For your safety, read this manual carefully before installing or using this product.
The miniLIFT is a scissor lift with two pneumatic actuators and small size designed for those workshops
where is able to lift half of the vehicle up to 2.500kg.This lift is able to carry out three different movements:
·Front side elevation
·Rear side elevation
·Special side elevation
It means that, when you lift the car, front or rear wheels will be always raised.
The miniLIFT is an easy to use and versatile product. Thanks to its handle you can move the lift without
making effort to any place of the garage and, in addition, to control the elevation of the lift.
The pneumatic system is easy to connect (you only need an air intake).

All the parts that form the elevator are sent in a simple pallet (“Figure 01”).
MANIPULATION OF THE CONTENT
Figure 01
· Place the lift in horizontal position and fix the crane to the elevator with two belts at each end, to transport
the structure correctly.
· Make sure that the tapes are in good conditions and correctly placed.
· Place the lift in the area intended for use so that the wheels are in contact with the pavement.

3.3 Start up
3.4 First use
· Connect the compressed air funnel and check the air pressure (from 6 to 9 BAR).
· Check that there are no leaks in the pneumatic ducts, the actuating valve and/or the pneumatic actuators.
· For lifting, press the pneumatic valve lever as shown in the “Figure 05”.
· For descending, press the pneumatic valve lever as shown in the “Figure 06”.

4 How it works
4.1 Installation of the pads
· Place the lifting arms into the gaps of the elevator as shown in “Figure 7”.
· Fix the basic pads in the adaptors as showb in the “Figure 8”.
In those vehicles where there are no “heel pads”, but you can find some other lifting points under the
chassis, you can use the following optional pads (not included in the basic package).
· If you got these optional pads, you should follow the “Figure 09”.

4.2 Positioning of the elevator
· Drive the lift by the handle and position it under the vehicle according to the desired part to be lifted
(“Figure 10”). See sections 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6.
· Follow the steps specified in the “Figure 11” for placing the handle in horizontal position.
DANGER
Use always the lift in areas with no obstructions neither inclinations.
CAUTION
The elevator must remain perpendicular to the length of the car (“Figure 12”).
If the vehicle is new or it’s wet, you must clean the area where the pads work, to prevent
any possible slide.
