WARNING
!
Two persons are required to
perform certain tasks in this guide for safer and
easier installation. Performing these tasks alone is
not recommended.
Versa Lift
INSTALLATION OVERVIEW:
1. FRAME THE OPENING:
The first step to installing your new Versa Lift is preparing
an opening in the ceiling where the lift will be located.
Tools/Materials Required:
Saws, Drill, Hammer, Nails or
Screws, Framing Square, Tape Measure, Header & Joist
Lumber to match Existing Joists.
Skill Level:
Professional
- Do not attempt this part of
the installation yourself unless you have professional skill
in construction framing. Hire a building contractor or a
remodeling contractor to do this job correctly. It will be
well worth the cost to have this part done right. Before
cutting any ceiling joist, consult a structural engineer to
determine the best location for your lift and construction
appropriate for your ceiling type. Also, get some advice
on the best areas to deck your attic for storage, if your
attic is not decked. For example, areas over walls will
hold more weight than areas over large rooms.
2. DECK AN ATTIC SPACE:
If your attic is not already decked in the area where your
Versa Lift will be installed, then decking material such as
plywood must be added on top of the ceiling joists to
make a floor that you can walk on and store items on.
Tools/Materials Required:
Skill Saw, Hammer and Nails
or Screws and Power Driver, Square, Tape Measure,
Decking.
Skill Level:
Handyman
- If you have skill with general
carpentry tools (sawing, measuring, nailing or screwing)
and the physical strength to move large pieces of wood,
then you can do this part yourself with a helper.
(
You can
get 2 x 4-ft pre-cut plywood
at most lumber stores. It is
much easier to handle than 4 x 8-ft sheets.)
3. ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL THE LIFT:
The Versa Lift comes partially assembled. The cartons
contain all of the parts and fastening hardware, along
with detailed instructions in this guide for assembly.
Tools/Materials Required:
Drill, 5/32” Drill Bit, Square,
Tape Measure, Level, Phillips Screwdriver, Wrenches
and/or Sockets and Ratchet.
Skill Level:
Handyman
- If you have the skill for general
repair and maintenance using hand tools and can read
and follow instructions, then you can do this part yourself
with a helper.
