5.1 START UP
WARNING
The lift must be put into service by specially trained personnel, in order to assure the correct functioning
of the lift itself and all its mechanical and electrical safety systems.
The instructions to be followed are provided in the final section of this manual, for the use of the technicians who
carry out the start-up procedure only.
No work on the part of the staff that does not belong to the after-sales service of the manufacturer must be
permitted.
WARNING
The manufacturer declines liability for any damages resulting from failure to follow the above instructions,
which may invalidate the warranty.
5.12 ADJUSTMENT OF THE LIFTING TIME FOR RELEASE OF THE SAFETY LOCKS
The lifting time in the automatic mode needed for the release of the mechanical safety locks is set by the
manufacturer (approximately 3/4 seconds).
In case further adjustment is necessary, work timer KT available on the electrical panel.
5.2 UTILIZATION
The machine must only be used by authorized personnel. Use by personnel who are not familiar with the
procedures specified in this manual could be dangerous.
The operation of the machine is as follows:
Vehicle positioning
When positioning the vehicle over the pads, pay attention to the following recommendations:
a) the total weight of the vehicle must not exceed as indicated on the machine data plate
b) place the vehicle on the pads, making sure that it is aligned and centered with respect to the longitudinal axis of
the lift.
c) the maximum load must be distributed on the four vertices of a rectangle having a transverse dimension of 1000
mm and a longitudinal dimension of 1800 mm. For lower transverse distance values and / or longer longitudinal
distance the lift capacity is reduced. In these cases or in other cases not covered by this manual it is advisable
to contact the manufacturer.
d) the use of accessories not authorized by the manufacturer to modify the support distances of the lifting pads is
forbidden.
e) The method of lifting the load must not present dangers and must observe the rule that requires stopping after a
short lift to check that the vehicle is correctly positioned and in a safe condition.
The Manufacturer disclaims any and whatever liability for damages to persons, animals or property
arising from non-compliance with the instructions given herewith and/or from an improper use of
the lift or any use other than specified in this manual.
To lift vehicle, proceed as follows:
•
Check that the arms are turned in a way that will not hamper the vehicle access between the lift columns.
•
Turn the arms and pull out the extensions bringing the pads to the points designed for lifting the vehicle as
indicated by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING:
Before lifting a vehicle, always check the load distribution with respect to the vehicle mass, strictly
complying with the LOAD DISTRIBUTION table (Fig. 3). Do not lift the vehicle in case the values found are
not within the limits given in the LOAD DISTRI-BUTION table.
