HD-973P Series Multi-Level Parking Lift 64 P/N 5900076 — Rev. B3 — January 2024
Important: The holding strength of an Anchor Bolt is partially based on the how cleanly the
Expansion Sleeve presses against the Concrete. If the hole is dirty, the Expansion
Sleeve does not press as cleanly, which means less holding strength. If the hole is
too wide, the Expansion Sleeve does not press against the Concrete with as much
force, again resulting in less holding strength.
BendPak recommends using a vacuum to clean the hole. You can also use a wire brush, hand pump,
or compressed air; just make sure to thoroughly clean each hole.
Do not ream the hole. Do not make the hole any wider than the drill bit made it.
Make sure the Washer and Nut are in place, then insert the Anchor Bolt into the hole.
Hammer or mallet the Anchor Bolt the rest of the way down into the hole. Stop when the Washer is
snug against the Base Plate. The Expansion Sleeve of the Anchor Bolt may prevent the Anchor
Bolt from passing through the hole in the Base Plate; this is normal. Use a hammer or mallet to get
the Expansion Sleeve through the Base Plate and into the hole.
Even using a hammer or mallet, the Anchor Bolt should only go into the hole part of the way; this is
normal. If the Anchor Bolt drops all the way in with little or no resistance, the hole is too large
Plumb each Post; install any needed Shims.
Do not shim a Post more than half an inch using
the provided Shims. A maximum of 2 inches is
possible by ordering optional Shim Plates. Contact
BendPak at (800) 253-2363, option 7 then 5 to
order. Please have the model and serial number of
your Lift available.
Take your time while plumbing and shimming the
Posts; it is important to make the Lift as
level as possible.
Wrench each Nut clockwise to the recommended
installation torque, 85 – 95 pound feet, using a Torque
Wrench.
Important: Do not use an impact wrench to
torque the Anchor Bolts.
Wrenching the Nut forces the Wedge up, forcing out the
Expansion Sleeve and pressing it tightly against the
Concrete.
