1. Pre-install vertical channel splice plates to vertical channels to be installed after lift. Move vertical
channels near to dryer.

in Orientation Section on Page 42
3. Attach hoisting tackle from each jack to two (2) lift brackets according to jack manufacturer’s
instructions. Span two (2) lift brackets with lift bar so jacks do not block vertical rows of bolt holes.

according to jack manufacturer’s instructions.
