Scrapping When your machine’s working life is over and it can no longer be used, it must be made inoperative by removing any connection to power sources. These units are considered as special waste material, and should be broken down into uniform parts and disposed of in compliance with current laws and regulations.
Product Identifi cation The identifi cation data of the machine are shown in the serial plate placed on the power side column. The removal of the serial plate is strictly forbidden. Machines may be updated or slightly modifi ed from an aesthetic point of view and, as a consequence, they may present different features from these shown, this without prejudicing what has been described herein.
Packing, Transport, Storage Only skilled personnel who are familiar with the lift and this manual shall be allowed to carry out packing, lifting, handling, transport and unpacking operations. Packing The packing of the lift is delivered in following components: • N. 1 base unit packed in a steel frame, wrapped up in non-scratch material, including all the accessories.
Storage And Stacking Of Packages Packages must be stored in a covered place, out of direct sunlight and in low humidity, at a temperature between -10°C and +40°C. Delivery And Check Of Packages When the lift is delivered, check for possible damages due to transport and storage;...
Lift Description The lift is suitable for lifting motor vehicles having maximum weight as described in the nameplate on the power side column of the lift. All mechanical parts such as columns, carriages and lift arms have been built in steel plate to make the frame stiff and strong while keeping a low weight.
Hydraulic Power Unit Figure 4 – Hydraulic Power Unit Use wear proof oil for hydraulic drive, in conformity with ISO 6743/4 rules (HM class). The oil with features similar to those shown in the table is recommended. Test standards Features Value ASTM D 1298 Density 20°C...
Safety Read this chapter carefully and completely because it contains important information for the safety of the operator and the person in charge of maintenance. The lift has been designed and built for lifting vehicles and making them stand above level in a closed area. any other use is forbidden.
• Be sure only authorized vehicles are lifted without exceeding the maximum lifting capacity; • Verify that no one is on the arms during lifting or standing. Safety Device To avoid overloading and possible breaking, the following safety devices have been used: •...
Installation Only skilled technicians, appointed by the manufacturer, or by authorized dealers, must be allowed to carry out installation. Serious damage to people and to the lift can be caused if installations are made by unskilled personnel. Always refer to the exploded views attached during installation. Tool Required Rotary Hammer Drill D.19 Hex-Key/Allen Wrench Set...
Floor Requirement The lift MUST be installed on 3000 PSI concrete with the minimum thickness 4” and an extension of at least 5 feet from anchoring points. New concrete must be adequately cured by at least 21 days minimum. Specifi cations of concrete must be adhered to. Failure to do so could cause lift failure resulting in personal injury or death.
Page 23
Anchoring Columns The requirements for column’s square-ness and plumb must be adhered to. Failure to do so could cause lift failure resulting in personal injury or death. • Use the base plate on the column as the guide, drill each hole in the concrete approximately 150mm deep with the rotary hammer drill D.19.

7.13 Connection Of Hydraulic Hoses When routing the hydraulic hose, make sure that the hose is clear of any moving part. Make sure to keep the hoses clean from dust. Make sure not to over-tighten the hose fi ttings so as to result in oil leakage.
7.14 Make The Electrical Connection The hookup work must be carried out by a qualifi ed electrician. Make sure that the power supply is right. Make sure the connection of the phases is right. Improper electrical hook-up can damage motor and will not be covered under warranty.
7.16 Installation Of Arms • Raise the carriages to a convenient height; • Install the swing arms on the carriages using the included pins as shown; • Check for proper engagement of the arm lock – the teeth on the lock should fully engage the gear on the arm.
Page 30
7.17.3 EQUALIZER CABLE FOR PROPER INSTALLATION The equalizer cables should be checked weekly for equal tension. Failure to do this will cause uneven lifting. The cables should always be adjusted so that they are equal tension when resting on the safety locks. •...
Operation And Use NEVER operate the lift with any person or equipment below. NEVER exceed the rate lifting capacity. NEVER lift a vehicle in any manner with less than four arms. Always ensure that the mechanical locks are engaged before any attempt is made to work on or near the vehicle.
Lift operation can be summarized into four steps: Vehicle Positioning • Positioning the vehicle between columns; • Adjust lift arms so that the vehicle is positioned with the center gravity between the pads. Make sure the arm safeties are engaged; •...
Maintenance Only trained people who know how the lift works, can be allowed to service the lift. To service properly the lift, the following has to be carried out: • use only genuine spare parts as well as equipment suitable for the work required;...
Periodic Maintenance • Check hydraulic connections and hoses for leaks • Check mechanical locks audibly and visually while in operation Daily pre-operation • Check arm locks • Check bolts, nuts and screws are tight • Check all cable connections, pins and bolts to insure proper mounting •...
