4. Core drill at least a 4” diameter hole to a depth of at least 7” at the
desired location for the lift and anchor socket. Remove all excess
material from the hole. This may require a hammer and chisel.

lug according to local electrical codes*. Refer to FIGURE 2
6. Fill the hole 1/3 full with high-strength epoxy or cement. Install the
anchor by pushing down and rotating back and forth until the anchor is
flush with the deck surface. Make sure the epoxy/cement fills the hole
up to the surface. Clean off excess epoxy/cement.
