as a
deck or porch, the optional tower brace is
the preferred method. Instructions for the
brace are packaged with it.
2) For lifts that are placed with the back of
the tower against a solid wall such as
inside of a hoistway, drilling two holes
through the top tower cross brace and
anchoring is preferred.
