other remains in operation to prevent the lift from falling involuntarily
The lifting pistons have a parachute valve that locks the cylinder in case the oil cable is blanked
The machine is also equipped with an acoustic signal and a safety stop (Figure 3, [1]) in order to
avoid crushing the operator's feet during descent After pressing the descent button, a buzzer
starts to sound as a security alarm The lift stops when the work surface reaches about 40 cm from
the ground In order to complete the descent to the ground, the operator must move away from
the work surface and simultaneously press the descent (DOWN) and safety (SAFETY BAR) buttons,
located on the control unit

This Operator must pay maximum attention to all transport phases
Do not allow any other person to stand in the operating area of the forklift truck in
order to prevent the accidental fall of the boxes
During the unloading phase, in any case, pay attention to the vehicles and people in transit
Make sure there are not many holes in the floor or on the high slope ramps for the vehicle used, in
relation to the load carried; always proceed at low speed with the means of transport
The unloading from the wooden pallet of the cardboard packaging containing the lifting bench,
carried out manually by no less than four Operators equipped with workshop gloves, must be
done near the location where the machine will be installed
4.4 Receipt and check
The packaging is made of suitable material and is carried out by expert personnel, but during the

5 Installation section
The machine must be installed in compliance with the safety regulations and instructions included
in this chapter
WARNING: COMPLETELY remove the wooden sleepers located under the lifting
platform by removing the fixing screws before using the machine
The machine does not need a base, but requires a flat and horizontal floor The floor must be able
to support a minimum weight of 1000 kg/m2
The lifting platform must be placed in such a way as to allow the Operator to easily repair the
loaded vehicles
The lift must therefore be installed by taking into account the minimum distances from walls or
other possible boundaries (boundaries are imaginary lines that delimit the work or safety areas of
other machines or structures)
The ascent/descent ramp must be positioned so that the vehicle can be easily lifted The ramp
must not be directed towards an obstacle that is too close to the vehicle lifting platform
WARNING It is absolutely forbidden to position the lifting platform on bumpy or
inclined ground
Bring the machine to the place of installation by using a mechanical lift, unpack it and place it in
the chosen area
To install the machine, fix it to the floor with 4 dowels M10 x 100 mm, using the appropriate holes
(used to fix the sleepers)

Figure 5 – Ascent ramp
In the same way, in order to allow the ramp to be dismantled, the work surface must be
positioned at a height less than 40 cm
5.2 Power supply
Electric pump - Connect the electric cable to the power grid using the plug (not supplied),
according to the regulations in force in the country of use The socket must be grounded
TECHNICAL DATA OF THE ELECTRIC MOTOR
Use voltage 220/230 V. Frequency 50 Hz. Absorbed power 1kW Use
voltage 110/115 V. Frequency 60Hz. Absorbed power 1kW
WARNING: In the electronic or electro-hydraulic version, the lifting platform is
equipped with an electronic board that transforms the low-voltage current to
prevent the electrocution risk A fuse calibrated on the amperage of the stable
230V power supply is located inside this board
It is forbidden to replace/tamper with this fuse with one of a higher
resistance/amperage
