408-SL
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.
3.1 Packing
The packing of the lift is shown in the figure 1. Base unit packed in a steel
frame, wrapped up in non-scratch material. Power unit packed in a carton box.
The package weight is about 1984 LBS. If requested, optional accessories are
available to satisfy each customer’s requirements.
Figure 1 – Package
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, center of gravity, and it’s fragile parts.

Packing, Transport, Storage 10
408-SL
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 14°F and +104°F. 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 lift 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 lift (be careful the objects
do not drop from the package when opening).

Lift Description 11
408-SL
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. The electro hydraulic
operation is described in detail in chapter 8.
This chapter describes the lift’s principal elements, allowing the user to be
familiar with the machine. As shown in figure 2, the lift is composed of four
columns: 1 power-side column (1), 3 off-side columns (2), two platforms: the
power-side platform (3) and the off-side platform (4), and two transverse beams
(5), anchored to the ground by means of the column base plates.
Raising motion is carried out by pushing the lifting button on the power unit (6)
to operate a power unit delivering the hydraulic fluid to cylinders to act on cable
lifting system. Lowering motion is controlled by pressing the lowering lever on
the power unit and carried out under the weight of the load lifted.
The automatic back-up lock holds on the lift in the elevated position, can be
released by pressing the latch release lever (7). The slack cable lock in each
end of transverse beam can hold on the lift in event of cable slackening and/or
failure. The caster kit (8) can be ordered as an option to move the lift.

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.
The manufacturer is not liable for possible damages to people,
vehicles, or objects resulting from an improper or unauthorized
use of the lift.
For operator and people safety, a safety area at least 3 feet away from the lift
must be vacated during lifting and lowering. The lift must be operated only from
the operator’s control site in this safety area.
Operator’s presence under the vehicle, during working, is only admitted when
the vehicle is lifted and the safety lock is engaged.
Never use the lift when safety devices are off-line. People, the
lift and the vehicles lifted can be seriously damaged if these
instructions are not followed.
6.1 General Warnings
The operator and the person in charge of maintenance must follow accident-
prevention laws and rules in force in the country where the lift is installed.
Any use of the lift other than that herein specified can cause
serious accidents to people in close proximity of the machine.
They also must carry out the following:
• Neither remove nor disconnect hydraulic, electric or other safety devices;
• Carefully follow the safety indications applied on the machine and included
in the manual;
• Observe the safety area during lifting;
• Be sure the motor of the vehicle is off, the gear engaged, and the parking
brake is on;

Safety 18
408-SL
• Be sure only authorized vehicles are lifted without exceeding the maximum
lifting capacity;
• Verify that no one is on the runways during lifting or standing.
6.2 Risks For People
All risks the personnel could run, due to an improper use of the lift, are
described in this section.
6.3 Personnel Crushing Risks
During lowering of runways and vehicles, personnel must not be within the
area covered by the lowering trajectory. The operator must be sure no one is in
danger before operating the lift.
Fig. 7a Fig. 7b Fig. 7c
6.4 Risk Of The Vehicle Falling From The Lift
Vehicle falling from the lift can be caused when the vehicle is improperly placed
on platforms, and when its dimensions are incompatible with the lift or by
excessive movement of the vehicle.
In this case, keep immediately away from the working area.
Fig. 8a Fig. 8b Fig. 8c

Safety 19
408-SL
6.5 Slipping Risks
The risk of slipping can be caused by oil or dirt on the floor near the lift.
Keep the area under and around the lift clean. Remove all oil
spills.
6.6 Electrocution Risks
Avoid use of water, steam, solvent, and varnish jets in the
lift area where electric cables are placed and, in particular,
next to the electric panel.
Fig. 9
6.7 Risks Resulting From Improper Lighting
Make sure all areas next to the lift are well and uniformly lit, according to local
regulations.
6.8 Risks Of Breaking Component During Operation
Materials and procedures, suitable for the designed
parameters of the lift, have been used by the manufacturer
to build a safe and reliable product. Operate the lift only for
the use it has been designed for and follow the maintenance
schedule shown in the chapter “Maintenance”.
Fig. 10
6.9 Risks For Unauthorized Uses
The presence of unauthorized persons next to the lift and
on the platforms is strictly forbidden during lifting as well
as when the vehicle has been already lifted
Fig. 11

Safety 20
408-SL
6.10 Risks During Vehicle Lifting And Working
To avoid overloading and possible breaking during lifting and working, the
following safety devices have been used:
• A pressure valve placed inside the hydraulic unit to prevent excessive
weight.
The maximum pressure valve has been preset by the
manufacturer to a proper pressure. DO NOT try to adjust it to
overrun the rated lifting capacity.
• Automatic back-up safety holds on the lift in the elevated position.
• Slack cable lock in event of cable slackening and/or failure.
It is strictly forbidden to modify any safety device. Always
ensure the safety device for proper operation during the service.
