3.0 HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
3.1 TRANSPORTATION AND UNLOADING
WARNING: Unloading, transportation and lifting operations of the liftcan be dangerous if not carried-out with maximum attention.
Therefore, move away any persons unrelated to the task; clean, clear away and delimit the area of installation; check that the means
to be used are suitable, complete and fully efficient; do not touch suspended loads and stay away from it within a safe distance;
during transportation,the loads should not be raised higher than 20 cm. from the floor; carefully follow the directions below; if you
have doubts or uncertainties, stop immediately.
After unpacking the different parts of the lift, check that all components are complete and there are no damaged parts. In case of
doubt, do not proceed with the assembling operation and call the manufacturer or the distributor.
Due to transportation and volume requirements, the bridge is sent partially dismantled into its main parts. The various components of the
packaged bridge are connected to each other with special rods for easy and safe transportation and handling. The packed lift should be moved
using a forklift truck of suitable capacity. While moving, do not let the packed lift or the individual columns undergo knocks or blows. The
dimensions and weight of the packed lift are shown on Fig. 6.
The packing elements (plastic bags) polystyrene, nails, screws, wood, etc., should not be left around where kids may pick them up,
as they are a potential cause of danger. Deliver such non-biodegradable materials to garbage collection points for disposal.
3.2 INSTALLATION
WARNING: Only let qualified and authorized technicians perform installation, control and inspection operations. They must be able
to guarantee full compliance of these with the safety standards applicable to elestrotechnology, pneumatics and building.
DANGER: Installation, control and inspection of the lift may involve hazardous operations. As a consequence, directions must be
followed carefully. Should any doubts persist, contact the manufacturer. AGM-COSMET Srl refuse any responsibility for damage to
people or things due to a non-compliance with the safety and accident prevention regulations contained in this manual.
3.3 FOUNDATION
The hoist must be placed on a renforced concrete layer type "Rck 30" (3000 N/cm2) with a min. thickness of 20 cm and an extension
of min. 1,5 m from the ancorage points.
The cement base plate must be dead-bright, perfectly even and cast on solid ground. The overall dimensions of the plant are indica-
ted in the figure 1.
3.4 POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION OF THE STRUCTURE
WARNING: In this phase of the installation, DO NOT connect any electric cables to the lift.
3.4.1 POSITIONING OF THE COLUMNS AND CROSS BEAM
1) Mark on the floor, at the proper distance and in perfect alignment, the position of the anchoring holes of the two columns (see Fig. 7).
2) Using a 16 mm. drill bit, make all 16 anchoring holes on the floor for a depth of about 150 mm. (1 Fig. 7). Then clean thoghrougly the
holes and the floor.
3) Hook one of the columns to the bracket which is already mounted on the outer side of the column, using suitable lifting and slinging
equipment (1 Fig. 8) as shown in Figure 8, and place it in its proper place.
4) Insert the eight M16 external dowels (Type HILTI HSA-A M 16 x 190) (1 Fig. 7 and 1 Fig. 9), hitting them lightly with a hammer.
5) Hook the other column and place it in its place; check that both columns are placed at the correct distance and that they are properly
aligned with each other. You can check this by placing the upper crosspiece on the lifting saddles: the ends of the crosspiece must
coincide with the open sides of the columns.
6) Insert the 8 external dowels for this column, as well.
7) Remove the brackets (1 Fig. 8) from the columns and keep them for future dismantling or new installation of the lift.
8) The "G 50 H" and "G 50m HL" lift types are supplied with extensions for the columns (1 Fig. 10). The extensions are to be placed on the
upper end of the columns and secured with the supplied screws as shown (2 Fig. 10).
9) Fit now on the upper crossbeam (1 Fig. 11), the vehicle safety anti-collision rod (2 Fig. 11) as shown on Fig. 11, using the supplied screws.
10) Using proper lifting and slinging equipment, lift the connecting crosspiece (1 Fig. 12). Place it between the two top ends of the columns
and secure it with the supplied screws (2 Fig. 12)
11) Fix the safety vehicle anti-collision limit switch (10 Fig. 12), using the supplied screws, to the crossbeam bracket as shown in Fig. 12, so
that the safety pipe (11 Fig. 12) is placed under the limit switch lever. When the safety pipe is pushed upwards, it must activate the
limit switch (Fig.12)
