CHAPTER 4 - LIFT DESCRIPTION
4.1 LIFT DESCRIPTION (ref. fig.3)
The lift is suitable for lifting a vehicles having maximum weight 2500kg.
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 lift.
As shown in figure 3, this lift is composed of the single column (1), the carriage (2), rear telescopic
arms (3), H arm (4) and front telescopic arms (5).
By operation of the mobile jack (6), the lift can be moveable.
The lift can be anchored to floor by means of the base (7).
Raising motion is carried out by pushing the lifting button on the control panel (8) to operate a power
unit to deliver the hydraulic fluid to cylinder inside the columns.
Lowering motion is controlled by pushing the lowering button on the control panel and carried out
under the carriage weight and the load lifted.
The mechanical safety is built in the carriage and can be released by means of the electromagnet when
the lowering button is pressed.
Two limit switches are installed on the lift. One is for the max. lifting height, another is for the safety
height from which the alarm can be heard till the lift is lowered fully.

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, the safety area shown in the figure 8 must be vacated during lifting and
lowering. The lift must be operated only from the operator’s control site, as shown.
Operator’s presence under the vehicle, during working, is only admitted when the vehicle is lifted 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.

REV. 01 201617 / 28
6.2 SAFETY DEVICES
To avoid overloading and possible breaking, the following safety devices have been used:
A pressure overload valve in the hydraulic unit to prevent excessive weight.
A flow restrictor placed in the hydraulic system to prevent the lift from lowering in case of
pipeline failure.
Alarm can be heard during the final lowering phase to avoid the crushing risks.
Automatic mechanical back-up safety holds on the lift in the elevated position.
The pressure overload 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 SAFETY SIGNS
All safety warning signs (ref. fig.9) displayed on the lift are with the purpose to draw the operator’s
attention to dangerous or unsafe situations. The labels must be kept clean and they have to be replaced
if detached or damaged. Read the meaning of the labels carefully and memorize it.
It is strictly forbidden to modify any safety device. Always ensure the safety device
for proper operation during the service.

REV. 01 201618 / 28
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.
7.1 CHECKING FOR ROOM SUITABILITY
The lift has been designed to be used in a place free of overhead obstructions.
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, escapes and the like, must be observed.
7.2 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 lighted.
7.3 FLOOR REQUIREMENT
The lift must be placed on a concrete floor in conformity with local regulations.
The surface where the lift must be placed must be even and leveled in all directions.
The surface where the lift must be placed must be even and leveled in all
directions. Small differences in floor slope may be compensated for by proper
shimming. Any major slope change will affect the level lifting performance.
Failure to do so could cause lift failure resulting in personal injury or death.
7.4 INSTALLATION OF COLUMN TO BASE (ref. fig.10)
Unauthorized persons are not allowed to enter during assembly.
Once the lift is unpacked, check the machine visually for any sign of damage.
Keep the packing materials for the possible future transportation.
Make sure to u se caution to prevent the column from falling over during
installation process.
Transport the packages using the proper hoisting equipment with the load capacity 1000kg at
least to the installation site.
Remove the package of the base and place it on the flat surface.
Remove the package of the column.
Take the accessories from the column.
Install the column to the base using the supplied screws and washers as shown. Make sure to u se
caution to prevent the column from falling over.
 In the meanwhile, install the mobile jack with the column as shown.
