Chapter 3 Packing, Transport and Storage
3.1 Packing
The packing of the lift is delivered in following components:
⚫columns wrapped up in non-scratch material sealed with 2 straps, each 2 columns packed in one
package
⚫runways each wrapped up in non-scratch material
⚫transverse beams each wrapped in non-scratch material
⚫jack wrapped up in non-scratch material
⚫power unit and the control panel and other accessories packed in a plywood box
⚫ramps wrapped in non-scratch material
(If customer has special request the packing will also be changed accordingly).
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 the Package
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).

Chapter 6 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.
Any use of the lift other than that herein specified can cause serious accidents to
people in close proximity of the machine.
6.2 Risk for the 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.

17 / 32
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.
6.5 Slipping Risk
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 Risk
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 Risk Resulting from improper lighting
Make sure all areas next to the lift are well and uniformly lit, according to local
regulations.
6.8 Risk 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”.

18 / 32
6.9 Risk 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
6.10 Risk during vehicle lifting and working
To avoid overloading and possible breaking during lifting and working, the following safety
devices have been used:
• A maximum 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.
• A special design of the safety mechanism
built in each column to prevent the lift
from sudden lowering in case of the cable
failure.
It is strictly forbidden to modify any safety device. Always ensure the safety
device for proper operation during the service.

19 / 32
Chapter 7 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.
Always refer to the exploded views attached during installation.
7.1 Tools for installation
✟Rotary Hammer Drill ￠16 ✟Hex-Key/Allen Wrench Set
✟Masonry Bit ✟Crow Bar for Shim Installation
✟Hammer ✟Chalk Line
✟Level ✟Medium Cross Screwdriver
✟Open-End Wrench Set ✟Medium Flat Screwdriver
✟Medium Crescent Wrench ✟Tape Measure
7.2 Checking for room suitability
The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places.
The place of installation must not be next to washing areas, painting workbenches, solvent or
varnish deposits. The installation near to rooms, where a dangerous situation of explosion can
occur, is strictly forbidden. The relevant standards of the local Health and Safety at Work
regulations, for instance, with respect to minimum distance to wall or other equipment, must be
observed.
7.3 Lighting
Lighting must be carried out according to the effective regulations of the place of installation.
All areas next to the lift must be well and uniformly lit.
7.4 Installation surface
The lift must be placed concrete surface sufficiently resistant. The surface must be suitable
for bearing maximum stress values, also in unfavorable working conditions. New concrete
must be adequately cured by at least 10 days minimum. For installations on raised surface,
compliance with the maximum carrying capacity of the surface is recommended.
A level floor is suggested for proper installation. Small differences in floor
slope may be compensated for by proper shimming. Any major slope change will
affect the level lifting performance. If a floor is of questionable slope please
consider to pour the new concrete slab.
7.5 Site Layout
• Determine which end of the lift will be approach side.
• Determine which side the power-side runway (with the hydraulic cylinder attached) will
be located on. Remember that the power-side runway must be installed on the same side
as the power-side column.
• For 4-post lift please do not make foundation hole for fixing bolt before you set up the lift and
adjust it well. Normally people firstly get lift, set it up, adjust then fix the post. If you prepare
the bolt hole in the foundation before lift arrival it is not a good idea.
