INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The FRIEIGHTLITE is shipped to the site factory assembled. However, the power unit,
gates, and enclosures must be installed.
To install the FRIEIGHTLITE, refer to the General Arrangement (GA) or Record
Drawings that have been shipped with the lift. These drawings have notes and
measurements that should be checked before installation of the lift. The drawings will
show how the lift should be arranged and how it should be installed specifically for this
application. The installation may begin only after all of the measurements have been
checked and are correct.
NOTE: All illustrations contained in this manual are for reference purposes only.
Specific applications and site conditions may require different anchoring and bracing
procedures. The ultimate responsibility for the anchoring and bracing rests with the
installation crew.
A. LAYING OUT CARRIAGE POSITION & MARKING FLOORS FOR ALLIGNMENT
1. Refer to Figures 11-15 to lay out and mark the reference lines so that the lift will
clear the upper landing and any obstructions that may be located around the lift (the
General Arrangement Record Drawings should indicate the necessary clearance
needed for the particular application).
a. Figure 11 - Layout the position of the lift at the second level landing/opening,
marking the center of the carriage first – then both outside edges of the carriage.
b. Figures 12 & 13 - Drop a plumb line from the center marking of the carriage
position at the second floor holding the plumb line one inch out from the edge of
the landing (one inch is a standard distance for clearance - deviations may
occur), or point A, down to the first floor and mark point B as the carriage center
(check the GA drawing for any other special considerations).
NOTE: To ensure carriage clearance between floors, remove any protrusions
from the floor, wall, etc., or move the plumb lines out beyond the protrusions.
c. Figure 14 - Drop plumb lines from the upper level to the lower level using the
two markings identifying the outside edges of the carriage platform. Again, the
plumb line must be held 1” out from the edge of the mezzanine or opening at the
second floor to provide adequate clearance.
d. Figure 15 - Using a chalk line, snap a line between C and D.
