THE MAIN SIDE COLUMN MUST BE POSITIONED TO BE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OR RIGHT
SIDE WITH THE VEHICLE HEADED FORWARD. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN COLUMN'S BACK
EDGE TO WALL, SHOULD BE AT LEAST 2 FEET FOR SAFETY.

anchor bolts into the concrete until the washer rests against the base plate. Ensure not to damage
threads.
D. 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 9. Re-
check to ensure column is plumb.
