WARNING
BEFORE INSTALLING THIS LIFT:
Verify that this product and its installation does not violate
local building codes. You can find out this information
from a local building inspector, architect, structural
engineer, or your building contractor.
Find out if there are any code restrictions on what types
of things you can store in your attic.
Get professional advice and estimates on framing,
decking and assembly if you are not qualified or
physically able to do these tasks. You can find building
contractors, remodeling contractors, architects,
engineers and inspectors in the Yellow Pages.
You are responsible for determining the suitability of this
product for your individual purposes, as well as installing
it in a way that meets local building and safety codes.
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-Driver, Hammer,
Nails or Screws, Framing Square, Tape Measure, Header
& Joist Lumber to match your existing joists.
Skill Level:
Professional
- Only attempt this part of the
installation yourself if you are skilled in construction-type
framing. If you are not, you should hire a Versa Lift dealer
or a building/remodeling contractor to do this job for you.
Before cutting any ceiling joist, consult a contractor or
structural engineer to determine the best location to
install your lift. Also, if your attic is not already decked,
get some advice on the best areas to add decking in your
attic for storage.
2.
FLOORING AN ATTIC SPACE:
If your attic is not already floored in the area where your
Versa Lift will be installed, then flooring 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, Framing Square, Tape
Measure, and Decking Material.
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 4 x 4-ft. or 2 x 8-ft. pre-cut plywood at most lumber
stores. It is much easier to handle than 4 x 8-ft sheets.)
3.
