Rotary 2000 Series - Non-Seismic Lift Installation Details; Column Shimming and Anchor Tightening

8
Non-Seismic Lifts:
Drill 3/4” dia. holes in concrete oor using holes in column
base plate as a guide. See Fig. 4 for hole depth, hole
spacing, and edge distance requirements.
CAUTION
DO NOT install on asphalt or other similar
unstable surfaces. Columns are supported only by anchors
in oor.
IMPORTANT
Using the horse shoe shims provided,
shim each column base until each column is plumb. If
one column has to be elevated to match the plane of
the other column, full size base shim plates should be
used (Reference FA5112 Shim Kit or FA5208 for seismic
lift shims). Recheck columns for plumb. Tighten anchor
bolts to an installation torque of 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm). Shim
thickness MUST NOT exceed 1/2” (13mm) when using the
5-1/2” (140mm) long anchors provided with the standard
lifts, Fig. 5. Adjust the column extensions plumb.
If anchors do not tighten to 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm) installation
torque, replace concrete under each column base. See
Figs. 5a and 5b.
NOTE: If more than 2 horse shoe shims are used at any of
the column anchor bolts, pack non-shrink grout under the
unsupported area of the column base. Insure shims are held
tightly between the baseplate and oor after torquing anchors.

NOTE: Use rectangular
shims at inside edge of
baseplate. Use
constructions adhesive
or silicon cement to
hold shim in place.
INSURE shims are held
tightly between base
plate and floor after
torquing anchors.
