must be held within 1" of that shown on the layout drawings.
6) Overhead clearance: (top floor to underside of hoistway ceiling or
obstruction) to be maintained per the layout drawings. If any of the
shaftway dimensions cannot be achieved, contact the factory for alternate
arrangements.
7) a poured pit conforming to the dimensions indicated on the layout
drawings must be provided. The pit must be designed for the impact load
indicated and must be dry and level from wall to wall.
