Specifications Lifting system This mobile column lift is an electrically driven hydraulic column lift for lifting heavy vehicles. A minimum of two column lifts is needed to lift a vehicle. The number of column lifts required depends on the weight of the vehicle and the number of axles. Four lifting columns are normally used.
Control system The control system on the columns ensures that raising and lowering of the column lifts is simultaneous and synchronized. Each column lift has a potentiometer that detects the height position and passes it on to the control system. The control system controls and protects the lifting system during raising and lowering in the following manner: •...
Specifications Control box The control panel on the front of the control box has all functions necessary to control the operation of the column lift. An emergency stop switch is also located on the control panel. The components of the control panel and their functions are described in chapter 5 "Operation"...
Installation Unpacking and setup Proceed as described below when unpacking and setting up each column. Warning Only use proper lifting equipment to move the column lift. Lift the column only at the points intended for this. Failure to relocate the column lift in the right manner can cause damage to the column lift and/or personal injury.
Installation Remove the stopper from the filler opening and attach the air bleed cap. Replace the protective cover on the hydraulic power unit. Check for oil leaks. Linking the column lifts The column lifts are set up in a completely closed circuit of at least 2 and at most 28 column lifts.

Installation Position the forks in such a way that they are at equal lengths in relation to the centre of the column. Position the forks in such a way that they just touch the tyre at a floor height (to ensure the rim does not sink through when the tyre has a puncture).
Operation General The mobile column lifts are designed to provide maximum flexibility and ease of use. A lifting system may consist of 2 to 28 columns in total. The following possibilities are available within the control system: • operating all column lifts simultaneously, •...
Operation These two control boxes are identical externally except that the control box of a slave column has an emergency shut-down button instead of a main switch (that is also used as an emergency stop button) and it does not have mains supply. For the functions of the switches refer to Figure 5.1 "Control boxes".
To start the vehicle lift (see Figure 5.1 "Control boxes" on page 35): Turn the mains power switch (2) to position 1 and press <SELECT>. This switches on the mains and control circuit power, and the vehicle lift is ready for use.
Operation 5.2.6 Lowering in the safety locks For lowering on the safety locks, simply press the DOWN button (4). The column lifts will then lower no more than 1 3/8", before the safety pawls engage the teeth in the safety lock profile. The drop-safeguard pawls can then no longer be released.
Press the <SELECT> button. The <ALL> light will light up to indicate the following: - the system operation has been checked to ensure its correct functioning, - the sequence of all columns is stored in the system memory - the master column in the system has been connected to the mains, - the height of every column has been saved in the memory, - the column lifts can now be operated.
Operation 5.3.3 Operation of one single column Press <SELECT> until the <SINGLE> light has been activated. Press button 3 to raise the single column or press button 4 to lower the single column. Note An acoustic signal will be emitted when “SINGLE” UP and DOWN is operational because this is an exceptional situation.
Operating procedure Before using the column lift, make certain that: • the floor where the column lifts are set up is capable of supporting the setup and the vehicle, • the installation has taken account of the need for an escape route at least 24" wide on all sides of the setup, •...
Operation 5.5.2 System functions All system functions (see Figure 5.1 "Control boxes" on page 35) are now available by pressing: <UP> (button 3) all columns rise. <DOWN> (button 4) Lowering in the safety locks <UNLOCK> (button 6) and <UP> (button 4) all column lifts lower.
Inspection and maintenance General Always completely lower the column lifts and switch off the mains power switch (position 0) during inspection and maintenance. The power may be only temporarily switched on, and the lift placed in a higher position, when required for performing certain checks and adjustments. Warning When the column lifts are in a raised position, always lower them into the safety lock.
Inspection and maintenance 6.2.3 Annual maintenance by trained lift service personnel only The user must have the column lifts inspected once a year by the Stertil technical service or another technical service authorized by Stertil (both hereafter referred to as the technical service). A maintenance subscription can be taken out with the technical service for this annual inspection.
For additional details, see chapter 7 "Service and troubleshooting" on page Table 6.1 Lubrication program Every 2 Annual years Maintenance tasks Description Monthly (technical (technical service) service) Cylinder Lubricate piston rod if dry (machine oil) Check oil level in tank Top up (only with column lifts fully lowered)
Inspection and maintenance 6.3.3 Checking the emergency shutdown mechanism Press the emergency shut-down button on the auxiliary boxes while the column lifts are moving. All column lifts must immediately come to a standstill. Turn de emergency shut-down button anticlockwise to release it and set the main switch(s) to 0 and, next, to 1.
Check for oil leaks, damage, and wear and tear. Check electrical cables and connectors for damage. If dry, lubricate piston-rod with machine oil. Spray potentiometer adjusting rod with acid-free vaseline. 6.3.5 Checking the pallet lift cylinder(s) With the pallet lifting mechanisms fully raised, hoist a vehicle of at least 8,800 lbs approximately 4".
Service and troubleshooting General Faults in the column lifts can have simple causes. Check the installation for the possible causes indicated. If troubleshooting as described below fails to correct the malfunction, please contact technical services. Most errors can be corrected without having to remove the vehicle from the column lifts.
Programmable settings In general, programming is done as follows: Open the door of the control box. Switch the main switch on and simultaneously hold the slow lowering button (tortoise) and the UNLOCK button until a flashing 60 is displayed on the display. - Button 3 (IP): selection of programs 60 to 67.
