B. Assuming no damage has occurred to the crate, check the components against the
packing list. This will provide assurance that every item shipped has been received.
C. Make sure you have a copy of the latest version of the general arrangement and
electrical drawings before beginning installation, changes could have been made
since original purchase order submittal and order entry.
D. Read and understand this manual thoroughly prior to starting the installation.
3. EQUIPMENT LAYOUT
A. Make sure pit and/or lift are properly squared and vertically aligned with upper
landings to ensure that the carriage will clear the upper landings by the required
distance.
B. Be sure to take into consideration any other obstructions (pipes, ductwork, ceiling
joists/beams, etc.) that may be located around the lift.
C. Inspect the installation for any overhanging floor landing or other obstruction (pipes,
ductwork, ceiling joists/beams, etc.) which could potentially jam a load that is slightly
overhanging the carriage deck as it raises to the next floor level. Any potential jam
point should have some type of slanted or beveled guarding placed beneath the
obstruction to push the overhanging load back onto the carriage.
4. STRUCTURAL INSTALLATION
A. Follow the bracing recommendations shown on the general arrangement drawings
and in the Installation & Service manual. Site conditions may also require
customization to standard anchoring and bracing. The installers are ultimately
responsible for the proper and safe anchoring and bracing of the equipment and
should consult the manufacturer if there is any doubt as to the structural integrity of
the installation.
B. When anchoring guide beams to walls, you must be sure that the walls can support
the reaction loads imparted on them.
C. If spliced masts are provided, be sure to assemble and field install them exactly to the
Manufacturer’s recommendations. Failure to do so will reduce the safety and
performance of the VRC. See Installation Section for acceptable limits.
D. Make sure guide beam pairs are plumb, parallel, and straight after you are finished
with all welding. See Installation Section for acceptable limits.
E. Do not modify any component of the lift without expressed written consent from the
Manufacturer.
