4.2 Installing the Latch Cable Guides
Install the latch cable conduit guide brackets to the column extensions using (1) 1/4-20NC x 1 HHCS and (1) 1/4-20NC Flanged Locknut‚ as shown in Fig. 2b. Ensure the cables are securely routed through the guides to maintain proper alignment and prevent damage. Tighten all hardware firmly to avoid shifting during operation. Proper installation ensures smooth latch engagement and reliable lift functionality.
Floor Preparation and Concrete Requirements
Proper floor preparation ensures the lift’s stability. Concrete must meet specified strength requirements‚ and anchoring should be secure. Shim usage is essential for precise alignment and leveling.
5.1 Concrete Strength and Anchoring
The concrete must meet specified strength requirements to support the lift safely. Anchor bolts should be installed with a torque of 110 ft-lbs (149 Nm). If the anchors do not tighten properly‚ the concrete under each column base may need to be replaced. Ensure the surface is level and clean before proceeding with the installation to guarantee stability and longevity of the lift system.
5.2 Shim Usage and Alignment
Shims are used to ensure proper alignment and leveling of the lift columns. The shim thickness must not exceed 1/2 inch (13mm). After placing shims‚ adjust the column extensions to ensure they are plumb. Proper alignment is critical for the safe and efficient operation of the lift. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for shim placement and adjustment to maintain structural integrity and functionality.
Safety Features and Precautions
Ensure operator safety by following proper installation and maintenance procedures. Use personal protective equipment and adhere to load capacity guidelines to prevent accidents and equipment damage.
6.1 Mechanical Locking Mechanisms
The Rotary SPOA10 lift features mechanical locking mechanisms to ensure safe and stable operation. These mechanisms engage automatically during lifting‚ securing the lift arms in place. Proper engagement ensures the lift remains stable‚ preventing accidental lowering. Always verify the locking mechanisms are fully engaged before loading vehicles. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components are crucial for reliable performance and operator safety‚ adhering to ANSI/ALI ALCTV standards.
6.2 Proper Load Capacity and Placement
The Rotary SPOA10 lift is designed to accommodate vehicles up to 10‚000 lbs. Proper load placement is critical to ensure safe and stable operation.
