2.2 Storage
The packs must be kept in a covered and protected area in a temperature range 0f -10℃to +40℃. They must not be exposed to direct
sunlight, rain or water.
Stacking the packs
We advise against stacking because the packs are not designed for this type of storage. The narrow base, heavy weight and large size of the
packs make stacking difficult and potentially dangerous.
If stacking is unavoidable, use all appropriate precautions:
-never stack to more than 2 meters in height.
-never make stacks of single packs. Always stack pairs of packs in a cross pattern so that the base is bigger and the resulting stack is more
stable. Once the stack is complete, restrain it using straps, ropes or other suitable methods.
A maximum of two packs can be stacked on lorries, in containers, and in railway wagons, on condition that the packs are strapped together
and restrained to stop them falling.
2.3 Opening the packs
The packs can be lifted and transported only by using lift trucks. Never attempt to hoist or transport the unit using lifting slings.
When the lift is delivered make sure that it has not been damaged during transportation and that all the parts specified on the packing list
are present.
Packs must be opened adopting all the precautions required to avoid injury to persons (keep at a safe distance when cutting the straps) or
damage to parts of the machine (be careful that no parts are dropped while you are opening the packing).
Take special care with the hydraulic power unit, the control panel and the cylinder.

Step 11: Fill with hydraulic oil.
ONLY CLEAN AND FRESH OIL ONLY
Lift must be fully lowered before changing or adding hydraulic oil.
Prepare 12 liters anti-abrasion hydraulic oil. Fill about 10 liters into the oil tank to run the lift up and down for 2 or 3times after the electrical
system is connected.
Add more oil after running the lift for several cycles until the lift can rise to the maximum lifting height.
Note: It is suggested to use HM NO.46 hydraulic oil when average temperature of the location is above 18 degree Celsius and using HM
NO.32 hydraulic oil when temperature is below 10 degree Celsius.
Change the oil 6 months after initial use and once per year thereafter.
Step 12: Trial running.
Get familiar with lift controls by running the lift through a few cycles before loading vehicle on lift. This step is of particular
importance as it can check if the oil hose is correctly connected. The connection is qualified when there is no abnormal sound or leakage
after having been tested for 5-6 times.
If the lift doesn't raise, the motor may turn in the wrong direction. In such event, interchange wires U, V in the connection box.
Bleeding the hydraulic system
Unscrew but don't remove the nut on top of the oil cylinder and slightly press the UP button until oil gets out. Screw the nut tight
thereafter.
After bleeding system, fluid level in power unit reservoir may be down. Add more fluid if necessary to raise lift to full height. It is only
necessary to add fluid to raise lift to full height.
Check the synchronization of both lifting carriages.
Ensure the synchronization by adjusting the balance steel cables at both sides. Make both cables be of the same tightness.
This could be judged by the sound emitted by the safety locking unit during lifting process.
Check the mechanical safety locking unit.
Check and ensure both safety locking hooks can be effectively engaged or released.
