Installation Instruction for Expansion Anchors
For additional detailed information on foundation requirements see (See Foundation, Anchoring Re-
quirements, and Anchoring Tips Instructions.)
CAUTION: Anchors must be at least 8” from the edge of the slab or any seam.
A.Measure Lift Placement. (Recommended using columns as a template before drilling and markingholes.)
B.Keep the drill in a perpendicular line while drilling.
C.Let the drill do the work. Do not apply excessive pressure. Lift the drill up and down occasionally toremove
residue to reduce binding.
D.Drill the hole to depth equal to the length of anchor. Note: Drilling all the way through the concrete(recom-
mended) will allow the anchor to be driven through the bottom of foundation if the threads aredamaged or if the
lift will need to be relocated. (Example A.1)
E.After drilling blow the dust from the holes. (Example A.2)
F.Repeat Steps 1 through 5 (Qty x 10) after the overhead crossbeam has been installed.
G.Move column into place carefully. Then complete the following steps.
1)Place at washer and hex nut over threaded end of 3/4” x 5 1/2” wedge anchor, leavingapproximately 1/16
inch of thread exposed carefully tap anchor (use a hammer). Do not damagethreads. Tap anchor into the con-
crete until nut and at washer are against base plate.
2)Using the horseshoe shims provided, shim each column base as required until each column isplumb. If one
column has to be elevated to match the plane of the other column, add shim plates.Torque anchors to 150 ft.-
lbs. Shim thickness MUST NOT exceed ½” when using the 5 ½” longanchors provided with the lift. Adjust the
column extensions plumb.
3)Tighten the nut, two or three turns. Check each anchor bolt with torque wrench set to 100 footpounds’ torque.
4)Mechanical Anchors: Tighten the expansion anchors several hours after the initial installation. Theanchors
should be checked with the daily inspection to make sure they are properly maintained.
5)For mechanical anchors that require a specic installation torque: Failure to apply therecommended instal-
lation torque can result in excessive displacement of the anchor under load orpremature failure of the anchor.
These anchors will lose pre-tension after setting due to pre-loadrelaxation.
6)If anchors do not tighten to 150 ft.-lbs. installation torque, replace the concrete under eachcolumn
base with a 4’ x 4’ x 6” thick (Recommended 4,000 PSI) 3000psi minimum concretepad keyed under and
ush with the top of existing oor. Allow concrete to cure beforeinstalling lifts and anchors (typically
28 days).
