SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Only specially trained authorised personnel in good health may use this
equipment.
Qualified personnel must carry out the installation, in full compliance with the
following installation instructions.
Any tampering or modification of the machine not previously authorised by the

due or referred to such operations and nullify the warranty.
Any tampering or removal of safety devices represents a violation of European
Safety Regulations.
Unauthorised persons must not operate the lift.
It is forbidden to climb or stop on the supports or on the vehicle.
The use of the lift is allowed in covered places sheltered from the wind and free
from any danger of explosion or fire. It is not allowed to use lift for vehicles
washing.

manual.
The operator must wear suitable clothing as prescribed by the laws of the
country where the lift is used.
Do not use the lift when temperature is below –10°C (14°F).
It is recommended to use only original accessories.
Our lifts are designed to accept original FASEP accessories.
Make sure that, during up and down operation, there are no dangerous
conditions for persons or things.
Set the General switch to zero and lock it in case of emergency or maintenance
operations on the lift.
Set the General switch to zero when carrying out operations on the lifted
vehicle.
Make sure that disassembly of vehicle parts does not change load distribution
beyond the acceptable limits.
Make sure of the actual stability of the vehicle on its supports as soon as the
lifting operation starts.
Stop the lift immediately if you notice irregular operation and contact the
authorised service centre for assistance.
Any kind of operation on the electrical installation must be performed by
professionally qualified personnel.

RESIDUAL HAZARDS AND INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION
DEVICES
Although the machine has been manufactured according to the safety
regulations in force, there are residual hazards, which cannot be eliminated and
are directly linked to machine operation.
HAZARDS DUE TO HANGING LOADS:
Identify the area involved with suspended loads indicated in this manual,
through horizontal markings. Mount appropriate ‘no access’ markings under the
loads.
HAZARDS DUE TO BODIES IN TRANSLATION:
Identify the area involved with bodies in translation through appropriate
markings.
HAZARDS DUE TO PRESENCE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT (ELECTROCUTION):
The electrical installation meets all safety requirements prescribed by laws and
regulations.
The prohibition to access parts in tension has been emphasised, and such parts
have been indicated.
Only specialised and authorised personnel must perform repairs on installation
components.
HAZARDS DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF MINERAL OILS.
See related prescriptions under chapter “MAINTENANCE”.
HAZARDS DUE TO LACK OF INFORMATION AND TRAINING:
All required markings have been arranged.
A copy of this manual has been provided to all people in charge of mounting,
adjusting, using and repairing the machine, and the obligation to consult it
before every operation has been emphasised.
It is expressly forbidden to unauthorised people to use the machine.
NOISE-RELATED HAZARDS:
Except for noise-related fulfilments regarding the final working environment, the
noise produced by the machine does not require any measure of protection.
HAZARDS DUE TO FALL:
It is expressly forbidden, and adequately signalled, to have access to liftable
parts.

INSTALLATION
Machine installation requires a working space of 4m in width and 6m in length.
The upper dimensions should match the height of the vehicles to be lifted.
The user must make sure that the vehicle, brought to maximum height, does not
interfere on the upper part with external obstacles.
The installation site must have the following characteristics:
•Level, firm, concrete ground with maximum height difference of 5mm.
•The floor of the support area for the base of the columns, must have a
capacity of at least 250Kg/cm2; concrete rating must be 250 R’BK or higher,
considering however that each column can stand a weight of 1900 Kg.
•The concrete layer should be thick enough to ensure that fixing bosses will
hold, with good consistency for at least 250mm.
•Sufficient lighting.
•It must not be exposed to severe weather conditions.
•Noise level should not exceed the limits prescribed by the laws and
regulations in force.
•It must not be a place used to store explosive, corrosive and/or toxic
materials.
•Pollutants-free environment.
•The workplace must not be exposed to dangerous movements due to other
machines in operation.
•From his/her control position, the operator must be able to view the whole
equipment as well as the surrounding area.
•The operator must not allow the presence of unauthorised persons and
objects that may represent a source of danger.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Fig. 3 – Assembly instructions layout
1. Put the two crosspieces (Ref.1-Fig. 3) in place using four 60-cm-high
stands (Ref.2-Fig. 3); the two crosspieces must be parallel to each other
and must have the electric cables and air pipe protections on the outer
side.
2. Release the ropes from the fixed footboard (Ref.9-Fig. 3).
3. Place the fixed footboard on the two crosspieces (the guide edge, in alto,
must remain inside the lift). The oil, air and cable pipe must remain in the
part where the controls must be located. Unscrew the anti-derailment
screws located in the crosspieces (Ref.4-Fig. 3). Introduce the ropes
(Ref.5-Fig. 3) inside the heads of the crosspieces, fitting them into the
races of the pulleys. Tighten again the anti-derailment screws.
