Step 4: Anchoring Posts
1)
Before proceeding, double check measurements using the diagram below,
Fig. 18
. Ensure to keep
columns square to center line of lift while checking dimensions side-to-side, front-to-rear, and diagonally.
Note: Diagonals must be equal to within 1/4".
Fig. 18
IMPORTANT:
Refer to ‘FOUNDATION and ANCHORING REQUIREMENTS’ noted on (Page 8).
2)
Using the base plates of Posts as a guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete approximately 5
” deep
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.
NOTE:
Drilling thru concrete (recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom
of foundation if the threads are damaged or if the lift will need to be relocated.
3)
After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire brush. Make
certain that the column remains aligned with the chalk line during this process.
4)
Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then tap into each hole with a block of wood or rubber
hammer (recommended) until the washer rests against the base plate. Be sure that if shimming is
required that enough threads are left exposed.
(See Page 8 for Shimming requirement details)
5)
Using a level, check that posts are plumb for every side. If shimming is required, use the provided shim
stock, placing the shims as close as possible to the hole locations to prevent bending the column base
plates.
6)
With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to the base then turning 2-3 full
turns clockwise. Torque anchors to 130 ft-lbs.
NOTE: DO NOT use an Impact Wrench to tighten!!
