WARNING

VERTICAL CLEARANCE

Check the height of the area where the lift is to be

installed. Clearance should be calculated based on

the full raised height of the lift.

Failure by purchaser to

provide adequate clearance

could result in unsatisfactory

lift performance, property damage, or personal

injury.

FLOORING

Be certain you have the proper concrete floor to

properly handle the loaded lift. Floor should be in

generally good condition with no large cracks,

spalling or deterioration.

Minimum requirements for concrete are 4 inches

minimum depth, with steel reinforcement, 3500

psi, cured for 28 days per local commercial

practice. Floor should be level within 3/8 inch over

the installation area. No anchors should be installed

within 8 inches of any crack, edge, or expansion

joint. If these conditions cannot be met, a pad may

be poured to accommodate the lift.

Check with local building inspectors and/or permits

office for any special instructions or approvals

required for your installation.

A qualified person should be consulted to address

seismic loads and other local or state requirements.
