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 as indicated in green.

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 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 carriage as indicated in green.

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.
