PRE-INSTALLATION CHECK Review the section, "Preparatory Work by Others” on the layout drawings and verify the following (if applicable): , a) Check that permanent, 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15 Ampere power or 220 Volt AC, 50 Hz. and ’ 10 Ampere power have been installed by a qualified electrical contractor to local codes and regulations. (For Public Building applications, an auxiliary contact in a lockable and fused disconnect must be provided as per National Electrical Code. Temporary power may be provided to quicken installation of lif). ») Provide a plumb and square hoistway with smooth interior surfaces. Include for fascias or furring of the hoistway interior. ©) Provide enough lighting over the lift platform and at the landings. @) Provide the rough openings at landing entrances, as per lift shop drawings. 2) Provide suitable lintels over the landing entrances. f) Provide a substantial, level, pit-floor slab, as indicated on the lift's shop drawings and verify that the floor will support the P.A.L. lift loads. ) Provide the finish grouting and masonry around the door frames. | D. VERIFY THE HANDING OF THE LIFT To check the “handing” of the P.A.L. lift, stand at the bottom landing facing the lift. (See Figure #1). The tower will be positioned either on the “right side” or the “left side”. If the tower is on the ‘left’, then the unit is a “Left Hand Unit"; and likewise, if the tower is on the “right”, then the unit is a “Right Hand Unit’. Check the “handing” of the P.A.L. lift with the site before moving the unit.

NOTE if the tower is fastened to a structural wall (non-free standing unit) then the base should only be anchored to the wall after the entire tower has been shimmed and anchored to the wall. The base support arms may be removed. 2) To reduce the weight of the unit for easier handling, the unit has been shipped without the under-platform sensor pan (if equipped), the automatic ramp and tower extension(s). (This is especially important when installing higher travel models of the PAL). OPTION: Before installation, the tower-base support arms, cantilever arms, and torsion bar may also be removed to help gain access in more difficult installations. Removing the torsion bar decreases overall unit width to approx. 28-1/4" (718 mm). Tower Cap Service Panel Car Contro!

