1.WARNINGS – SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY
BEFORE BEGINNING ANY WORKING MANOEUVRE AND COMPLY WITH THE SAFETY RULES
REGARDING THE LOAD MOVEMENT
SAFETY
•STL16 must be used only by personnel of full age, duly trained and authorised, been
provided with this instruction manual.
•The instruction manual must be read carefully and duly applied in any part.
•It is forbidden to use the machine to lift people.
•Before starting the lifting/lowering operations, make sure that the structure is clear of tools,
rags and objects of any kind.
•If there are electric cables in the operating area (because of working lights, portable tools,
etc.), be sure that they do not pass over the structure or rest on it, in order to avoid the risk
of cutting them and thus rendering the metal structure of the lift alive. This operation is
compulsory before using STL16.
•When positioning STL16 under the vehicle wheels, or under the vehicle under body (using
the supplied supports), make sure of the correct position of the lifting fork/support.
•Do not lift the load without being sure of the stability of the fork or the support.
•Do not lift the load before making sure of the efficiency of the inserted parking brake.
•Keep the load under observation, especially during the raise, to avoid incorrect inclinations
or troubles. If so, bring the load down and place the lift in such a way to have a balanced
distribution of the load.
•Comply with STL16 operating area established by the manufacturer.
•Clean the fork/support whenever it is dirtied to avoid the risk of load sliding.
•Never manipulate or unscrew any part of the lift, to avoid dangerous separations of the
parts.
•Always bring the load down to the round at the end of working hours, and avoid leaving the
lift loaded in standing position for a long period.
•Never exceed the maximum capacity of the lift Kg 1500.
•Once positioned the vehicle, always insert the safety pin in the column to hold the load.
2. GENERAL INSTRUCTION
STL16 is a mobile hydraulic crick lift, with a column structure, built and manufactured to work at
wheel.
It offers the warranty of stability of the load both for raising and lowering operations.
The raise and descent are obtained using a sleigh fixed on a hydraulic cylinder that is operated
by a 350 bar hydraulic pump.
STL16 has reduced dimensions (see par.14 technical data) and a remarkable ease of handling,
obtained thanks to four wheels allowing an easy displacement.
The working operations are at man’s height.
The equipment is supplied with the manual and the CE certificate.
The CE certificate and the Manual must follow the equipment also in case of its sale, and must
be kept with the equipment.

3. USE
STL16 is for work-shops, tire-shops and body-shops for maintenances, checks, and car repairing.
It has not been built and it can not therefore be used to raise people.
STL16 must be used inside, protected from the atmospheric events (rain, humidity, wind).
The room temperature, in which the lift is installed, must be between +10° and 40°centigrade.
STL16 has not been thought for people operating under the lifted vehicle.
The non-respect of these rules in the use of STL16 can involve heavy risks for the operator, falling
only on his responsibility.
The user must employ the lift only in conformity with its use and all the instructions of the
manufacturer.
WARNING: The manufacturer and his distributors are not responsible for any possible
damages to people or things caused by an inappropriate and irresponsible use of the lift
different from the one described in this manual.
The first use of STL16 involves the implicit acceptance from the user of all conditions prescribed by
the manufacturer.
4. IDENTIFICATION DATA
The identification data of STL16 - the serial number, the capacity and the connection data - are
written on this manual and on the labels stuck on the structure.
The user must not take away, spoil or damage the labels on the structure.
The warranty automatically declines in case of their tampering.
5. PACKAGES
STL16 is packed with a column separated from the base.
When you open the packages check that the shipped parts correspond to all the STL16 parts and
check their integrity.
You must do this in front of the forwarder because the goods, unless different agreements
subscribed during the contract phase, travel at purchaser’s risk.
Any claim, for transport damages, caused by an incorrect load, unload and un-packaging, can not
be charged to the manufacturer company.
6. BACKING GROUND
The backing ground for this crick lift must be levelled, without depressions and with fit
characteristics to load support.
WARNING
The non-observance of this precise prescription can involve risks of the turnover of the load with
serious risks for people and things.
7. MOVEMENT
The move of the packages will be done according the safety rules and by personnel well trained in
this field. The staff must wear correct protective clothing.
It is forbidden to move the package in which the Lift is contained by hand.
STL16 is partially assembled.
It is possible to connect the feed hoses from the compressed air to the pump and from the pump to
the cylinder only after fixing the column to the base.

