Bend-Pak XPR-10 question...

[tlinmd]

To those of you who own an XPR-10 or -10A, or have installed one,

Did you really torque the hold-down nuts on the concrete anchor studs to 90 ft-lbs? I have them torqued to 55 ft-lbs, and I'm worried that if I tighten to 90, I might pull them out.

They are anchored at the recommended 3-3/4 to 4 inch depth, on a 6" slab of 3000 psi concrete.

Thanks for your advice!

I torqued mine in stages 50, 70, then 90.. no problem.

you can not "pull them out" it might be possible to snap them but they would not pull out.

If the anchor bolts pull out at 90 ft lbs then you have a problem. Don't use the lift until the anchors are properly torqued.

Absolutely torque them to 90! I had no issues.

...and so torque them to 90 ft-lbs I did. Just as everyone said, no issues. I was just being overly cautious, as usual . I did do this in stages (55,70,90), like fflintstone suggested.

Here is a picture of my daily driver up on it this evening, getting its winter tires swapped out for the summer ones.

The garage build is continuing...the garage is only half full yet.

You still need to go back and re-check them about two more times. You will find that they will need it. Also, lifting a Duramax or similar heavy truck will strech the cables to where they need re-tightened as well. After this you should be set.

Be sure to do a re torque.
