7.7. Weather: Electrical components should be protected from weather until properly installed.

8. Position Your Lift

8.1. Move and orient the lift to the position where it will be used. Do NOT anchor it at this time.

8.2. If your Wheel Kit is installed, remove and store the wheels now. Do NOT use the lift while the wheels are attached.

8.3. The back of the Column should be at least 3" from any vertical plane of a wall or obstruction so that the Collar can move

freely. Note that walls are often not truly vertical! The Platform, the Collar and everything attached to them must have

enough clearance to go up and down their travel height without hitting any obstructions.

8.4. Use steel or plastic shims (not included) to make the Column plumb.

8.5. The edge of the Platform, when at the station height, should come to approximately 0.5" (1/2") of the edge of the landing.

Note that many landing edges are not actually square or level.
