Packing / Transport / Storage
3.1 Packing
The packing of the lift is shown in the figure 1: N. 1 base unit packed in a steel
frame, wrapped up in non-scratch material, including all accessories and the
package of power unit.
The package weight is about 4100 lbs.
If requested, optional accessories are available to satisfy each customer’s
requirements.

Packing / Transport / Storage 10
PVL14OF-EXT
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.
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°C and +40°C.
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).

Product Description 11
PVL14OF-EXT
Product 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 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 four
columns: N.2 front columns (1), N.2 rear columns (2), two platforms: the
power-side platform (3) with the hydraulic cylinder included and the off-
side platform (4), and two beams: the front beam (5) and the rear bean (6),
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 (7) to operate
a power unit delivering the hydraulic fluid to cylinders to act on cable lifting
system. Lowering motion is controlled by pushing the lowering lever on the
power unit and carried out under the weight of the load lifted. The automatic
mechanical back-up safety (8) holds on the lift in the elevated position, can be
released by pushing the lever of the control valve (9). The slack cable safety
(10) can hold on the lift in event of cable slackening and/or failure.

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 1m 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 runways are not running.
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;
• 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 runways during lifting or standing.

Safety 19
PVL14OF-EXT
Any use of the lift other than that herein specified can cause
serious accidents to people in close proximity of the machine.
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. 8a Fig. 8b Fig. 8c
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.

6.6 Electrocution Risks
Avoid use of water, steam, and solvent, varnish jets in the
lift area where electric cables are placed and, in particular,
next to the electric panel.
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”.
6.9 Risks For Unauthorized Uses
