GENERAL INFORMATION
1. Any freight damage must be noted on the freight bill before signing and
reported to the freight carrier with a freight claim established. Identify the
components and check for shortages. If shortages are discovered, contact
Hanmecson International, Inc. immediately.
2. Consult building owner and / or architect’s plans when applicable to establish
the best lift location. The lift should be located on a relatively level floor with
4” minimum thickness, 3000 psi concrete slab that has been properly cured.
There can be no cracks in the slab within 36” of the base plate location, and
no seams in the foundation within 6” of its location! Remember: any structure
is only as strong as the foundation on which it is located!
Check for ceiling clearance first to see how high the lift can be set up in your bay.
STEP 1: After unloading the lift, place it near the intended installation location.
STEP 2: Remove the shipping bands and packing materials from the lift. The
power unit and cylinders will be unpacked from the top.
STEP 3: Open the wrapping from the upper column and carefully remove the
parts from inside. Unbolt the column from the shipping brackets.
Unbolt the up-rights (Item # 20 in the parts list) from the columns and
assemble it to the column (Item # 19 in the parts list). See Fig. # 4.
STEP 4: Unpack the cylinders and open the oil port on each cylinder by
unscrewing the black plastic cap. Move the carriage up about 20” to
25”. Next, carefully slide the cylinder inside from the bottom of the
carriage. The oil port will face the backside of the column and the
notch on the bottom of the cylinder will fit into the hole in the center
of the base plate.
STEP 5: Position the columns facing each other 105” inside base plates (see
fig. 7). Square the columns by measuring diagonally from corner
points on base plates (within1/4”).
STEP 6: Using a 3/4" diameter concrete drill, drill the anchor holes in the main
side column, installing anchors as you go. Use a block of wood or
rubber mallet to drive anchor bolts in. Drill to a minimum depth of 4"
to insure maximum holding power. Drilling thru concrete
(recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom if
the threads are damaged.
STEP 7: Using a level, check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back
plumb. If needed, use horseshoe shims provided by placing shims
