TECHNICAL DATA
DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The hydraulic lift has been designed to be used for tasks implying lifting significant weights. It must not be used as a permanent support element. It is also unacceptable to use the lift to transport lifted loads. Correct, reliable and safe functioning of the device depends on its adequate operation, so: Before you commence work with the tool, read the operating manual thoroughly and keep it for future reference. The supplier shall not be held responsible for any damage and injuries caused due to using the tool for purposes it has not been designed for or for failure to observe safety recommendations and the recommendations indicated within this manual. Using the device for tasks that do not comply with the purpose it has been designed for shall also cancel the guarantee rights the user is entitled to.
SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
The lift is a hydraulic device working under significant loads. During work,
it is required to observe basic safety principles. Before you start work, read
the operating manual and keep it for future reference. Do not ever exceed the
maximum load of the lift. It is prohibited to use the device to lift people
and animals. The lift has been designed exclusively for lifting, and must not
be used for other purposes. It is required to use additional safety devices
(e.g. racks) to support the lifted object, before work under it may commence.
- In the case of lifting vehicles, it is necessary to block or wedge the wheels and engage the safety brake.
- Do not leave a lifted load unattended.
- Do not permit children and those who have not been trained in the operation of the device to enter the working
- Do not wear loose clothes and jewellery. Gather long hair.
- Use personal protection means.
- The lift must be placed on an even, flat hard and stable surface.
- The lift must be placed upon the device to be lifted so that the load is supported in the middle section of the saddle.
- It ly prohibited to adjust the safety valve.
- Keep the device far from sources of heat and flames since they might damage the device or impair its functioning.
- Before you proceed to lift any load whatsoever, make sure that once the load has been lifted, the lift will not shift.
- Before you proceed to lift any load whatsoever, make sure the lift is not damaged in any way. If the lift requires repair, have it repaired by an authorised workshop.
- Be prudent and do not work when you are tired or under the influence of medicines.
- Do not modify any elements of the lift, which may have an impact on the compliance of the lift with the standard indicated in the declaration of compliance.
- Have the device repaired exclusively in authorised service points, using solely original spare parts to ensure the required level of safety during work?
- The lifetime of the lift has been determined for 4 years from the date of its first use. After this period, the lift should be inspected at the manufacturer’s authorized servicentreter for further safety of use.
- The condition of the marking must be checked and the marking must remain as it was at the beginning.
ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION OF THE LIFT
The lift is delivered as an assembled system and does not require assembly or adjustments. Before work, it is required to realise approximately six full pumping cycles with the release valve open, to ensure appropriate distribution of the hydraulic oil. It is required to check before each task all the screwed connections and tighten them if necessary. This will increase se safety of the operation and prolong the life of the lift.
Lifting
Before lifting may commence, make sure that the operator of the lift has the
lift itself and the lifted load within the range of sight during all realised
movements. Using the narrower end of the arm of the lift, close the release
valve turning it home clockwise (II). Insert the lift arm into the socket.
Place the lift under the load to be lifted in the place designed for a lift
(e.g. in case of vehicles), so that the load is supported in the central
section of the saddle of the lift (III). If necessary in post-lift sit is
possible to unscrew the extension bolt until the saddle of the lift touches
the lifted load (except YT17008 and YT-17009). Moving the arm upwards and
downwaliftslift the load to the required height. Once the load has been
lifted, protect it from falling using for example appropriate supports.

the load to the required height. Once the load has been lifted, protect it
from falling using for example appropriate supports.
Lowering
Before lowering of the load may commence, make sure that the load to be
lowered will not cause any injuries to the personnel. Using the narrower end
of the arm of the lift turn the release valve slowly anticlockwise. Do not
open the release valve more than this is required to slowly lower the load.
Excessive opening of the valve may cause it’s removal from the casing. Once
the load has been completely lowered, disconnect the arm from the lift, and
remove the lift from under the load. In the case of post lifts, it is required
to remove the extension bolt, if it was used.
Maintenance
If the lift is not used the shaft of the lift and the socket of the arm should
be in the lower position. In the case of post lifts also the extension bolt
should be turned into the shaft of the lift. This will prevent the surface of
the shaft from corrosion.
The lift must be kept clean, and the external moving elements of the lift must
be lubricated at least every ten working hours.
Purging the hydraulic system
- It is required to have the following maintenance action realised in a specialised service point.
- From time to time the hydraulic system of the lift fills with air bubbles. This may impair the functional efficiency of the lift. If this is the case the hydraulic system of the lift must be purged.
- Place the lift in such a manner that the shaft is in a vertical position. Open the release valve and remove the oil tank plug (IV).
- Then move the pump of the lift energetically a couple of times to remove the air.
- Close the release valve and replace the oil tank plug. Check the functioning of the lift, and if necessary repeat the purging procedure.
Filling the oil tank and lubrication
- It is required to have the following maintenance action realised in a specialised service point.
- Place the lift in such a manner that the shaft is in a vertical position. Move the pump and the shaft antextremelyelowwer position.
- Remove the oil tank plug (IV).
- Use solely hydraulic oil whose viscosity class is SAE 10. It is prohibited to use other liquids for that purpose.
- Fill the tank to the lower edge of the oil inlet.
- Purge the lift following the direction indicated in „ Purging the hydraulic system”.
- Replace the oil tank plug. Check the functioning of the lift.
- In regular intervals (at least every ten working hours) lubricate the articulated connections and other moving elements of the lift.
- The n case of post lifts, remember of periodical lubrication of the extension bolt thread.
Solution of problems
- Replacement of the back spring in the powered lifts
- It is required to have the following maintenance action realised in a specialised service point.
- Lower the saddle of the lift, so that the back spring is as little stretched as possible.
- Using a tool remove the damaged spring from the holes and replace it with a new one.
- Check the functioning of the lift.