8. OPERATING AREA
STL16 must be used, for safety reasons, respecting its minimum area of pertinence, with a correct
distance from other equipment or from the walls of the working place.
We suggest defining this working area with strips on the floor or with special small columns
equipped of chains to avoid the access in the working area to unauthorised persons.
The prescription has the purpose to avoid the transit of people not assigned to the work, in the
safety area, when the load is lifted.
All the manoeuvres of lifting, stopping and lowering must be done at sight with a maximum
attention by the operator. Nobody must stay in the manoeuvre and pertinence area of the
equipment.
During the raising phase of the load STL16 will advance about 30 cm because of its lifting effect,
while during the descending phase there will be a withdrawing of the same distance (see picture
1). The raising and descending operations must be done by an operator who has a free escape.

9. POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
The connections that follow must be performed with the lift in off position:
•Connect the pump flexible hose to the cylinder verifying that the coupling is correctly
inserted.
•Replace the hermetic plug of the reservoir by the special plug with oil dipstick.
•Connect the flexible hose, coming from the pneumatic supply, to the pump – be sure that
the inlet pressure is between 8 to 10 bars. Check that the pneumatic system has been
prepared with a correct condensate drying system.
10. INITIAL STARTING AND OPERATION
After learning the control functioning, connect the power supply and proceed with the following
actions:
RAISING:
•Be sure of the efficiency of the parking brake before lifting the vehicle.
•Be sure of blocking the vehicle using the parking brake.
•Position the lift in such a way that the fork completely fits to the tire sides. If you use a
clamp to repair the vehicle sheet, be sure of its correct positioning.
•Be always sure of the correct positioning of the lifting arm before lifting the load.
•Press the pump pedal - side A (see picture 2) - to lift the vehicle to the desired height.
•After reaching the desired height, release the pedal and put the load under safety inserting
the supplied pin in the hole in the column.
•Press the pump pedal - side B (see picture 2) - to let the trolley of the lift lean on the safety
pin.
WARNING
Do not raise the jack until the maxi height to avoid going up to the end of cylinder stroke
LOWERING:
•Press the pump pedal – side A (see picture 2) to release the trolley from the safety pin.
•Take the safety pin away from the hole where it was inserted in.
•Press the pump pedal – side B (see picture 2) to lower the vehicle at the desired height or
to the ground.
•Take the lift away from the vehicle.
•Now you can move the vehicle away.
WARNING
After working, or when not used for a longer period, the lift STL16 must be brought to its rest
position.
Never leave the load in upper or in standing position without operator.

WARNING
In case of breakdown of the hydro pneumatic pump, it is forbidden and dangerous to replace it by
another pump of other type that the one supplied with the equipment. The use of a pump of
another type can be at the origin of serious accidents and/or deterioration of the components of the
jack.
Do not modify the regulations of the maximum pressure of the pump (350 bar)
The reparation of the hydro pneumatic pump and the cylinder requires specify knowledge and must
be made only by a Blackhawk repair centre.
12. SAFETY DEVICES
Safety pin of the lifting trolley: it must be inserted before making any operation with load lifted.
This pin blocks the descent of the trolley in the event of the accidental breaking of the chain.
Descent control valve on the pump: to allow a smoother descent of the crick-lift.
Parachute valve: Prevents the descent of the trolley in case of hydraulic hose breaking.
WARNING
Remember that it is good behaviour to bring the load down in case of a long standing.
When the lift is in use the operative area must be completely free from any obstacle and people not
related to the operation of repairing/maintenance.

14. INDIVIDUAL PROTECTIONS
The operator must always use protective work clothing as established by the law and must adopt
all the safety procedures which are compulsory in work places.
When using STL16 the operator must follow the standard law, the company procedures and his
good sense, for his own protection, the protection of people and things according to the
instructions written in this manual.
15. CHECKS AND MAINTENANCE
All the checks must always be when the power supplies are off and the lift not in operation.
The check must be at sight since STL16 does not compel the operator to do a special
maintenance.
Clean the air silencer exhaust of the pump every 6 months with the air pressure. Replace it
if necessary.
Periodically check the flexible hose and the fast couplings.
Periodically check the oil level in the pump.
Replace the hydraulic oil every 12 months, or more in relationship to the frequency of use.
Use BLACKHAWK hydraulic oil LX22X (1 litter) or LX22Y (5 litters)
CAUTION
The worn oil must be eliminated according to the local Environmental
rules.
Grease the internal part of the column (where the trolley slides on) every 3 months.
These simple procedures will preserve the lfit from troubles and defectsduring use.
16. CLEANING
Clean STL16 with care at least one a week, removing dirt, dust and any possible smearing
substances. Use self-cleaning cloths. Do not use water, inflammable or corrosive liquids.
