SCISSORS – PLATFORM

This is the mobile and lifting part of the lift. It is made up of a series of booms and the upper platform all fixed together by rotating pins on self-lubricating bushes. The mobile parts move on Teflon sliding blocks, whilst those of the auxiliary lift move on metallic rollers.

CONTROL UNIT

The unit is made up of a metallic box that contains all electrical, hydraulic and pneumatic functioning parts of the lift. The controls are placed on the upper part of the unit, are of 24 V voltage and of the “dead man” type.

There is one main control switch and a touchpad

CHAPTER 3 - SAFETY

GENERAL RULES

Read this chapter carefully as it contains important information concerning the safety of the operator and risks that may be incurred with incorrect or improper use of the lift. Operating and maintenance personnel must observe workplace accident prevention legislation in force in the country where the lift is installed.



Pict. 4

1.During lifting or lowering operations, the lift must be operated only in the reserved control area as shown in the diagram (picture)

2.Stopping or passing within the danger area when the lift is working or already raised is strictly forbidden. Only the operator may stay under the lift when it is raised.

3.The operator must ensure the danger area is clear when lifting or lowering the lift.

4.Never use the lift without protection or when safety devices have been switched off or tampered with.

5.When raising a vehicle use the supplied rubber pads on the correct support points as advised by vehicle manufacturer.

6.Switch off the engine and engage the parking brake after placing the vehicle on the lift. Remember to disengage the gear by placing the gearshift to “neutral”.

7.To prevent vehicle from falling make sure it is properly placed on the lift.

8.Entering the vehicle and/or starting the engine when the lift is raised is strictly forbidden.

-13-

9. Never leave objects under the vehicle or scattered around it whilst lowering the lift.

10. Keep the area around the lift clean and remove any oil spills to avoid the risk of slipping.

11. Never use jets of water, steam, varnish or solvents in the lift areas around the lift and the control unit.

12. Non-suitable lighting may be risky. Ensure all areas next to the lift are well lit in a uniform manner.

13. Climbing on the platform when lifting the vehicle or when it has already been raised is strictly forbidden.

14. Any use of the lift other what it has been designed for may cause serious accidents to people and objects in its proximity.

	15. The tampering of safety devices is strictly forbidden.

16. Never exceed the maximum lifting capacity (4000 kg). Check weight of vehicles that are loaded.

17. In case of malfunction, stop the lift and block the on/off button by using a lock. Only skilled technicians should be allowed to restart the lift. Make sure the main power supply has been switched off before repairing and servicing the lift.

SAFETY DEVICES

ANTI-SHEARING SAFETY

The lift is provided with a safety device that automatically lowers the main lift to approximately 40 cm from the floor and lowers the lift-table to approximately 10 cm. an acoustic-light signal is also activated during the final part of lowering.

HYDRAULIC SAFETY

This safety device is made up of parachute valves positioned inside the main pistons and the lift-table pistons. The valves automatically block the lowering of the lift in case the hydraulic tubes are broken or accidentally cut.

PHOTO-ELECTRIC SENSOR SAFETY DEVICE

This device automatically blocks the lifting or lowering of the lift if the sensor picks up a difference in level of approximately 100 mm between the two platforms.

RACK-TYPE MECHANICAL SAFETY DEVICE

A mechanical safety device with rack-type hooks on the main pistons and the lift-table pistons. Hydraulically controlled, it can be activated by the operator using the special button on the touchpad.

DEAD-MAN SAFETY DEVICE

The car-lift is fitted with a dead-man control device. Releasing push button controls situated on the console of the control unit immediately stops lowering and lifting operations.

OVER-LOADING SAFETY

The lift is fitted with a maximum valve for overloading. This valve does not allow for lifting when the load has exceeded maximum capacity. The device can be activated from both the main lift and the lift table.

CHAPTER 4 - INSTALLATION

 REMOVE PACKAGING FROM GOODS AND CHECK FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE BEFORE INSTALLING THE LIFT.

ONLY SKILLED TECHNICIANS APPOINTED BY THE MANUFACTURER OR AUTHORISED DEALERS MUST INSTALL THE LIFT, OTHERWISE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO PEOPLE OR EQUIPMENT MAY BE CAUSED.

The lift must be installed according to the specified safe distance from walls, columns, other machinery; etc. The room must be at least 4500 mm in height. The minimum distance from walls must be 1500 mm, with consideration of the necessary space required to work easily. Further space of at least 1000mm for the control unit and escape routes in case of emergency is also necessary. The lift may be positioned on any type of floor as long as it is perfectly level and of adequate resistance (min. 250 kg/cm2).

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1.Power supply and pneumatic feed availability.

2.Positioning of lift.

3.Electrical connections.

4.Hydraulic connections.

5.Electric network connection.

6.Fixing of lift.

7.Initial running.

8.Use suitability

-15-

1) CHECK FOR AVAILABILITY OF POWER AND PNEUMATIC SUPPLY.

First of all, ensure that the power supply is equipped by a magnet/thermic switch (380V – 16A) with protection fuses) with suitable protection devices conforming to safety regulations and that the maximum distance of the electrical connections and the hydraulic connections from the control unit must be 3 metres.

2) POSITIONING OF LIFT.

Before positioning the lift at the chosen place, insert the adjustment pins into their positions situated in the lower parts of the bases. Raise the two platforms by at least 100 cm with a crane (to open the lift) and ensure that the mechanical safety devices are on. To position the lift, sling it as shown in the diagram on the following page and place it in the desired point. Eliminate the possible slight floor level differences (max 7mm) with the use of metallic thicknesses.

Pict. 5

-16-

WARNING! When choosing the installation site, it is necessary to observe work safety legislation and any other regulations for specific uses of the machine. From the command position, the operator must be able to see the entire lift with its surrounding area. The operator must ensure that no unauthorised persons or objects enter the area as these could present the risk of danger.
