Packing, Transport, Storage 9
TD6MR
Packing, Transport, Storage
3.1 Packing
The packing of the lift is delivered in following components:
• N. 1 base units packed in a steel frame, wrapped up in non-scratch material
• N. 1 portable power unit packed in a plywood box, including N. 4 rubber pads
The average weight of the package is 600kg.
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 center 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 10

Product Description
Lift Description (Ref. Figure 1)
This portable lift has been designed for the lifting of motor-vehicles for
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 chapter 8.
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 a frame
(1), N.4 lifting arms (2), N.2 pair of scissors (3) and N.2 cylinders (4), can be
movable by means of wheels (5). The lifting and lowering motion is carried out
by operation of the lifting button and the lowering lever on the control unit (6).
The mechanical safety (7) operating manually is installed between 2 cylinders.

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 platforms 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 platforms during lifting or standing.

Safety 17
TD6MR
6.2 Risks During Vehicle Lifting
To avoid overloading and possible breaking, the following safety devices have
been used:
• a maximum pressure valve placed inside the hydraulic unit to prevent
excessive weight.
• a special design of the hydraulic system, in case of pipeline failure, to
prevent sudden lift lowering.
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.
6.3 Risks For People
All risks the personnel could run, due to an improper use of the lift, are
described in this section.
6.4 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.
6.5 Bumping Risk
When the lift is stopped at relatively low height for working, the risk of bumping
against projecting parts occurs.
6.6 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.

Safety 18
TD6MR
6.7 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.
6.8 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.
6.9 Risks Resulting From Improper Lighting
Make sure all areas next to the lift are well and uniformly lit, according to local
regulations.
6.10 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”.
6.11 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.
Any use of the lift other than that herein specified can cause
serious accidents to people in close proximity of the machine.

Installation 19
TD6MR
Installation
Only skilled technicians, appointed by the manufacturer, or by
authorized dealers, must be allowed to carry out installation.
Serious damage to people and to the lift can be caused if
installations are made by unskilled personnel.
7.1 Checking For Place Suitability
The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places free of
overhead obstructions. The working place must not be next to washing areas,
painting workbenches, solvent or varnish deposits. The relevant standards of
the local Health and Safety at Work regulations, for instance, with respect to
minimum distance to wall or other equipment, escapes and the like, must be
observed. All areas next to the lift must be well and uniformly lit.
7.2 Concrete Surface
The lift must be placed on the concrete surface sufficiently resistant. The
surface must be suitable for bearing maximum stress values, also in unfavorable
working conditions. The surface must be perfectly leveled.

7.4 Make The Electrical Hookup To Hydraulic Power Unit
The hookup work must be carried out by a qualified electrician.
Make sure that the power supply is right.
Make sure the connection of the phases is right. Improper
electrical hook-up can damage motor and will not be covered
under warranty.
DO NOT run the hydraulic unit with no oil. Damage to pump can
occur.
The power unit must be kept dry.
• Fix the control panel onto the power-side column using the included screws.
• Make the electric hookup to the power unit referring to the attached the
electric diagram figure 5 using the included electric cable.
• Make sure the connection of the phases is right and lift is grounded.
7.5 Start
• Make sure all pins and bolts to insure proper mounting
• Make sure the electrical system feeding voltage is equal to that specified in
the nameplate on the motor
• Make sure the electric connections are in compliant with diagrams figure 5
• Make sure no leakage or blow-up in hydraulic line
• Make sure the working area is free from people and objects
• Grease sliding seats of blocks placed under platforms and on bases
• Pour oil in the tank (about 5 liters more than one time)
• Verify that the control unit is powered
• Verify that the motor direction of rotation is that shown on the label by
pushing the lifting button. IF MOTOR GETS HOT OR SOUNDS PECULIAR,
STOP IMMEDIATELY AND RECHECK THE ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
