operations.

Packing; Transport; Storage 10
FM9SL
Packing; Transport; Storage
3.1 Packing
The packing of the lift is delivered in following components:
• 2 base units each packed in a steel frame, wrapped up in non-scratch
material
• 1 power unit packed in a plywood box, including 8 rubber pads and 8
anchor bolts
(If requested, optional accessories are available to satisfy each customer’s
requirements).
The average weight of the package is 2,025 lbs.
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.
Hoist and handle only one package at a time
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
4.1 Lift Description (Ref. Figure 1)
The flush mounted lift has been designed for the lifting of motor-vehicles for
wheel alignment and maintenance. The maximum lifting weight is as specified
on the serial plate.
All mechanical frames, such as platforms, extensions, base frames and 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 the
“Operation And Use” chapter.
This chapter describes the lift’s principal elements, allowing the user to be
familiar with the machine.
As shown in figure 1, the lift is composed of two platforms: P1 (1) and P2 (2),
each equipped with the telescopic extension (3) on front and rear sides, anchored
to the pit foundation by means of two bases (4). Platforms are linked to the base
frame by means of a scissor lifting system. The lifting system of each platform is
composed of a pair of scissors (5) and a cylinder (6). Lifting and lowering motion
of the lift is controlled by the push buttons on the control unit (7) placed next to
the lift.
The mechanical safety operating by a pneumatic cylinder is installed under each
runway. Two limit switches are installed in the P2 base: for top position limit and
for the safety height limit.

Product Description 13

Figure 1 – Lift
4.2 Operation
Platform lifting is carried out by the hydraulic unit which acts upon the cylinders.
The platforms are raised simultaneously owing cross feeding of the hydraulic
cylinders. Lowering, even though electrically controlled, is carried out by the
weight of both the platforms and the load lifted.
The hydraulic system is protected by a max pressure valve thus preventing
pressure from exceeding the maximum fixed safety limit. The synchronization of
the platforms is carried out by a master/slave circuit.
Whenever the lift has to be lowered to the ground and the lowering button is
pressed, the lift will stop at about 16” from the ground.
In this way, the operator must verify that neither persons nor objects are within
the safety area. If so, the final lowering button can be pressed and the lift be
lowered. A beeping sound is heard during the last travel.
