9. Plumb the post so that it is perpendicular. Use the level and check both side-to-
side and front to rear. Use shims, 3/4" steel flat washers or 1/16 or 1/8 thick by
1" wide steel flat, strips are recommended for shims. Tighten the anchor bolts
and recheck for plumb. Adjust if necessary.
10. After anchoring the rear MAIN SIDE post, align the front post with the chalk lines.
Check and adjust plumb of the front post. The base plate may vary from the
measured dimensions slightly, but it is more important that the post be plumb and
parallel with the other post. Install the anchor bolts in the front main side post.
After completion of steps 8 & 9 tighten cylinder beam mounting bolts.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT DRILL OR SET OFF SIDE POST ANCHOR BOLTS AT THIS TIME.
THE LIFT MUST BE CORRECTLY ALIGNED AND CYCLED BEFORE THE
ANCHOR BOLTS ARE INSTALLED.
11. Position cross rails in their approximate locations. Note: The tapped holes on
the cross tube must be facing out for proper anti-sway installation. The
lifting chain connector must be at the MAIN SIDE post location. See Fig. 6.
12. Use a pull wire to pull the cross rail chain through the cross rail tube. The chain
runs over the sheave at the main side end and under the sheave at the off side
end. See Fig. 7. Repeat for the other cross rail.
13. Attach the cross rail chain to the main side post chain anchor with a 5/16 headed
pin and cotter key. Repeat for the other cross rail. See Fig. 6.
IMPORTANT
THE CROSS RAIL CHAIN MUST HAVE THE CENTER LINK AND IT MUST
BE IN A VERTICAL POSITION, NOT COCKED TO THE FRONT OF THE
CHAIN ANCHOR. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS REQUIREMENT COULD
RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
14. Position a 2 x 4 block under the safety latch on the main side end of the cross rail
as shown in Fig. 6. Remove the packing pin from the cross rail end assembly.
Install a 3/4 nut onto the safety rod. Turn down the nut to the bottom of the
thread on the rod. Insert the safety rod into the space previously occupied by the
packing pin in the cross rail end assembly. Insert the threaded end of the rod
into the rear hole at the top of the main side post. Secure the top of the safety
rod with a 3/4 nut. The top 3/4 nut should be flush with the end of the safety rod
and the bottom nut should be tightened against the post top cap. Remove the
wooden block. Repeat at each post.
15. Remove the cap from the front cylinder port. Manually extend the cylinder ram.
Attach the lifting chains to each cross rail chain connector using a 5/16 x 3 grade
8 shoulder bolt and lock nut. See Fig. 6.
IMPORTANT
