Elevator Mast

Vibra-TITE VC-3 Threadmate (Vibra-TITE) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.

Step 1

Assemble the Elevator Mast Vertical Tube with an aluminum tube plug and appropriate plastic tube plug sleeve. The tube plug can be installed using #10-32 x 3/8”L bolts.

Repeat this step for both Elevator Mast Vertical Tubes.

Step 2

Bolt the assembled vertical tubes for the mast to the Elevator Base Tube. The bottom face of the tube should be drilled to 3/8”, providing adequate clearance so the #10-32 x 3/8”L bolts can be installed inside the tube.

Step 3

Attach the Elevator Mast Cross Tube to the Elevator Mast Vertical Tubes using four #10-32 bolts and 2” long spacers. While the tube can be lower, it is recommended to mount it as high as possible to increase the strength of the elevator mast.

Step 4

Drill the holes marked in green on one of the Centered Bearing Plates to be clearance for #10-32. Once that is done, press the 1/2" Rounded Hex Bearings into both plates. Install both plates as shown in the image below using two #10-32 x 1-1/2"L bolts.
