of overhead clearance is required above the
platform floor when the lift is at the upper landing.
Position the lift in its final location.
Verify that the tower front and sides are plumb and
all running clearances are the proper dimensions.
Shim if necessary. Wood shims must never be used.
Install two (2) anchors at the back of the tower and
two (2) anchors into the tower legs. See figure 4-12.

1. 8' models must have the lift tower anchored
into a solid surface at or above the top cross-
brace of the tower frame. 10' or taller models
must have the lift tower anchored at two (2)
levels into a solid surface at or above the top
two (2) tower cross braces. This is to ensure
running clearances remain constant. There
are two options for anchoring the top of the
tower.
See Figure 4-13.

The 1st option is to use the optional tower brace
that attaches to the sides for the tower. There
are brackets that attach to a structure. Then the
brackets are fastened together.
Locate the tower brace as high as possible on the
tower.
NOTICE
The 2nd option for anchoring the lift is drilling
through the slots in the back of the tower cross-
braces at the desired locations and anchor to the
structure behind the lift. The wall needs a brace or a
solid structure behind it. Anchors should be built out
at least 1

from the center 15

of the tower back so
that top can be removed for service. Insert supplied
spacers behind tower cross braces when anchoring.
INSTALLING FIXED RAMPS
