14) Now using a tape measure, check the plumb line location relative to the wall at all the
other rail brackets. If the plumb line location shows a dimension at a rail bracket of less
than 5”, it will be necessary for you to adjust the jig location at the top of the hoistway
to ensure a minimum plumb line to wall dimension of 5”. Once you have the correct
position for the top rail bracket tighten the leaf adjustment bolts and remove the jig.
15) Proceed to the bottom of
the hoistway and install the
jig at the bottom rail bracket
using the built in vice grips
to pull the adjustable leafs
into position ensuring the
centreline of the leaf is in line
with the plumb line. Tighten
the adjustable leaf bolts
then remove the jig. Now
using a set of padded vice
grips clamp the bottom of
the plumb line to the center
of the bottom adjustable leaf
bracket.

16) Proceed up the hoistway using the jig to set all of the adjustable leaf brackets relative to the
plumb lines.
17) Set the pit channel in place. Leave the pit channel loose but shim it to ensure it is level. The
pit channel should be shimmed over its entire length since it supports the full weight of the
lift and its rated load. The center directly under the jack upstand post must be shimmed with
steel. Do not bolt the pit channel into place at this time.
18) Use a pipe wrench to hold the rail clip in place, then install hardware as shown below, do
not tighten.