Make sure that you have enough manpower available during the site placement part of the installation. Use extreme care and ensure that no one is under the unit or in any place where they may be struck by any part of the equipment. MAKE SURE THE HOIST HAS SUFFICIENT CAPACITY TO SUPPORT THE P.A.L. UNIT (MINIMUM 1 TON). For hoistway installations, an overhead hoist may be needed to lower the P.A.L. lift into the shaft. If applicable, install a gantry or "A" frame over the open shaft to support the hoist and the P.A.L. If installed, ensure that the gantry or "A" frame is stable, secure and designed to support the suspended load. NOTE Refer to the dimensional drawings and determine the correct location of the P. Lift Base. SHIMMING TOWER BASE AND TOWER SUPPORT ARMS (FOR FREE STANDING UNITS) 1) Shim them as required to ensure a level, plumb and square foundation. There are drilled holes in the tower base and tower support arms, which are templates for drilling into the concrete foundation or wood structure. 2) Place shims under the drilled holes in the tower support (cantilever) arms. NOTE ! For hoistway applications where support arms are not required, anchor the shims at the base jof the tower. Use only steel shims (provided). 3) Drill the floor through the prepared holes. Insert anchors into the floor. 4) Make sure the tower support arms (if equipped) are parallel before they are fastened to the floor. This ensures optimum clearance for units with under-platform sensors, and prevents “twisting” the P.A.L. “out-of-square’.| 43 5 28% Te Minimum Base Size 5 ft. Wide x6 ft. Deep 40112" 43 58" Figure #3 Standard Footprint Drawing - Free Standing “ANCHORING For concrete, use a minimum of 1/2" (13 mm) diameter anchors, at least 2-1/2" (64 mm) in length. Wood floors require lag bolts of 1/2" (13 mm) minimum diameter and 2-1/2" (64 mm) minimum length Make sure that the P.A.L. is level, plumb and square before, during and after you have completed the anchoring procedure. “Drop” a plumb line along each of the two rails and make sure that the rails are plumb in both directions. i NOTE | If the tower base has been shimmed at one end, there will be a noticeable ‘open space under the pit channel and the jack unit. This space MUST be SOLIDLY shimmed between the pit channel and the foundation. Use a minimum shim size of 4" (102 mm) for the square steel shims. USE THE LARGEST SHIM POSSIBLE. AVOID THE USE OF STEEL WASHERS FOR SHIMMING PURPOSES. 10 he 99000000990000000008 Q So ° 9° ° 6 Cc Cc cTOWER ATTACHMENT (FOR NON-FREE STANDING UNITS ONLY) The tower must be fastened to a structurally stable wall with a maximum center size of 24" (610 mm) and with the tower tie brackets provided within the tower. (This depends on the model and the travel height). Additional instructions on the dimensional drawings show the loads imposed on the structural wall. 1) To attach the tower back to the shaft wall, tie bracket holes can be accessed through the removable front service panels. The tie brackets at the rear inside of the tower have been punched with slotted holes. Use anchors for concrete and lag bolts for wood to secure the tower to a stable support. To access the bottom four mounting brackets, remove the control channel cover. Some site drilling may be required for proper fastening to the structural wall. (See Figure # 5.) 2) The lowest tower attachment is at the second tie bracket above the pit channel. (See Figure # 5.) 3) When drilling the tie brackets’ holes beside the controller, cover the electronic components and use caution when working near them. NOTE This completes the tower fastening procedure for units up to 48" (1220 mm) of travel. For units | traveling higher than 48" (1220 mm), the tower must be fastened at 24" (610 mm) intervals at {center. Refer to "ASSEMBLING THE EXTENSION’ section of this manual. NEVER OPERATE THE LIFT UNTIL THE TOWER IS SECURELY FASTENED. IMPORTANT NOTES A) Verify that the tower is plumb and square when attached to the structural wall. B) Use the shims behind the tower at each anchor point to prevent distorting the tower, as required. In some cases, if the wall is not smooth, plumb and square, special shims may have to be made by the installer. C) Do not pull or twist the tower out-of-square when tightening the fasteners, since this affects the proper operation of the lift D) The top cap is factory installed either on the base unit (48"/1220 mm travel units or less), or on the top extension, if applicable. The top cap will have to be removed later to install other parts in the installation procedure E) Make sure that the top cap can be removed for access to the intemal parts. This is particularly necessary after the General Contractor has completed his work. "43 5/8" pene Say eae / 716 Famers eee | Tune Minimum Base Size 5 ft. Wide x 6 ft.

Units traveling over 48" (1220 mm), the extension unit to the base tower is shipped unattached. The extension may be 24” (610 mm), 48" (1220 mm) or 72" (1829 mm) long, or a combination of them. For example, a 10 foot (3048 mm) travel unit consists of a standard base unit that is 76" (1930 mm) and a 6 foot or 72" (1830 mm) extension. A 12 foot (3658 mm) travel unit consists of a 76" (1930 mm) standard base unit with two (2) 48" (1220 mm) extensions. The units require an Uni-Strut assembly. (Refer to the TOWER ARRANGEMENT TABLE #1 in the "UNI-STRUT ASSEMBLY" section of this manual). 13Verify that the following parts are available: a) Four (4) Tower Joint Angles for joining the tower sections per extension joint (See Fig. #7.) b) Sixteen (16) 3/8" (9 mm) nuts, lock washers and flat washers to attach the Tower Joint Angles per extension joint ¢) One (1) yoke-guide splice channel per extension joint (See Figure #6.) d) Four (4) rail splice angles, complete with eight (8) 3/8" (9 mm) nuts and lock washers per joint Positioning and Assembly of the Tower Extension To install the tower extension: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) For non-intermediate sections, remove the top cap from the tower extension. Remove the Uni-Strut attachment bracket that is attached to the top holes in the rail. (See Figure #10.) Insert two (2) 3/8" (9 mm) clevis pins & eyes into the top holes in each rail end (This is the preferred approach.) (See Figure # 6.) To raise the tower extension into position, attach the lifting sling to the clevis pins & eyes. [The approximate weights of extensions are as follows: 24” is 45 Ibs. (20 kg), 48" is 90 Ibs. (40 kg) and 72" is 120 Ibs. (55 kg)]. Insert the yoke-guide, splice channel fully into the lower yoke-guide. (Final positioning occurs after rail joint alignment). Lower the tower extension into position, lining up the lower and upper rail ends. AS THE EXTENSION IS LOWERED INTO PLACE, THE YOKE-GUIDE SPLICE CHANNEL MUST ALSO BE FITTED OVER THE NYLON YOKE GUIDE. On higher travel units of 10 feet (3048 mm) and greater, the drive sheave extends past the top of the base tower. Attach the nylon yoke guide to the back of the sheave assembly DUE TO THE CLOSE TOLERANCE OF THE BUTT JOINT OF THE UPPER AND LOWER SECTIONS, KEEP YOUR HANDS, FINGERS AND BODY CLEAR WHILE LOWERING THE EXTENSIONS. ® ° ° ° e ° 9 9 ° ° ° © ° ° ° ° e ° © ° ° 9 3° S Cc oc aAnegeoeod ons~ Tower.

