Foundation
The car lift must be installed according to the specified safety distances from walls. The
safety distances from walls must be 1000 mm at least, taking into consideration the
necessary space to work easily. Because space for the control unit and for possible
runways in case of emergency is also necessary. The room must be previously arranged
for the power supply and pneumatic feed of the car lift. The room must be 4000 mm in
height, at least.
The car lift can be placed on any floor, as long as it is perfectly level and sufficiently
resistant (≥250kg/cm², the thickness of concrete ≥200mm).
All parts of the machine must be uniformly lit with sufficient light to make sure that the
adjustment and maintenance operations can be performed safely, and without reflected
light or glare, that could give rise to eye fatigue.
Required supply connections
Three-phase electric power supply
400 V, 50 Hz three phase current (3~ + N + PE 400 V, 50 Hz).
The diameter of the cable must be adapted to the type of the lift and the local
conditions.
Pneumatic feed
permanent working pressure 6-8 bar!

3. Connect the pneumatic hose (ø8x6) to the solenoid valve in the control
box. (pneumatic feed line)
4. After the connection of the pneumatic feed line, connect the pneumatic
lines to the air pressure cylinders in each platform.
(page 23, chapter 10 Pneumatic Systems)
ATTENTION: It must be ensured, that the pneumatic hoses cannot be
pinched during raising and lowering cycles.

of difference between the two platforms
othe valve (I or H) of the lower platform remains closed at all
time
onow press the „DOWN“ button and open the valve (I or H) of
the higher platform at the same time
oas soon as both platforms are at the same level, close the
previous opened valve (I or H)
owhen both valves (I and H) are closed again, press the
„DOWN“ button to lower the lift to its lowest position
oraise the lift to its max. height and observe the synchronism of
the platforms
oif there are still height differences, repeat the previous
