INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
ENCLOSURE PANELS
Look at the plan views on the lift General Arrangement drawing to see the basic layout
of the panels. Compare the enclosure panel length measurement to the drawing. If the
lift approval drawing calls for full height enclosures, follow these drawings for assembly
of the full height enclosures.
The easiest way to assemble the enclosure panels is to start at one side of the gate and
work around the lift. NOTE: If space allows, assemble a side first, and then stand the
completed side up.
NOTE: The enclosure panels that attach to the floor will have “feet” for lagging them to
the floor. For ease of installation, do not lag the enclosures until all of the enclosures
have been assembled.
1. Find the first panel that goes on the right side of the gate. This will most likely be a
filler panel. Use TEK screws to attach the panel to the gatepost angle clips.
2. The next panel will connect to the first panel. In most cases, this will be a corner.
Use three 3” long corner angles and TEK screws to attach panels at the corner (see
Figure 19).
3. Butt the panels together on the sides and attach through the enclosure angles, using
TEK screws.
4. Continue around the lift until the enclosures have been completed.
5. Mount the 12” long top cap splice across the top of the enclosure panel and attach
using TEK screws (see Figure 20).
6. Brace the enclosure back to the lift. The installer supplies this bracing. When
installing the bracing, make sure that it does not interfere with any moving
components of the lift or gates.
7. Lag all of the mounting feet on the enclosures to the floor.
8. Mount the interlocks according to the instructions (see Interlock Installation section.)
