2.Product Description
2.1 Authorised intended use
The AirgoLift has been developed and constructed to easily and
comfortably lift vehicle wheels that must be
installed on a wheel balancer.
The AirgoLift is exclusively used to raise and lower vehicle wheels in conjunction
with a wheel balancer.
The AirgoLift must only be used for wheels up to 70 kg and
a max. diameter of 900 mm (36 inch).
When correctly used, the wheel lifting device AirgoLift enables a wheel to be correctly
clamped on the shaft of the wheel balancer.
During the clamping procedure, there is no loading of the wheel on the shaft and no
pretension occurs in the connection!

2.5 Description of device
The AirgoLift comprises of a stable base frame that must be firmly attached to the floor by
bolts (refer to Point 3.3 Page 11)
The lifting unit is raised and lowered using a pneumatic bellow cylinder. During the lifting
procedure, the safety blind is also automatically raised. Control of the bellow cylinder is
carried out using the manual turning handle. Depending on the direction of lift required, the
turning handle must be rotated to the left or right.
The complete wheel lifting device only operates using air pressure.
No electrical connection is required.

3.Installation and Commissioning
Before working with the device, carefully and completely
read the User Instructions.
Make sure that no damage has occurred to the device
during transportation.
Do not use the device in a moist environment.
Generally, protect the device from the wet.
It is important to know and investigate which air pressure is
available at the location of connection.
If the compressed air applied at the connection is > 8 bar,
a pressure reducer must be installed upstream!
3.1 Assembly of the AirgoLifts
The AirgoLift is already preassembled sot that only the guide bar must be installed.
For assembly, a commercial 10 mm open-ended or ring spanner is required.
For easy and quick assembly, we recommend to first leave the AirgoLift in the
packaging (Fig. 2) and to install the guide bar on the shifting plate. (Fig. 3)
(Fig. 2)

The guide bar is already connected to the compressed air hoses and drag chain
on the base frame. Thus, it cannot be lifted freely from the packaging.
Align the guide bar and place on the 4 stud bolts on the carriage.
Using 4 cap nuts and washers (in the scope of delivery) firmly attach the guide bar to
the carriage. (Fig. 4)
Do not lift out from the side below the guide rails. The
wheel lifting device pulls apart when lifted.
Risk of entrapment. when placing down, because the
wheel lifting device again retracts to its initial position.
Lift the wheel lifting device at the long sides.

After the AirgoLift is completely assembled and stands on the floor, the compressed air
supply can be connected using a commercial, standard coupling.
If an air pressure of more than 8 bar is present at the supply line,
a pressure reducer must be installed upstream!
If routing the compressed air hose on passageways, make sure that there are no
areas of tripping on the ground!
3.2 Function check
At the initial function check, make sure that the lifting unit can freely move up and down.
At initial commissioning, keep clear of the moving parts!

UPWARDS
Slowly rotate the turning handle downwards.
The contact raises for the duration of activation.
Pay attention to the scissors lifting scaffolding!
The AirgoLift must be able to be extended to the
stop without malfunction.
Displace the contact surface and make sure
that the guides operate freely.
Push the carriage back to the initial position.
DOWNWARDS
Slowly rotate the turning handle in the opposite direction upwards.
By selecting the lowering motion, the contact lowers to the bottom end position.
If changes regarding the lifting speed are required, refer to from Point 5,
Maintenance and Care.
3.3 Position in front of the wheel balancer
The AirgoLift must be positioned so that the contact surface is central to the shaft of the
wheel balancer. (Fig. 7 / 8)
(Fig. 6)
(Fig. 8)
(Fig. 7)

When the AirgoLift is centrally
aligned, the carriage is pushed out
to the stop.
The wheel contact surface of the
carriage must reach to behind the
basic body unit of the wheel
balancer. (Fig. 9)
The clearance “A“ depends on the
respective construction of the
wheel balancer and should be
selected to between 230 and
280 mm.
When the AirgoLift is correctly positioned, it must be attached to the floor by bolts through
the 4 holes in the base frame. (Fig. 10)
In order to ensure stable attachment to the floor, bolts and dowels are included in the scope
of delivery.

4.Application and Operation
Safety instructions during operation.
When the lifting equipment is lowered and returns to the floor position, there is
a risk of entrapment.
During lowering, make sure that distance to the moving parts is maintained.
1. Lift the vehicle wheel to be balanced
onto the carriage and hold with the hand
in the recess to prevent falling over.
Position the wheel on the locating
surface of the carriage (Fig. 11)
1. Use the turning handle to start the lifting process.
The wheel must be raised until the
middle hole of the rim agree with the
shaft of the wheel balancer.
1. When the correct height has been
reached, the contact with the wheel is
manually extended towards the shaft
of the wheel balancer and the wheel
attached to the shaft of the wheel
balancer.
1. Before lowering, make sure that the contact is pushed back!
2. Before balancing, the contact must be lowered!
1. When the balancing process is complete, again place the contact in position so that
light contact is made with the tyres.
1. The wheel can now be released from the wheel balancer and be gently pushed from
the shaft.
2. Push the contact back into the initial position and lower the lifting device.

5.Maintenance and Care
5.1 General Care
Use a slightly moistened cloth and clean the lifting device at regular intervals,
depending on the degree of contamination of the device and remove
contamination and sand.
If the linear motion of the carriage is sluggish, clean the glide rails and spray
using a suitable lubricant.
Check the bellow cylinder for signs of cracks and porous locations.
Never use solvent to clean the bellow cylinder!
In particular check the lower running surfaces in the base frame. Remove any
contamination and dust from it.
5.2 Setting the Lifting Speed
The lifting speed can only be adjusted for moving upwards.
The lowering speed cannot be changed.
The default setting for lifting speed is 0.1 ± 0.02 m/s at 8 bar in empty travel. The air
regulating valve is sealed shut in this setting.
Please note that, according to the legal provision: DIN: EN 1570-1:2014-12, the
maximum lifting speed of 0.15 m/s must not be exceeded.
An air regulating valve, at the bottom of the bellow cylinder, is provided to change the lifting
speed.
Use a screwdriver. Slowly rotate the screw in the valve.
Rotation: clockwise: Slower lifting
Anticlockwise: Quicker lifting
The lifting speed depends on the load to be raised. Different lifting speeds also result with
different weights of wheels. They must never exceed 0.15 m/s in any case, also not with
empty travel.
Always inspect your set lifting speed by recording the time (in seconds) for an
upwards movement (empty travel). Divide the lift = 0.365 m by your new
evaluated time (in seconds) and you will get the lifting speed in m/s.
