5. Columns Positioning & Main Side Column Anchoring
A. Determine which side will be the approach side.
B. Now determine which side you prefer the power unit to be located on. The MAIN column has the
power unit mounting bracket attached to the front side, if installed on the passenger side. (If the
MAIN column is installed on the driver side, the power unit mounting will be positioned to the
backside.)
THE DISTANCE BETWEEN COLUMN'S BACK EDGE TO WALL, SHOULD BE AT LEAST 2 TO
3 FEET FOR SAFETY.
C. Carefully stand up the Main side column (w/ power unit bracket) & Off side column, position
the columns where they are to be secured. Ensure column's openings are facing each other.
D. Before proceeding, double check measurements and make certain that the bases of each column
are square and aligned with the chalk line.
E. Using the column base as a template, drill the anchor bolt holes for the Main side column only!
(Refer to FOUNDATION REQUIREMENTS & ANCHORING TIPS ON PAGES 11 & 12)
NOTE: DO NOT ANCHOR OFF SIDE COLUMN AT THIS TIME!
F. Install the anchor bolts, assemble washers & nuts onto the anchor bolts. Thread the nuts onto the
anchors bolts where the tops of the nuts are just above the top of the anchor bolts. Carefully tap
the anchor bolts into the concrete until the washer rests against the base plate. Ensure not to
damage threads.
G. Using a level, plumb the Main side column both side to side and front to back. Shim the leg as
necessary using the Shims provided. Tighten anchor bolts to 110 ft. lbs. as noted on page 11. Re-
check to ensure column is plumb.
NOTE: REFER TO 'FOUNDATION & ANCHOR REQUIREMENTS' IF MORE THAN 1/2" OF
SHIMS ARE REQUIRED.
H. Ensure Off side column is in the correct location. DO NOT DRILL HOLES FOR ANHORS at this
time.
6. Install Overhead Beam & Limit Switch Bar (Figs. 3, 4 & 5)
A. Ensure the cable pulleys are assembled onto shafts with spacers prior to attaching overhead beam
to top of columns, as shown below in Fig 3.
