1. General warnings
The Platform Lift may only be used by people who are able to manoeuvre it safely or who are
accompanied by another person that has been properly instructed as to its use.
The use of the Platform Lift is not advisable for children under 12 years of age who are not
accompanied by an adult.
Stand in a proper position upon the Platform Lift, at a safe distance from the walls of the shaft.
Before activating the Platform Lift, make sure that nothing might accidentally get caught in the free
spaces between the floor, the platform and the shaft.
During the run, hold on to the appropriate handle and do not lean body parts or any eventual
wheelchair parts on the walls of the shaft. The shaft's walls move while the Platform Lift is in
motion.
The safety devices have been installed to provide assistance in the event of danger: do not use
them without cause and do not tamper with them for any reason whatsoever.
Make sure that the floor doors are tightly shut after use.
The Platform Lift’s maximum capacity is indicated on the label which is located within the cabin.
This limit may not be exceeded for any reason.
In the event of prolonged inactivity of the plant system, it is necessary to bring the machine down
to the lower floor and turn off the main switch on the electrical control panel of the platform
elevator.
At least once every 15 days, periodically check correct functioning of the communication system
which allows emergency calls to be placed from the Platform.
The triangular Emergency key must be left in a SEPARATE and KNOWN location to allow for
immediate, safe use by expert personnel in case of need.
In the event of installations with a lift shaft subjected to strong irradiation, the inside of the shaft
can reach very high temperatures. Similarly, cold climatic conditions can cause very low
temperatures in the shaft. These conditions constitute a potential danger to the user and
therefore extreme caution is requested when using the Vertical Platform Lift in such conditions. In
the event of system use in the above-described climatic conditions, it is advisable to contact a
conditioning system and air treatment specialist to identify the best solution to adopt.

3.7 Siren
Apart from when the alarm button is pressed (not present in the case of autodialer system) the siren
sounds in the following cases:
The platform is not level with the floor and one or more doors are open or unlocked ->
continuous sound
he platform is not level with the floor and one of the safety devices has intervened ->
intermittent sound
4. Use
Attention! In the following cases the platform may stop between two floors and so may not be
moved from the outside:
Elevated viscosity of the oil that impedes the descent movement;
Loss of power during ascent movement;
"Technical shifts" caused by a lack of electrical power supply. What is meant by the term
"technical shifts" is all of those movements due to an increase in the volume of oil due to
heating (ascent) and to oil seepage in the valve (descent).
In such cases the Platform Lift will undergo (could undergo) a levelling at the low floor as described
below:
After 2 minutes and 30 seconds, the display or the emergency lamp, where no display is
present, will begin to flash.
The internal alarm will begin to sound;
Having passed another 30 seconds the levelling at the low floor will come about.
4.1 Machines with manual doors
4.1.1 How to call the car to the floors

4.3 Safety features
4.3.1 Sensitive edges
The sensitive edge is a device that stops the running of the plant system and is located on the
edges of the flooring. In the event that a person or an object is located in an excessively external
position and therefore not suitable for safety, the running is stopped and on the display the symbol
for “safety stop” appears, until the obstacle on the edge of the platform is removed.
4.3.2 Photocells
The operation of the photocells is connected to the presence of an obstacle placed between the two
installation points of these devices. In this case the safety function is activated, which stops the
plant system and on the display the symbol for “safety stop” appears. To restart the running of the
platform it is sufficient to remove the obstacle and hold down the command button.
4.3.3 Safety optical sensors (only for versions with photoelectric sensors)
The platform lift is equipped with safety photoelectric sensors to prevent against crushing hazards.
While the platform is moving, if the sensor beam is interrupted by an obstacle, it will immediately
stop and the STOP signal will appear on the display. This signal will remain active until the obstacle
is removed (if the machine is not aligned with a floor, the siren will also sound intermittently). To
verify that there is an object obstructing the beam, pass your arm through the sensor and check if
the STOP signal disappears. If the signal remains, verify the presence of other obstacles (carefully
also checking edges) and the emergency button status (must not be pressed). If the signal does not
disappear, contact service assistance.
4.3.4 Overload
If on the display the “Overload” symbol appears (see page 4) or, for the versions without display,
the overload signal lights up (see figure), the platform cannot move. Totally remove all loads from
the platform. Only after the overload signal disappears is it possible to again use the platform.
4.3.5 Motor overload
In case of a motor overload, signalled to the user by way of the red floor LED flashing and the
lighting of the emergency warning lamp on the button panel. The platform may, in any case,
descend.

5 Light maintenance
The THYSSENKRUPP ENCASA S.R.L. Platform Lift only requires the owner to perform simple
maintenance operations.
It is advisable to keep the rubber-coated load surface clean; it can be washed with common
detergents for rubber; after cleaning, dry the load surface thoroughly before using the Platform Lift
again.
If the walls of the cabin or of the protective panel are in plasticized sheet-metal, they should be
cleaned with neutral detergents and water. Chemical solvents should never be used for any reason
whatsoever as they could damage the material. Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
If the Platform lift is equipped with a "cabin", the cleaning of the walls should be done as described
in the previous points. Choose the detergent to be used based on the type of wall covering material.
Dry thoroughly after cleaning.
The floor doors are in varnished metal, like the shaft (in those versions where it has been provided.)
Such parts can be cleaned by using water and normal detergents for domestic use. Chemical
solvents should not be used for any reason whatsoever as they could damage the material. Dry
thoroughly after cleaning. Use the same procedure for any glass parts if present.
Check for oil leaks around the hydraulic control panel. If any leaks are found, contact maintenance
personnel.
If the Platform Lift’s alarm should be set off and you wish to silence the warning signal while waiting
for maintenance personnel to arrive, disconnect the Platform Lift’s electrical supply as described.
6 Maintenance
A maintenance contract, in accordance with the Italian Presidential Decree no. 459 and Ministerial
Memorandum no. 157296 dated 14/04/1997, must be stipulated with a service company which
has been approved by THYSSENKRUPP ENCASA for all operations which the user cannot carry out.
Regular maintenance of the Platform Lift, including at least two annual overhauls, will guarantee the
continued efficiency of all of the parts which make up the Platform Lift and is indispensable for its
safe and proper function.
Before performing any maintenance operations upon the Platform Lift, switch it off by
turning the electrical panel’s main switch to the 0 (zero) position. Reactivate the Platform Lift
once the maintenance operations have been completed.
7 Internal lighting
The internal part of the Platform Lift is lit by a ceiling lamp (in configurations equipped with a
protective panel) or by two spot lights (in configurations with cabin, protective panel and canopy).
The light goes out automatically, if the platform stops at a floor, within a pre-set time of 30 seconds,
if no command buttons are pressed or if a door is not opened.
In the case of the ELEGANCE version, illumination is guaranteed by four halogen spot lamps, or else
by a fluorescent bulb system, in the case of a false ceiling or by a matrix of LEDs.

8 Accessories
8.1. Telephone
The Platform Lift is equipped with a telephone, with an on-board keypad, which is mounted upon
the push button panel. Connection of the telephone to the normal telephone network must be
carried out by and under the responsibility of the client within 5 days.
For the Elegance version, the telephone combiner is available (see paragraph, “Telephone alarm
system”) to be activated within 5 days.
8.2. Oil-heating resistance (optional)
Upon request, an oil-heating resistance can be supplied along with the hydraulic control unit. This
resistance serves the purpose of keeping the hydraulic oil inside the control unit’s tank at a constant
temperature and improves the system’s descent in cold environments.
In order to render the effects of the resistance useful, it comes with an automatic system for
returning the platform to the lowest served floor.
