Drill holes using 3/4”
carbide tipped
masonary drill bit per
ANSI standard
B94.12.1977 Clean hole. Run nut down just
below impact section
of bolt. Drive anchor
into hole until nut and
washer contact base. Tighten nut with
Torque wrench to
85 ft.-lbs.
STEP 9:
Using a level, check column for side-to-side plumb and front-to-back plumb. If needed,
use horseshoe shims provided by placing shims underneath the base plate and around the
anchor bolt. This will prevent bending the column bottom plates (Shim thickness should not
exceed 1/2”). Tighten 3/4” anchor bolts to 85 ft-lbs. of torque.
STEP 10
: Using a tape measure, measure from corner of the base on main side column to the
opposite corner of the offside column to insure legs are square (within a 1/4”).
STEP 11
: Set carriages on the first safety latch engagement. Be sure each carriage is at the
same height by measuring from the top of the base to the bottom of the carriage (double check
the latches before working under the carriages). This dimension should be within 1/4".
STEP 12
: Installing the equalizing cables: for general cable arrangement. Route the first cable
as shown on next page. Tighten nut on one cable stud so that the end of stud passes the nylon
on the nut. Pull the other end of cable and run nut on it. Repeat above for second cable.
NOTE: DO NOT tighten cables at this time. Just start them on the threads. Other
column will be anchored in later steps. If you tighten cables at this time you will pull the
column and be unable to properly level/shim it for anchor installation.
