1. INTRODUCTION

Dear customer, In order to ensure a safe and reliable operation of the TE-071 towerlift please follow

the instructions in this booklet carefully.

Before operating the lift, read the instructions completely and please note the technical information contained within this manual.

All VMB products undergo very rigorous testing, under strict conditions and they are monitored continuously during the manufacturing process. In order to guarantee the lifts function and safety, only original parts from the manufacturer must be used. If any parts other than those of the manufacturer are used,

or the product is modied in any way, the

user forfeits all warranty rights to claim. VMB reserves the right to modify the pro-

duct specications without prior notice.

The model type, production year and serial number must be quoted in any queries or orders for spare parts.

3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

2.16 - Exclusive ALS system (Auto-Lock

Security), pat. pen. 200501056.hed in satin polyester.

2.17 - Adjustable stabilizing feet with ruber non-slip supports.

2.18 - Safety catches to anchor the legs.

2.19 - Antirust protection, primed paint

with cured polyester dust cover. The tower can be supplied with natural aluminium

nish or black (version B).

2.20 - Spirit level to adjust the tower vertically.

2.21 - Swivel wheels to transport the lift when folded.

3.1 - The TE-071 is a machine designed to elevate loads upwards in a vertical direction, It should NEVER be used as a platform to elevate people.

3.3 - The maximum load indicated on the characteristics label and the instructions manual should not be exceeded.

3.4 - This lift should NEVER be used to elevate a load

that has not been properly checked. It is necessary to

verify that the load is correctly supported and centred on the appropriate lift support so that the weight of the load will only elevate in a vertical direction.

3.2 - Only place the lift on hard, at surfaces always checking that it is in a vertical position by using the bub-

ble level indicator (L) found on the base section. Adjust the leg stabilizers (Q) by turning the handles (H) to level if necessary. NEVER use wedges or other foreign objects to balance the lift.

3.6 - NEVER use the lift on a vehicle or any other mobile

surface.

3.7 - If there is a possibility of strong winds or gusts,

place the lift on the ground rmly and secure it with the

use of straps. NEVER attach a strap to a vehicle or any other object that can possibly be moved.

3.8 - NEVER move the lift whilst it is carrying a load. It is not advisable to carry out any type of horizontal movement even small positional adjustments.

3.9 - NEVER allow any team member below the load or anybody else in the lifts operating zone.

3.10 - Take care with all obstacles above the lift and

its extension zone such as cornices, balconies, and luminous signboards. It is very important to avoid the presence of all types of cables below the extended lift.

3.5 - Check that the legs (P) are placed and set-up correctly with their safety pins (R) inserted and locked.

ENGLISH

3.11 - Do not use stepladders on the lift or use it as a

support for them.

3.12 - Before using the lift, check the condition of the cable. The cable should not have broken threads or show any signs of crushed/attened areas. NEVER use

faulty cables, always change them if there is any doubt. Only use VMB steel cables; reference: DIN 3060. Quality: 180KG/mm and torsion resistant.

3.14 - Do not grease or lubricate the winch’s braking mechanism. The brake disks have been greased with

a special heat and pressure resistant solution. Other products should not be used to avoid negative effects

regarding the braking mechanism.

3.15 - The minimum load to avoid problems regarding

the braking mechanism is 25Kg. Without this load the brake will not work.

3.16 - NEVER take apart the crank of the winch when

the lift is carrying a load or extended.

3.13 - All sections must be lowered rst, and the legs

placed in its transport position, before transportation.

4. USER INSTRUCTIONS.

4.1 - Place the lift on its working position,

in a rm, at surface with the help of the

swivel wheels (T).

4.2 - Remove the legs from their trans- port supports (S) and fully insert them into

their working positions (V) checking that they are xed by the catches (R). Check

that the lift is in vertical position using the spirit level (L) at the base prole, adjust the stabilizer (Q), turning the handle (H) if necesary.

4.3 - THE MAXIMUM LOAD IS 220 Kg (485 lb). The lift should NEVER be over-

loaded (over 220 Kg). Safety at work is

the most important issue. Untighten the screw (A) and place the load onto the lift using an adequate support according to the need, use so that the weight of the load will only be elevated in a vertical direction. The minimum load is 25 Kg.

4.4 - Elevation: Turn the winch crank clockwise (N

) to lift the tower, the red

ALS lock enable the lift to rise and automatically block the proles whilst rising,

ensuring that the load will never fall.

4.5 - Blocking: Once the system is eleva- ted to its required height, gently turn the

handle in an anti-clockwise (N

) direction

to introduce the ALS locks in its corresponding hole and block the proles. The ALS lock will take the pressure of the load

and release strain applied on the cable.

Security system ALS

The TE-71 incorporates the patented

security system ALS (Automatic Lock

Security). This VMB red trigger system automatically blocks the tower in the position it is left in. Each section of lift has an

ALS that blocks the section in the unlikely event of the cable breaking.

4.6 - Lowering: To bring the lift down you

need to rst turn the winch handle slightly clockwise (N

) and at the same time pull

the red ALS-1 lock out. This releases the

blocking systems. Then turn the handle anti-clockwise (N

), whilst maintaining

the ALS-1 lock pulled out until the prole has been completely lowered. All red ALS

locks should be pulled out one by one whilst the handle is turned anti-clockwise and the proles are brought down, one by

one.

CAUTION

When two towers are used to elevate a bridge, down truss or many towers to elevate a structure of any type, it is almost

to use, the gearing, the axis bearings, the

spiral of the crank, and the sections.

5.3 - All lifts should undergo an annual technical inspection carried out by an

authorized VMB dealer to check the certications and general condition of all the

lift’s elements and security systems involved in the lift’s use.

5.4 - Only use original spare parts to guarantee a continued security level. The user loses all rights to warranty if any spare parts other than originals are used or

carries out any modication or alteration

to the towerlift.

5.5 - To request a spare part please indicate the corresponding code which can be found in this manual together with the lift’s serial number and year of manufacture.

6. GUARANTEE.

The warranty period for this lift is 2 years from the date of purchase.

PRO LIFTS S.L. promises, that from the date of purchase and during the warranty period to resolve any faults that may occur, produced through defect material or fabrication. Damage caused by improper

use, product modication, third party manipulation or accidental re are not cove-

red by this warranty.

impossible that two or more people co-ordinate the winches elevating or lowering the loads, at exactly the same pace. At a certain point each tower will be extended to a height different to that of the others.

For this reason it is necessary that the structure does not stretch and allows for these differences. With a rigid xa-

tion and if the level difference is signicant, the force generated from the handle of the winch will deform the structure and apply a lateral force to the lifts causing

them to break and block.

4.7 - Transport:

For the transport of the tower is necessary

to fold the machine lowering every prole

completely. Once the towerlift is completely folded, place the legs in their transport compartment (S) and the lift is ready to be transported.

5. MAINTENANCE.

5.1 - Regularly check the state of the ca-

ble. If the cable has broken threads, or if it shows any signs of crushed/attened

areas, it should be changed and replaced immediately with a new one. Do not use the lift if the cables are in bad condition. Only use VMB steel cables reference: DIN 3060 torsion resistant.

5.2 - The lift is supplied from the factory completely greased. However, it is recommended to periodically grease according
