493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Electrical supply Provision may be made for a conduit in the floor (minimum 20mm internal diameter) which exits either outside the base plate or in the column through the 25mm diameter hole (Fig. 2). Columns The columns are secured to the concrete pads with the anchor bolts supplied.
The motor column (4) has several holes on its main face as well as the identification and instruction plates. Columns 1, 2 and 3 are all similar, but the one that has a large vertical ‘Fog’ logo must be positioned on the ‘drive on’...
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Component position Position on the floor plan all of the components that make up the lift, in the following order: • Cross-members: Place a suitable support under the cross-members, and under the horizontal gusset. • Columns: Engage the columns as far as possible onto the vertical cheek-plates of the cross members and position them correctly on the floor, move the cross-members if necessary.

493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Anchoring the columns Drill the holes for the anchor bolts using the base plates as templates. Ensure that the columns are as vertical as possible and concentric in relation to the base plate holes in order to allow column adjustment. If drilling cannot be completed with the column in place, trace the position of the holes on the floor as accurately as possible, remove the column and its shims, noting their positions.

493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 At each end of the cross-member, feed the wire rope under the sensing roller which should always be kept in the upper position, then insert it into the groove of the vertical pulley and then insert the end of each wire rope through the top of the column, fit the shoulder collar and the two nuts.
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Fitting the ladder racks CAUTION: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE LADDER RACKS BE PAINTED. IF NECESSARY, CLEAN THEM, SCRAPE OFF ANY EXCESS RUST AND THEN COAT WITH THICK OIL. The top of the platform must not be more than 300mm from the ground, when fitting the ladder racks.

493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 CONNECTING TO THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY IMPORTANT: THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY MUST CONFORM WITH THE CURRENT EDITION OF THE IEE REGULATIONS. The rating [SIZE] of the supply control fuses should be as follows: - 230 V Three phase 10 A aM - 400 V Three phase 6 A aM The conductor section for the supply should be as follows:...
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Fitting accessories • Fit the blanking (inspection) plate to the end of each cross-member in the (fixed track) axis. • Hang the access ramps onto the end of the tracks on the 'drive on' side, and then insert the retaining rod into the hooks and locate and fit the split pins in position.
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Fitting and adjusting the tie rods Raise the platform, without letting it rest on its latches. At each end of the fixed track: • Insert the threaded rods into the tubes located in the track (Fig. 15). •...
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Checking the column adjustment Raise the unloaded platform to 300mm from the ground, suspended by the wire ropes. Check the following: • That each column is square, using a rule placed firmly on the outer surface, and which is then used to sight the opposite column.
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Checking the adjustment of the wire rope safety switch With the unladen platform raised and suspended on the wire ropes, check at each cross-member end that there is a clearance of approx. 0 to 0.5 mm between the switch roller and the cam that is part of the sensor. If necessary, adjust the position of the switch in order to obtain this clearance (Fig.
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Checking the ram safety valve Should a hose fail, this valve stops the lift from lowering by locking up the fluid in the ram. Correct operation of this valve is depends on the correct oil grade/viscosity, it should be checked whether the oil is of the correct grade before carrying out this test.
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 COMMISSIONING THE AUXILIARY LIFT • Turn the handle on the three way valve to ‘AUXILIARY’. • In the enclosure (X5), put a link wire between terminals 8 and 9 in order to deactivate the photo cell. •...
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 OPERATION Safety instructions (The following information must be displayed on a label on the control column) • The danger zone is the area around and including the lift. This can be defined by a 50mm wide yellow/black line or self-adhesive tape, a minimum of 600mm around the outer edges of the lift column bases and access ramps.
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 Lowering the platform • Check that there are no personnel, tools or equipment in the danger zone. • Raise the platform 20-30mm to allow the latches to be released. • Turn the control knob towards ‘LOWER’ and whilst holding it there, progressively operate the ‘LOWER’...
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 RAM SAFETY VALVE This valve is located in the hydraulic supply in the base of each of the rams. Should the supply hose rupture, the valve stops the platform from being lowered by trapping the oil in the ram. NOTE: If the valve in the slave ram is operated (in the right-hand track), the solenoid valve causes the left- hand track to be brought to rest (this solenoid is controlled by the photoelectric control sensor).

493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 MAINTENANCE General The lift and suspension parts (wire ropes) and safety systems must be examined at least every six months by an authorised competent person More frequent checks will be necessary if the lift is continual use. The lift must be thoroughly examined following any major repair or modification involving its main components.
493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 • Check the columns and the tie-rods under the ends of the fixed track. • Replace the plastic studs that guide the vertical cross-member cheek plates into the columns, if they are worn. • Clean and wipe dry the ladders, then rub them with an oiled rag to protect them from rust. •...

493 9021 QUADRA 493 9031 REMEDIAL MEASURES A) Check and if necessary consult a competent person. To lower the platform without electrical power, refer to page opposite. B) The electrical supply must be checked by a competent person. C) If necessary, unload the platform and check that none of the cross-member ends are resting against the column base plates. If necessary, adjust the nuts on the wire rope end fittings until the cross-member end is lifted, and then adjust the wire ropes.
