2. Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling.
3. Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down
occasionally to remove residue to reduce binding.
4. Drill the hole to depth equal to the length of anchor. Note: Drilling thru concrete
(recommended) will allow the anchor to be driven thru the bottom of foundation if
the threads are damaged or if the lift will need to be relocated.
5. For better holding power blow dust from the hole.
Place a flat washer and hex nut over threaded end of anchor, leaving approximately 1/2"
of thread exposed carefully tap anchor. Do not damage threads. Tap anchor into the
concrete until nut and flat washer are against base plate. Do not use an impact wrench to
tighten! Tighten the nut, two or three turns on average concrete (28-day cure). If the
concrete is very hard only one or two turns may be required. Check each anchor bolt
with torque wrench set to 150 foot pounds.
STEP 8:
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 150 ft-lbs. of torque.
STEP 9
: 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".
