COLUMN INSTALLATION
a) Remove column front facia by removing perimeter.
b) Remove the motor gearbox assembly.
c) Locate column lower corner with the last step bullnose.
d) Use no.12 wood screw for column anchoring.

GUIDE RAILS INSTALLATION
(SELF SUPPORTING)
If the adjacent wall is not strong enough to support the reactions stated in the
installation drawing, it is feasible to install self supporting legs on each step.
These legs shall be evenly distributed, the same way as the stud would be
located in a standard wall. The maximum spand between 2 legs is 16’’.
a) Locate the legs on each step, plumb.
b) Use all mounting holes
c) Use only specified anchors on the installation drawing
d) Use ¼-20 UNC screw for rail mounting on the legs.
Anchors legs example

GUIDE RAIL INSTALLATION
(STUD WALL)
Guide rail will be shipped already assembled with spacers or screwed on
plywood. The installer needs to join he column to the rail itself using the metal
bracket ‘’ RACCORD’’ already installed on the column.
a) Place the rail assembly on the wall
b) Screw the rail ‘’Raccord’’ to the upper rail end
c) Locate anchoring structure in the supporting wall
d) Screw each Rail into each anchoring structure
e) Use only no.12 wood screw for wooden stud wall.
f) Use only ¼-20 UNC for steel structure.
g) Reinstall metal covers
Anchoring Structure Example

PLATFORM INSTALLATION
a) Install platform on rail by inserting Charriot #2 in the rail. Make sure to
leave about 1/8’’ gap between chariot #4 wheel bolts heads and the inside
face of the rail.
b) Slide in chariot #1 between back of platform and supporting wall
c) Slide the bolts in the arc shaped slots
d) Make sure all wheels are running on the rail surface, otherwise adjust
chariot accordingly. Tight in place and add cotter pins on each bolt.
e) Attach the lifting chain to the safety brake using the #50 quick link
provided with the chain.
f) Install the upper mechanical stop.
g) Remove the brake lock screw. ( Front panel will not fit otherwise )
h) Make all electrical connections as per schemes BEC03 9X9 au BEC04Z3

SAFETY ARMS
a) Install lower arm by using the provided bolts un the platform structure
b) Install the (gas spring or linear actuator)** on the lower arm lever
c) Join the lower and upper arm in the arm joint
d) Install the upper arm the same way the lower arm was installed
e) Install the (gas spring or linear actuator)** on the upper arm lever
f) Install the flaps cables on both arms and adjust so those flats are more
than 45˚ with the horizontal in the uppermost position.
g) Adjust the arm switch in such way that electrical circuit is opened when
one of the arms is more than 15˚ with the horizontal.
**NOTE:
MANUAL ACTION VEHICULE REQUIRE GAS SPRING
AUTOMATIC ACTION REQUIRE LINEAR ACTUATOR
ARM JOINT
FLAP CABLE

11
FLOOR
a) Install the (gas spring or linear actuator)** on the floor rocker
b) Adjust the floor level with ½ nominal weight (250 LBS)
c) Adjust all floor level switches so that a 15˚ will open the circuit
**NOTE:
MANUAL ACTION VEHICULE REQUIRE GAS SPRING
AUTOMATIC ACTION REQUIRE LINEAR ACTUATOR
FINALIZING
a) Install the lower call station
b) Rout the electrical power to the cut off
c) Install screw covers on rails
d) Install front platform cover

INSPECTION
Titan

13
BEFORE SERVICING
a) Run a safety brake functional test
b) Check the alarm and E-stop while traveling
c) Check the emergency lighting by cutting the main breaker off, not the cut-
off.
d) Check the underpan safety by lowering the platform and activate the
circuit.
e) Make sure Flaps are working fine, and that the platform will not move if
flaps are down.
f) Double check all structure bolts torques
g) Run a safety test in case of failure
h) Run a couple of complete travels of the elevator.
SAFETY BRAKE TEST
a) Jam the lowering of the vehicule with the means of a 2X4 stud about 1M
long
b) Lower the platform frame against the stud in order to create a chain loose
c) Stay away from the platform trajectory and wipe out the stud with the
means of a rope.
d) Platform must stop in less than 60mm measured along the travel line.
e) Chain must be still loose, meaning the brake really stopped the car.
f) All command must be inhibited
g) Use the manual moving device to lift the platform and release the safety
brake.
h) Rearm the safety brake and the manual reset safety switch
i) Reset the controller

MANUAL MOVING OF THE PLATFORM

15
BATTERY CHARGER TEST PROCEDURE
a) Unplug the charger unit from the 120Vac socket
b) Run 5 complete travel in order to partially discharge the battery bank
c) Make sure the electrical connections are connected such as the red
terminal is on the positive electrode and the black on the negative
terminal.
d) Using an ampmeter, measure the charging current on the red wire.
e) If current is over 1/2A, chargers are fine
f) Once the battery are charged, the pilot light must remain off

16
TEST PROCEDURE IN CASE OF FAILURE
This procedure explains how to test the protection in case of failure. This
procedure must be followed only by certified technicinans.
DANGER: THIS TEST PROCEDURE WILL CAUSE

GROUNDING
This test will prove that over current protection devices are working fine and
will protect the electrical equipment in case of short circuit. Connect the
negative terminal from an ohmmeter to the negative terminal of the battery
bank. Measure electrical resistivity between battery negative terminal and:
Electrical enclosure mounting plate
Ternimanl 61 into each contrôller
Metallic points around each switch
Metallic points around call station
Ruide Rails
Platform frame
Underpan
Flap
Column
Each meausre must be under 0.3Ω
