5.2 Checking for room suitability
The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places free of overhead obstructions.
The place of installation must not be next to washing areas, painting workbenches, solvent or varnish deposits. The
installation near to rooms, where a dangerous situation of explosion can occur, is strictly forbidden. The relevant
standards of the local Health and Safety at Work regulations, for instance, with respect to minimum distance to wall
or other equipment, escapes and the like, must be observed.
5.3 Lighting
Lighting must be carried out according to the effective regulations of the place of installation. All areas next to the lift
must be well and uniformly lit.
5.4 Floor requirement
The lift MUST be installed on 3000 PSI concre
te with the minimum thickness 6” and an extension of at least 4’ from
anchoring points. New concrete must be adequately cured by at least 20 days minimum.
Specifications of concrete must be adhered to. Failure to do so could cause lift failure resulting in personal
injury or death.
A level floor is suggested for proper installation. Small differences in floor slope may be compensated for
by proper shimming. Any major slope change will affect the level lifting performance. If a floor is of
questionable slope considering to pour the new concrete slab.
5.5 Site layout

floor at each location using the column base plates as a template.
•
Double check all dimensions and make sure that the bases of each column are square and aligned with the
chalk line.
