KEEP THIS MANUAL IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FURTHER REFERENCE This product has been designed to be used as a lifting device for cars and light transport vehicles up to a maximum weight of 4300 Kg. For rear wheel alignment, the lift is equipped with slip plates adjustable in three direc- tions, transverse, longitudinal and diagonal, to allow all the movements necessary for the adjustments.
GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS This equipment is for professional use only. WARNING Only one operator may work with the equipment at a time. The lift must only be used by specifically trained, authorised staff. Any tampering with or modification of the equipment not authorised in advance by the manufacturer relieves the latter of responsibility for damage deriving from or due to such procedures.
UNPACKING After removing the packaging make sure that the equipment’s various components are undamaged, by checking that there are no visibly damaged parts (control unit, lift struc- ture). In case of damage do not use the equipment (the lift) and contact professionally qualified staff (your dealer).
Work environment conditions - Relative humidity: from 30% to 95% without condensation. - Temperature range: from 0°C to 40°C. INSTALLATION After unpacking, position the parts ready for assembly. During the handling phase, neces- sary to find the right positioning of the lift on the ground, suitable slings or chains must be used (fig.
Page 11
Procedure for fitting the dowels The lift must be fixed to the floor; for this operation, the following devices are neces- sary: 1. Hammer drill for drilling concrete, with 12 mm bit. 2. 16 FISCHER expansion plugs for heavy fixing duty, type FH II 12/50 H (or equivalent model produced by other manufacturers).
Page 12
WARNING Any damage deriving from failure to follow the instructions given above cannot be charged to the manufacturer and may cause the warranty to become null and void. WARNING When choosing the installation site, current regulations on safety at work must be complied with.

Hydraulic system connection Proceed as follows to connect the lift hydraulically to the control unit: 1. Remove the control unit door by unscrewing the 4 fixing screws 2. Remove the protective cover 3. Extract the hydraulic pipes under the main lift runways. 4.
Page 15
Compressed air connection Proceed as follows to connect the lift pneumatically to the control unit: 1. Remove the control unit door by unscrewing the 4 fixing screws. 2. Extract the pneumatic pipes under the main lift runways. 3. Connect the pneumatic pipes to the pressure regulator, by following the numbers indicated in figure 9.
ELECTRICAL HOOK-UP The procedure for connection of the electrical system comprises the following phases: - Connecting to the electricity mains - Connecting position sensor transducers (potentiometers) - Connecting the lighting system (if any). Note. For simplicity, the position sensor transducers are referred to in this manual as “POTENTIOMETERS”...
Page 17
Connecting the potentiometers Connect the potentiometers as follows: Remove the control unit door. Turn the master switch to "0" and remove the unit controls cover. Unwind the bundle of potentiometer wires on the lift, and lay them along the chosen route to the control unit.
SAFETY DEVICE SPECIFICATIONS The lift is provided with safety devices which grant the user the maximum security the event of failure. The safety devices are the following: Mechanical device: this device is essentially composed of a claw and a rack (see fig. 11), and immediately stops the sudden descent of the lift (within 100 mm height) in the event of hydraulic line failure or a blow-out in the circuit.
Page 19
Electronic aligner (fig. 13): this device consists of 2 position transducers (potentiometers) and the electronic control board. The electronic control board reads the signals from the two position transducers to check continuously whether the misalignment of the two runways has reached or exceeded 50 mm;...

COMMISSIONING WARNING The lift must be commissioned by specially trained staff capable of ensuring that the lift and all its mechanical and electrical safety systems are operating correctly. The instructions to be followed are provided at the back of this manual, in a section for the use of authorised commissioning staff only.
Page 25
CAUTION Keep the working area clean. Never use compressed air, water jets or aggressive chemical substances to remove dirt or traces from the machine. When cleaning, try as far as possible to avoid generating or raising dust. Maintenance by unauthorised staff is strictly forbidden. To ensure the machine remains in good working order and operates correctly, it is essen- tial to follow the instructions given below, carrying out cleaning and routine maintenance every 1000 working hours.
LIFT USAGE The lift must be used by authorised personnel only. Remember that any use by staff not familiar with the procedures specified in this manual might cause dangers. Position the machine as follows: MAIN LIFT Positioning the vehicle: after positioning the vehicle on the lane of the lift be sure that the wheels are as centred as possible on the centre line of the lanes, then block the parking brake of the vehicle to avoid dangerous movements.
until the safety devices of both runways are firmly engaged with the teeth underneath. Now release the button. Built-in lift-table quick positioning: remove the padlock from the master switch and switch on the machine; press the F button and the LT Quick positioning button (5+8) simultane- ously.

The solid line outline of the plates indicates the initial position of the plate (rest position), while the dotted line outline indicates the end position (control activated). The play detector controls are located on the control torch. The configuration of the torch is different for the 2 and 6 movement play detectors.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES The lift has two emergency modes: - MAIN LIFT MANUAL EMERGENCY - BUILT-IN LIFT TABLE MANUAL EMERGENCY ----- for version with LT only These two modes are intended for handling emergency situations which may arise due to malfunction, incorrect loading, power failure, etc.. The purpose is to enable the operator to retract the runways of the lift in order to allow for removal of the vehicle.
Page 32
Manual emergency operation on built-in lift table LT (Fig. 18) To lower the free-wheel lift table in the event of a power failure, proceed as follows: 1) turn off the master switch 2) open the control unit cabinet door 3) press and hold button A on pneumatic solenoid valve YV9 to raise the mechanical safety devices.
LAY-OFFS If the lift is to be out of use for a long period, disconnect the energy supplies, empty the tank(s) containing operating liquids and protect any parts which might be damaged by dust. SCRAPPING If the lift is to be decommissioned, it must be made unusable by removing the control unit com- ponents (the hydraulic pump and electric motor) from the control unit.
RECOMMENDED FIRE EXTINGUISHING EQUIPMENT When choosing the most suitable fire extinguisher consult the following table: Dry combustibles Inflammable liquids Electrical equipment Water Foam Powder YES* YES* YES* Can be used in the absence of more appropriate methods or to control small fire outbreaks WARNING This table contains general instructions to be used as guidelines for the users.
Mineral oil: first aid procedures - Swallowing: go to Casualty with the characteristics of the type of oil swallowed. - Inhaling: in case of exposure to strong concentration of vapours or mists, take the af- fected person out into the open air and then to Casualty. - Eyes: rinse with plenty of water and go to Casualty as soon as possible.
