Poweramp BAR - LIFT BARRIER - Manual (Page 5)

1. Inspect components when received and report any damage or shortage to freight
carrier.
2. Read and understand all instructions and drawings included with barrier before start-
ing.
3. Barricade work area to prevent traffic during installation.
4. Pre assemble barrier arm into main body with pivot pin provided (see figure 1). Do not,
at this time, hook up lift cylinder rod to barrier arm. Note: Removal of rear sheet metal
cover from main body may help the assembly process. Lower pin cover plate and
tighten screw to prevent pin movement.
5. In order to determine B-2-B Barrier mounting location, position the barrier so that it is
centered in door opening. Reference figure 2. The barrier may be positioned at any
desired distance from the wall. Note that 14" wall clearance is required if pin should
ever require removal. Check overhead clearance with barrier in raised position to
ensure that the barrier arm will not interfere with the overhead door or any other
overhead objects.
Check that vertical barrier option (if so equipped) is centered over centerline of
dockleveler/door opening.
6. Using the barrier pivot stanchion as a template, drill holes for concrete anchors (Rawl
5/8 Dia x 5" long supplied by Poweramp - Quantity 12).
7. If the floor is not square with respect to the mounting plates, metal shims should be
inserted to prevent the plates from twisting during lagging to the floor.
8. Position and secure the barrier pivot stanchion.
9. Connect AC supply line to the control station per proper electrical drawings. Preferred
method is to saw cut floor from base of wall under supply source to rear of barrier.
Break out concrete and install one 1/2" conduit into trench. Feed electrical line from
source to junction box on barrier and connect. Trench should be filled with epoxy or
concrete and leveled with floor.
10. Remove pipe plug from filler port on reservoir and replace with breather cap provided.
Check proper oil level per page 7 item 6.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO PERFORM ITEM 10 CAN RESULT IN EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
11. Connect lifting cylinder rod to barrier arm using pin provided in cylinder. Grease arm
pivot pin, per maintenance instruction in owner’s manual at pivot tube (Figure 4).
Replace rear cover if removed during installation.
12. Run barrier up and down several times to insure proper location of barrier storage
weldment. Once positioned properly with double gusset (single anchor) side towards
wall, use weldment as a template for drilling mounting holes. Repeat step 7 for
storage weldment if required.
13. Test system to verify proper operation. Yellow light should be off when barrier arm is
in the horizontal position (barrier in use) and in the vertical position (barrier stored).
Depressing the raise button should cause the barrier arm to raise smoothly. Release
the raise button which should stop barrier arm motion. Depressing the lower button
should cause the barrier arm to lower smoothly. Releasing the lower button should
stop barrier arm motion.
