STEP 5
( Installing The POWERSIDE Column )
1. Before proceeding, double the check measurements
and make certain that the bases of each Column are
aligned with the chalk line.
2. Using the base plate on the POWERSIDE Column as a
guide, drill each anchor hole in the concrete (approximately
4-1/2” deep for 10K models and 6” deep for 12K and 15K
models) 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. (See Fig. 5.1)
3. After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole
making certain that the Column remains aligned with the
chalk line.
4. Assemble the Washers and Nuts on the anchors
then tap into each hole with a hammer until the washer
rests against the Base Plate. Be sure that if shimming is
required that enough threads are left exposed.
(See Fig. 5.2)
5. If shimming is required, insert the shims as necessary
under the Base Plate so that when the anchor bolts are
tightened, the Columns will be plumb. (See Fig. 5.3)
6. With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by
securing the nut to the base then turning 2 - 3 full turns
clockwise. DO NOT use an impact wrench for this
procedure. (See Fig. 5.4)
STEP 6
( Mounting The OFFSIDE column. )
1. Position the OFFSIDE Column at the designated chalk
locations and secure to the floor following the same proce-
dures as outlined in STEP FIVE; Items 1-6.

NOTE:
To ease installation of the Top Trough, it helps to keep
the anchor bolts loose on one of the columns until the
top beam is mounted.
