General Assembly

Step 1

Slide the carriage assembly into the 1st stage assembly from the front. It may help with installation to lift the carriage up from the bottom and angle it forward a bit. Slide the carriage down and return it to a vertical position.

Once in, the front/back bearings in the carriage and the 1st stage should both be on the same side.

Step 2

Bolt the 3/4" OD Radial Bearings into the Bearing Blocks on the backside of the carriage. The Bearing Blocks where they must be installed are indicated in green in the image below.

At this point, the elevator carriage should be able to move smoothly up/down, and a small amount of wiggle left/right and front/back is to be expected. This ensures the elevator will not bind.

Step 3

Slide the assembly from Step 2 into the Elevator Mast Assembly from the front. It may help with installation to lift the assembly from Step 15 up from the bottom and angle it forward a bit. Slide that assembly down while returning it to a vertical position.

If you are assembling an Elevator with 3 or more stages, The assembly from Step 2 will be installed in the Extra Stages before being installed in the Elevator Mast Assembly.

Step 4

Bolt the 3/4" OD Radial Bearings into the Bearing Blocks on the backside of the 1st stage and the front side of the elevator mast. The Bearing Blocks where they must be installed are indicated in green in the image below.

At this point, the 1st stage should be able to move smoothly up/down, and a small amount of wiggle left/right and front/back is to be expected. This ensures the elevator will not bind.
