WARNING !
Before installing the lift, read & follow the recommended safety
practices in the Safety Practices section. Failure to follow these
safety practices could result in death or serious injury
PIT INSTALLATION
DANGER !
Do not install the lift in a pit unless it has a bevel toe guard or
other approved toe protection. Failure to provide approved toe
protection could result in exposure to shear points and potential
severe injury to personnel.
Lift platforms traveling below floor levels my create openings,
and the shape of the load and how the load is arranged on the
lift may create a toe hazard as the load passes the top edge of
the pit. Both situations may require guarding in accordance
with Federal Regulations. Any such guarding must be installed
prior to operating the lift.
PIT DIMENSIONS: (Reference Figure 11)
1.
The pit, in which the lift is installed, is the responsibility of the contractor or
owner.
2.
Check the pit dimensions. The overall length and width should be 2" minimum
longer and 2" minimum wider than the lift platform. Pit depth should be the
lowered height plus 1/2" for shims or grout.
3.
Make sure the installation area is clean before starting. Check the mounting
surface of the pit floor with a level or straight edge. If the floor is not level, add
shims or grout under the lift base frame along the entire perimeter of the base to
achieve a level and flat base installation. A level base will ensure proper wheel
tracking and smooth lift operation.
4.
Check the chase (3” conduit) entrance into the pit. If the permanent electrical
work is not complete, some means of temporary lines with an on-off device for
the motor should be set up for testing purposes.
