READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.
3. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged until it has been examined by a qualified service
person.
4. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of the table, bench, or counter or come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades.
5. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to ormore than that of the equipment should be used. Cords rated for less
current than the equipment may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
6. Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
7. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around equipment when storing.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids (gasoline).
9. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts.
11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose to rain.
12. Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufacturer's recommended attachments.
13. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
14. To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when this product will be used around children. (Pertains to cabinets only.)
15. To reduce the risk of injury, never overload the drawers or shelves. Refer to loading instructions.
16. To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire, never overload receptacles. Refer to markings for the proper load on receptacles.

2.5. Loading conditions
The maximum lift capacity is valid when the load is equally distributed
along the platform as shown in the label here below reported.
V-035-A
V-040-A
Capacity 35,000 lb
Capacity 40,000 lb
V-050-A
V-064-A
Capacity 50,000 lb
Capacity 64,000 lb
In case of an asymmetric loading distribution, the lifting capacity depends
on:
The maximum lifting capacity according the lift type
The vehicle position along the platform
The load distribution between the truck axles
The wheel base
The loading capacity of the table is calculated by assuming a load of
distribution of 33% and 67% between the truck axles.
Note: In case of a shorter wheel base than the indicated ones or
a difference axle load ratio contact your dealer to verify the real
loading capacity.

2.6. Jacking beam
The machine can be arranged for so that auxiliary jacking beam can be used for lifting.
The jacking beam slide on rails welded to the platform.
NOTE: The lift allows the installation of 1 jacking beam.
The maximum load of the jacking beam can lift is
35000 lbs
