4.  After drilling, remove dust thoroughly from each hole using compressed air and/or wire brush. Make 

certain that the column remains aligned with the chalk line during this process. 

5.  Assemble the washers and nuts on the anchors then tap into each hole with a block of wood or 

rubber hammer until the washer rests against the base plate. Be sure that if shimming is required 

that enough threads are left exposed. 

6.  Using a level, check column plumb for every side (Fig. 9). If shimming is 

required, use

“ washers or shim stock, placing shims as close as 

possible to the hole locations. This will prevent bending the column 

base plates. 

7.  With the shims and anchor bolts in place, tighten by securing the nut to 

the base then turning 2-3 full turns clockwise. Or tighten anchor bolts to 

150 ft-lbs. of torque. DO NOT use an impact wrench for this procedure.

STEP 5

:    (Mounting the OFFSIDE Column and the OVERHEAD BEAM) 

1.  Position the OFFSIDE column at the designated chalk locations. 

2.  Using a lift machine, raise the CROSS BEAM in position 

on top of the columns. Bolt it to the columns using the 

bolts, nuts and washers (Fig. 11).                                                 

3.  Using a tape measure to measure the distance between the 

opposite corners of the base plate on the columns. Equal 

values will insure the lifting arms will be in square.

4.  Secure OFFSIDE column to the floor following the same procedures as outlined in STEP 4. 

 
STEP 6

:    (Mounting the POWER UNIT) 

1.  Attach the power unit to the MAIN COLUMN using bolts, nuts 

and washers supplied (Fig. 12). 

2.  Remove the vent plug and fill the reservoir with hydraulic oil. 

Make sure the funnel used to fill the power unit is clean. 

Suggestion: Use AW 32, or 46 Non-Detergent Non-Foaming 

Anti-Wear Hydraulic Oil. SAE-10 (Texaco HD46 or 

equal). The unit will holds approximately ten Liters 

of fluid.

STEP 7

:    (Routing the EQUALIZER CABLES) 

1.  Raise and lock each carriage on the first safety latch engagement. It is approximately 30” high. 

2.  Make sure that the safety locks on each column are fully engaged before attempting to route 

equalizer cables. 

3.  Be sure each carriage is at the same height by measuring from the top of the base to the bottom of 

the carriage. This difference should be within

4.  Rout the first cable. (See Fig 13-16) Screw the nut on the cable stud so that half thread pass through 

the nut. Pull the other end of the cable and screw the nut on it also. Then tighten both nuts.   

5.  Repeat above for the second cable. 

6.  Adjust each equalizer cable to approximately
