Preparing to Install the Lift
Site Requirements:
Verify the surface the lift will mount to is smooth and level. This surface must be made from 3,500 psi
reinforced concrete with a minimum thickness of 4".
Verify that there is enough space for the lifts foot print. Be sure to include space neccesary for platform.
Caution: Verify that you have overhead clearance and the lift complies with codes for
your area.
Determine if the overhead height of the enclosure will encounter any difficulties with the building
(soffits, building overhang, gutters) and determine a plan to deal with these.
For enclosures without a dome, code requires 6' 8" of clearance above the platform floor when the
lift is at the upper landing. Overhead clearance is your responsibility
Since you've purchased a Harmar enclosure for your lift, side-to-side running clearances required
by codes are satisfied by this design.
Warning: If you've purchased a 3-sided enclosure, the area between the lower floor and
the top landing must be smooth and vertical so that the distance from the wall to the
platform will stay between 3/8" and ¾" to meet code. This is to eliminate any pinch
points. If you're using your own upper flush-door, you must also assure the threshold
meets this dimension requirement too, so there won't be a pinch point.
Electricity Requirements
The lift will require a 115 VAC 20 amp grounded electrical circuit.
Depending on local codes, this connection may need to be routed in electrical conduit and hard-wired.
If you have a dome and ventilation/light unit, you'll need to get 115 VAC 4 amps to it also. This can be
wired in conduit to the upper terminal strip of the Pinnacle or separately,
Warning: Do not ride on the lift until it has been anchored in place
