Chapter 3 – Packing, transport and storage
Only skilled personnel who are familiar with the hoist and this manual shall be allowed to carry
out packing, lifting, handling, transport and unpacking operations.
3.1 Transport and package removal
ATTENTION: moving and positioning operations can be very dangerous if not performed with
the utmost caution. Send bystanders away; clean, clear and delimit the installation site;
check the integrity and suitability of the available means; do not touch the suspended loads
and stay at a safe distance from them; move the suspended loads at not more than 20cm
height from ground; carefully follow the instructions given below; in case of doubt do not
persist.
For transport and volume reasons, the hoist is supplied partially disassembled. The different parts are joint
together to allow a safe transport and handling. Transport of the hoist must be performed by suitable means.
Avoid any damage during handling.
3.2 Lifting and handling
When loading/unloading or transporting the equipment to the site, be sure to use suitable loading
(e.g. cranes, trucks) and hoisting means. Be sure also to hoist and transport the components securely
so that they cannot drop, taking into consideration the package’s size, weight and centre of gravity
and it’s fragile parts.
Hoist and handle only one package at a time
3.3 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℃and +40℃.
Stacking is not recommended: the package’s narrow base, as well as its considerable weight and size
make it difficult and hazardous.
3.4 Delivery and check of packages
When the hoist is delivered, check for possible damages due to transport and storage, verify that
what is specified in the manufacturer’s confirmation of order is included. In case of damage in
transit, the customer must immediately inform the carrier of the problem.
Packages must be opened paying attention not to cause damage to people (Keep a safe
distance when opening straps) and parts of the hoist (be careful the objects do not drop from the
package when opening).

Chapter 4 – Product description
The hoist is composed by two symmetric vertical posts, which must be safely anchored to the
ground. The posts are equipped with lifting carriages with electro-hydraulic control system.
The hoist is operated by an electric motor controlling a hydraulic pump, which delivers the
hydraulic fluid to the cylinders at the bottom of the posts for lifting carriages with the sole
purpose of performing motor vehicle service, repairing and inspection.
Forbidden to use for washing and spraying vehicles
Forbidden to lift vehicle which weight is over 4500kg
Any other use not described is to be considered as improper and irrational, and thus it will be under
the whole responsibility of the operator.
Follow the instructions given by this guide carefully to grant the machine a correct function, efficiency
and a long working life. Keep this guide as well as all the supplied technical literature in a safe
place close to the hoist in order to help the users to consult it whenever necessary. The technical
literature is an integral part of the hoist and it must always follow the product, even in case of sale.
Follow the directions given by this guide with the utmost attention: the Constructor declines all
responsibility for any damage due to negligence and non-observance of the herewith-contained
instructions.
The non-observance of herewith-contained instructions will automatically involve the immediate
lapse of warranty.

Chapter 7 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 hoist can be
caused if installations are made by unskilled personnel.
Before carrying out any operations, remember to insert the safety piece of wood
between the lower booms and the base frame.
7.1 Checking for room suitability
The hoist has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places free of overhead
obstructions. The place of installation must not be next to washing areas, painting workbenches,
solvent or varnish deposits. The installation near to rooms, where a dangerous situation of explosion
can occur, is strictly forbidden. The relevant standards of the local Health and Safety at Work
regulations, for instance, with respect to minimum distance to wall or other equipment,
escapes and the like, must be observed.
7.2 Lighting
Lighting must be carried out according to the effective regulations of the place of installation.
All areas next to the hoist must be well and uniformly lit.
7.3 Installation surface
The hoist must be placed on level floor and sufficiently resistant. The surface must be suitable
for bearing maximum stress values, also in unfavorable working conditions. For installations on
raised surface, compliance with the maximum carrying capacity of the surface is recommended.
A level floor is suggested for proper installation. Small differences in floor slope
may be compensated for by proper shimming. Any major slope change will affect
the level lifting performance. If a floor is of questionable slope (more than
3mm side to side or 5mm within the fill length of hoist), considering to pour
the new concrete slab.

LAYOUT
1) Layout the service bay according to owners instructions Failure to install in this
orientation can result in personal and property damage.
DISASSEMBLY
2) Place a piece of lumber 600mm from each end of the packaged hoist. Remove Column
Extensions, Arms, and Hardware Box. Remove steel end brackets bolted to Columns.
Remove remaining packaging and any loose items placed inside the columns.
COLUMNS
3) With columns still horizontal, assemble Power Column Extension to Power Column using (8
sets) M10 x 20 and (2 sets)M10X15 Hex bolts, flat washers, and lock washers . The (2) Column
Extensions are not identical. IMPORTANT: The Lock Release Guide Block at top of Column
Extension should be in-line with Lock Release Pulley in Column. For the tall height
setting, use bottom holes as shown in Fig 2. For the short setting, use the upper holes. Repeat for
opposite Idler Column and Idler Column Extension.
Fig 2 - Column Extension
17

4) Assemble Overhead Mounting Bracket to the
Column Extension using (4 sets) M12 x 25 Hex
bolts, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts.
Repeat for opposite bracket and extension.
See Fig 3 below.
Fig 3 – Column Extension
5) Slide both Carriages into the first lock position
while Columns are horizontal. Ensure both locks
are engaged.
6) Using the Base Width (D) Dimension, chalk
two parallel lines (A & B) on the floor within
3mm tolerance. Chalk a third line (C)
perpendicular to lines A & B to designate fore and
aft location. Erect both Column assemblies. Align
the base plate edges to the chalk lines as seen
in Fig 4 below. Slots in front and back of base
plate should be in-line with chalk line “C”.
Fig 4 – Layout
ANCHORING
7) The anchor bolts must be installed at least
200mm from any crack, edge, or expansion joint.
8) Use a concrete hammer drill with a 20mm
carbide bit. Do not use excessively worn bits or
bits which have been incorrectly sharpened.
Never substitute with shorter anchor.
9) Recheck “Base Width” dimension. Drill the anchor
holes (Power Column Only) using the base
plate as a template. Drill through the floor if
possible or to a depth of 125mm minimum.
10) Vacuum dust from the hole for proper holding
power.
11) Shim column to plumb using the shims provided
as shown in Fig 5. DO NOT shim more than
12mm at any given point. Use a level to plumb
Columns.
12) Assemble washer and nut to anchor with nut just
below impact section of bolt. Drive anchor into
hole until nut and washer contact base.
Fig 5 – Column Shimming
13) Tighten Power Column anchors and recheck
Column for plumb. Re-shim if necessary. Torque
to 150 foot-pounds to set anchors.
18

OVERHEAD
14) Assemble two Overhead beams using (6 sets)
M10 x 20 bolt, nut, flat washer, and lock washer
as shown in Fig 6. Hand-tighten bolts to allow
adjustment if needed.
Fig 6 – Overhead
15) Use 2 sets M10X20 bolt, nut, flat washer,Install
Overhead Limit Switch bracket to the Overhead
Beam on the Power Side of the hoist. See Fig 7a:
