Important
When attaching the Lift to a flat concrete ceiling, SVS suggest two (2) pieces of P1000T Unistrut (or
equivalent) approx. 10-feet (3.04 m) long, to be installed on the ceiling first. Proper spacing between the two
pieces will be based on the distance between the four (4) mounting holes located on the top of the Lift as shown
in Figure 4.
You should use at least four (4) 1/2” bolts and anchors evenly spaced on each piece of Unistrut to distribute the
weight of the supporting structure. Attach the two lower pieces of Unistrut to the upper two pieces of Unistrut
using 1/2” threaded rods to the Unistrut, using Unistrut P3010 1/2” channel nuts in the channel, along with a
locking washer and nut below the channel to lock into place.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing an PPS-1 Plenum Shroud with the Lift, please read the Accessory Installation
Instructions before beginning your installation. The Lift support structure will need to allow enough
space for the Plenum Shroud mounting hardware
7. LIFT INSTALLATION
a. Preparation:
•
The Lift is shipped in a wooden crate in an inverted position.
•
Do not remove the Lift from the crate until you are ready to install it.
•
The Installation Instructions and Wall Plate Controller with control cable are located in a cardboard
box inside the crate.
•
Unbolt the Lift from the bottom of the crate to remove the lift from the crate and turn the lift upright.
b. Top Mounting
•
To prepare the ceiling opening for installing the Lift refer to the PCC-1/2 Ceiling Closure
Installation Instructions and Figure 9 to determine the size of the ceiling opening.
•
Raise the Lift into the ceiling and line up the four (4) mounting holes in the Lift's top frame with the
3
/
8
-inch threaded rods of the supporting structure. Make sure that there is a top nut and a flat washer
on each threaded rod before the Lift is mounted. (Plenum Shrouds require additional hardware on the
threaded rods before the Lift.)
•
Once the Lift's top frame has been inserted, add a hexnut to each threaded rod below the Lift frame.
Always leave the top nut loose to allow adjustments until the Lift is leveled.
•
Level the Lift's top frame side-to-side and front-to-back using the lower hexnuts on the threaded
rods.
•
Once the Lift is leveled, secure the Lift to the threaded rods by tightening the upper hexnuts. Do not
over tighten the fasteners as it could distort the Lifts top frame.
•
Plug the 12-pin connector of the Wall Plate Controller into the 12-pin socket on the Lift's gray
electrical box mounted on the Lifts top frame. The Wall Plate Controller includes 75-feet of cable
and is shipped with the Lift. It is located in the cardboard box attached to the lid of the Lift's
shipping crate.
•
Once the Lift is properly installed in the ceiling and leveled, you can remove the shipping blocks.
Remove the blocks by removing the screws and tie-raps holding them in place.
