Lift Description 11
BP12000X
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. 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 two columns: power-side column
(1) and off-side column (2), each equipped with a carriage (3) and a pair of
lifting arms (4) with the adaptor (5) anchored to the ground by means of base
plates of columns. The base plate (6) is used to protect routed lines between
columns. Raising motion is carried out by pushing the lifting button on a power
unit (7) which delivers
the hydraulic fluid to
cylinders inside the
columns to act on the
chain system to raise
the lift.
Lowering the vehicle
by pushing down the
lowering handle on
the power unit while
holding down the
safety lock handle (8).
The synchronization
is controlled by the
equalizer cables. The
arm safety can be
engaged automatically
when the lift is raised.

Safety 17
BP12000X
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 square space for a safety area at least 3 feet
free 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.
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;

Safety 18
BP12000X
• Be sure the motor of the vehicle is off, the gear engaged and the parking
brake put on;
• 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.
6.2 Safety Device
To avoid overloading and possible breaking, the following safety devices have
been used:
• A pressure overload valve built inside the hydraulic power unit to prevent
excessive weight.
The pressure overload valve has been preset by the
manufacturer to a proper pressure. DO NOT try to adjust it to
overrun the rated lifting capacity.
• Mechanical safeties built in each carriage with automatic engagement for
lifting safety.
It is strictly forbidden to modify any safety device. Always
ensure the safety device for proper operation during the service.

Safety 19
BP12000X
6.3 Safety Signs