Ensure a good, clean rail joint, prior to final tightening. Make sure the rail splice nuts are on the backside of the rail, as shown in Figure # 7. 9) Raise the yoke-guide splice channel into position, so it overlaps the upper and lower joint.10) Tighten the yoke-guide splice channel bolts. (See Figure # 6). 11) Install the Tower Joint Angles on the studs provided in the tower sections. (See Figure #7.) Place slotted holes over the studs in the front or the rear of the tower. Slide the angle along the slots and over the studs in the side of the tower. Check good alignment of the tower sections before final tightening. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, SINCE THIS MAY CAUSE THE EXTERIOR OF THE TOWER TO “DIMPLE”. NOTE Attach the Tower Joint Angles after the Rail Splice Angles have been attached and the rails are aligned 12) With a plumb bob, make sure that the tower extension rails are properly aligned with the base unit rails. 13) The joint may have been damaged in shipping, marring the factory finish of the joint. Check that the joint is clean and smooth, and check that no overlap exists. Align as required to ensure a good joint. DO NOT FORCE ALIGNMENT OF THE TOWER JOINT. THIS MAY CAUSE MISALIGNMENT OF THE RAIL. 14) Release the lifting sling and remove the clevis pins and eyes. BEFORE RELEASING THE LIFTING SLING, THE TOWER EXTENSION MUST BE TIED BACK TO THE STRUCTURAL WALL. (REFER TO “TOWER ATTACHMENT” EARLIER IN THIS SECTION). 15) Loosely attach the Emergency Lowering Cable down through the holes provided in the Tie Brackets. Connect the spring from the lowering arm to the hole provided in the pump- mounting bracket. This spring retums the vaive to the “OFF” position, when the cable is released.

The traveling cable should exit the left side of the controller. (See Figure # 9). b) Pull the traveling cable straight to the wall-fastening bracket. Secure the cable with electrical ties and then bring the traveling cable across to the hanger bracket. c) Run the cable under the hanger straps and loop the cable back down between the two hanger straps. (See Figure # 8). Tighten the straps. d) After installing the traveling cable, operate the lift over its entire travel distance. Observe the traveling cable tracking as the platform moves. e) Make sure that there are enough clearances between the traveling cable and all fixed and/or moving parts. The traveling cable loop should not touch the pit channel when the lift is at the lowest landing. The cable loop should not be stretched when the lift is at the top most landing. The excess cable should be folded into a bundle and tied to the back of the control wall. 7Ld Figure #8 Rouling the Traveling Cable Figure #9 _ Cable (Left Side of Controller) UNI-STRUT ASSEMBLY (Shipped Loose for Units with Tower Extensions) 1) When the joint is completed and bolts are tightened, position the Uni-Strut Splice Channels. There are two or more short fabricated channels. (See Figure # 10.) Check that the following are available: a) Two (2) Uni-Strut Coupling "U" Channels complete with eight (8) bolts to join the Uni-Strut Columns that hold the front removable panels), (See Figure # 10.) b) Six (6) 1/4” (6 mm) -20 x 3/4" (19 mm) bolts for the Uni-Strut Couplings ¢) Uni-Strut Columns as per Step 2 i BORSGOOCHOCO9DONBIDIINNOG O 2) Assemble the Uni-Strut Column as per the Tower Arrangement Table on next page. 3) To install the Uni-Strut Couplings, place the couplings inside the joint of the two front verticai columns of the Uni-Strut.

