Anchoring the Lift
Anchors
Harmar recommends securing the lift using the concrete anchors provided. If you purchase you own floor anchors they must be 3/8” minimum of sufficient length. All four floor anchors must be installed correctly in accordance to their instructions.
Step 1
•Position the lift in its final location.
•Verify that it is level and perpendicular to its surroundings and all running clearances are the proper dimension.
•Shim if necessary.
Step 2
Use the lift’s base as a template. Drill 4 holes into the concrete making sure that the holes are deep enough to accept the anchors.
Step 4 (800 or taller models)
Taller lifts must have the top of the lift tower anchored into a solid surface to ensure running clearances remain constant.
There are two options for anchoring the top of the tower:
1)For lifts going up to a landing such as a deck or porch, the optional tower brace is the preferred method. Instructions for the brace are packaged with it.
2)For lifts that are placed with the back of the tower against a solid wall such as inside of a hoistway, drilling two holes through the top tower cross brace and anchoring is preferred.
Tip: Concrete dust may have settled into the holes you just drilled. Use a shop vacuum to clean out these holes. This will ensure the floor anchors set correctly.
Step 3
Secure the lift in place by tightening the floor anchor bolts.
