INSTALLATION

Cautions
WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE GUARANTEE, INSTALLATION AND COMMISSIONING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY A PROFESSIONAL.

• Improper use of the lift may damage vehicles or injure people.
• To ensure correct installation and good performance of the lift when raising or lowering it, the floor must be perfectly level. Any inclination or slope can adversely affect the performance of the lift.
• The lift must not be installed on an asphalt floor. In accordance with the prescribed requirements, the lift may only be installed on a concrete floor that is intact, in good condition and free of cracks and defects, and only after the load-bearing capacity of the floor itself has been ascertained.
• Without certification issued by an architect or engineer, the lift should not be installed on a floor area above an empty room.
• The lift must not be installed near devices that emit heat, devices from which water escapes, air humidifiers or stoves.
• Power supply: before installing the equipment, make sure you have prepared the electrical connection.
• The manufacturer assumes no liability for direct or indirect damage due to incorrect installation or improper use of the equipment.

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
GENERAL ORIENTATION

• The lift can only be installed on a concrete floor with steel reinforcement.
• The concrete must be ≥200 mm thick to ensure that it can withstand a force of 3000 PSI (2.1 kg/ mm2).
• The area where the lift is installed must be at least 4m high, so that adequate space can be provided to work easily and safely and to carry out vehicle lifting operations.
• The safety distances between the lift and any walls must be at least 120cm, allowing easy access to escape routes in an emergency.

Global assembly

Installating the arms
Install the arms in the slots located on the lifting plate on the post

Check that the power supply connection is correct, paying particular attention to the rotation of the three-phase motor.
Make sure all the bolts are tightened properly.
Check by pressing the «UP» button that the electromagnets release the mechanical safety devices and that releasing the button stops the lifting plate.
Press the «DOWN» button and check that the electromagnets release the safety devices and allow the lifting plate to be lowered to a height of about 220 mm.
Press the «LOCK/SEC. DOWN» button and check that the electromagnets release the safety devices and allow the lifting plate to be lowered to the minimum height position.
Testing lift load
The operation of the electrohydraulic system should be tested when it is under maximum load.
Important:
Check all oil hoses and fittings to make sure there are no oil leaks before performing lifting operations.
Use all available arms to lift the vehicle, placing them at the recommended points. The centre of gravity of the vehicle must be in the middle of the arm support.

• Remove any goods from the vehicle before testing
• Check that the weight is properly distributed
• Personnel must not stand under the load during testing.
• Disconnect the power supply cable if the lift does not work.

OPERATING PHASE

OPERATION OF THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM
The mobile single post lift is equipped with a displacement mechanism. Using the steering bar you can position the lift in the desired position. By pressing the handle on the steering bar you can retract the wheel so that the post rests firmly on the ground. During this operation, make sure that there are no unnecessary objects in the work area or the surrounding area. The lift must not be moved in the raised position.
OPERATING PHASES FOR THE ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEM
After connecting the power cord, press the «UP» button for two or three seconds and wait for the lift to start rising; be careful of the lifting arms.
If the lift does not start to rise, check that the electrical connections are correct and that the phases are not reversed.

MAINTENANCE

Please read this chapter carefully, as it covers the safety precautions to be taken during maintenance and repair operations so as to avoid accidents.
WARNING:

1. Do not elevate the vehicle while manoeuvring the lift.
2. Do not move the post while a vehicle is raised;
3. The lift must only be operated once the vehicle engine has been switched off ;
4. The lift can be started after ensuring that the pad on the support arm is firmly positioned on the coupling point under the chassis of the vehicle.
5. Do not allow anyone to enter the work area during lifting operations;
6. No objects other than vehicles may be placed on the lifting arms (including petrol and acidbased chemicals);
7. The lift should not be used as a forklift truck to lift goods;
8. Check that no cables are subjected to pressure from heavy objects.
9. To avoid serious accidents, make sure that electrical cables do not come into contact with water or other substances;
10. Vehicles exceeding the specified weight must not be lifted.

WARNING:
All pins, sliding blocks, steel cables and other moving parts in the lift must be lubricated regularly.
The hydraulic oil must be changed at least once a year. The oil level must always reach at least the minimum limit indicated.
The integrity of the steel cables should be checked regularly. If you fi nd any abrasions or defects you should not use the lift; please contact the manufacturer.
When changing the hydraulic oil, put the lift in the ground position before removing the old oil. We recommend using an oil filter when topping up with oil.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Plug the power cord into a socket
AC meter does not work| If the motor operates by pushing the meter with an isolation rod, replace the meter
The “UP” button does not work| Check the button contacts and wire connection. If necessary, replace them
During lifting, the motor runs but the lift does not move| The motor is reversed| Change the phases of the power cables
The lift works normally with light loads but not with heavy loads| The set safety pressure of the overflow valve can be increased by slightly turning the control knob to the right. The solenoid valve coil is faulty and must be replaced
There is insufficient hydraulic oil| Add hydraulic oil
The descent valve is activated but does not work| Check the descent valve and if necessary replace it
You press the descend button but the lift does not move down| The safety catch is not released.| First move the lift upwards and then downwards to ensure that the safety catch is released
Solenoid valve does not work| Check the valve
Oil spills| Oil leaking from pipes or fittings| Tighten or replace pipes and fittings

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

When the «UP» button is pressed, the motor is started, the pump transfers oil from the tank to the cylinders and the lifting plate starts to move.
The breather valve is closed and the pressure is set before the lift is loaded to ensure maximum lift.
When the pressure exceeds the maximum peak, the drain valve will activate and the oil will return to the tank.
When the «UP» button is released, the motor stops working and the lifting plate stops.
When the «DOWN» button is pressed the electromagnets release the safety devices, the pump returns the oil to the tank and the lifting plate starts to descend