See section, “Electrical Connections” When the lift arrives, the sling will be ” bottomed-out " and the slack/broken cable safety device will be activated. a) Connect the main power. To operate the elevator in the UP direction, push in the two main motor relays (M & M1) below the transformer. This action releases and resets the slack/broken cable safety device and closes the plank switch. (See Figure # 11.) USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN PUSHING THE M & M1 MOTOR RELAYS. BE CAREFUL TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND DO NOT PLACE YOUR HAND IN THE PATH OF ANY MOVING LIFT PARTS. 115 or 220 Volts AC Low Voltage (24V DC) Figure #11 Tripping the Relays b) Before the platform is installed, it is easy to access all parts of the sling and safety device. Inspect and check that the safety mechanism operates smoothly and easily. Check that no damage has occurred during shipping or installation. c) Check that the plank switch operates well and check that all electrical connections are secure. (See Figure # 29) 213) 4) 5) d) The under-platform sensor switches are attached, pre-wired and tested before shipping. (See Figure # 12). Check all connections and switches for damages. (The lift will not operate in the DOWN direction, if there is a faulty sensor switch). Connect the plank switch and obstruction sensor switches to appropriate plugs in the car control station. (Refer to the WIRING SCHEMATIC, Sheet 13.33 in the "APPENDIX A - SCHEMATICS" section of this manual). Re-attach the torsion bar, if previously removed. ENSURE CANTILEVER ARMS ARE SQUARE AFTER TIGHTENING. If supplied, attach the under-platform obstruction sensor plate to the cantilever arms. Use the four (4) 1/4” (6 mm)-20 x 1 3/4" (44 mm) bolts, flat washers, plastic spacers, spring nuts and lock nuts provided. (See Figure # 12.) To ensure that the under-platform obstruction sensor does not contact the switches on the cantilever arms, use the mounting bolts to adjust the sensor. The sensor plate should Clear the sensor switches by 1/8" (3 mm). NOTE The under pan obstruction sensor plate attaches to the cantilever arms, not to the platform. Install the plate before the platform. 6) Install the platform onto the sling. The platform and cantilever support arms are furnished with an adjustable mounting plate, allowing adjustment of the platform to match the site conditions. The mounting plate is located between the two sets of cantilever arms, equipped with 1/4" (6 mm)-20 clinch nuts. Access the nuts through slotted holes in the upper flange of the cantilever arms. The slots should provide approximately 1/2" (12 mm) of movement in or out from the tower to align the platform with site conditions. Insert the two (2) bolts underneath the control wall into the two holes in the sling assembly. See Figure # 14. For shipping purposes, the adjustable mounting plate is held in position by six (6) 1/4" (6 mm) hex-head bolts. Remove and discard the bolts before positioning the platform. Position the platform by aligning the threaded holes with the platform hole pattern. Install six (6) 1/4" (6 mm) x 3/4” (19 mm), stainless steel, fiat head mounting screws sent with the shipment. DO NOT TIGHTEN MOUNTING SCREWS UNTIL THE PLATFORM HAS BEEN PROPERLY ALIGNED WITH LANDING SILL AND/OR HOISTWAY WALLS. °@ e 3 e e e ° e °o °e ° ° “@ °e oe ° ° ° ° ° ° Qo 3 o ° 3 3 fe) ° e ce) ° o 9° 9 o e ° o 9 9 9 oe vNOTE A) Make sure the platform is square to the landing sills, and running clearance is in | accordance with local code requirements.

The bracket’s two clips that fit onto the Upper Threaded Adjustment Rod. (See Figure # 12). To install the platform, loosen the two (2) 1/2" (12 mm) outside- nuts and the two (2) 1/2" (12 mm) inside nuts on the Thread Adjustment Rod. Slide the slotted clips onto the threaded adjustment rod. The clips fit between the stiles and the inside nuts. Adjust the clips to the correct position and then tighten the nuts. Measure and hold the critical distance, 20-5/16" (516 mm) inside-to-inside between the stiles. \ : 14" Fat Washer (4x) <—+® 14" x eB Hex Bon (4) & Figure #12 _ Attaching the Under-Platform Obstruction Sensor
