4. HOW TO USE
8
1. Place the lifting tower over a firm and flat surface in its working
place.
2. Remove the outriggers (H) from their transport supports (C) and
insert them into their working positions (G) checking that they are
fixed by the safety pins (K).
3. Adjust the outrigger stabilisers (J) by turning the cranks (I) to
level the lifting tower. Ensure it is in a vertical position checking
the bubble level.
4. Put the load on top of the lifting tower using the suitable support,
in order to make the weight of the load work only in vertical
direction. The minimum load must be 25 kg. It is possible to
manually block it with the safety pins (A).
5. Elevation: Turn the winch handle (B) clockwise to lift the load until
the desired position, checking that safety pins (A) are activated (T).
6. Lowering: release the safety pins (A). To release them, turn
slightly the winch handle to elevate the load. In the normal
working position, the load's weight does not allow to release the
safety pins. Once the safety pin (A) is unblocked, turn the winch
handle (B) counter-clockwise until lowering the load and the first
profile is completely down. Release the safety pins (A) and keep
on lowering the lifting tower until the second profile is completely
down. Unblock the safety pin (A) and continue lowering the lifting
tower until it is completely folded as its minimum height. The
lifting tower can be fixed in any needed intermediate position
as well as when raising the load, fixing the safety pin (A) in the
position (S).
7. For the lifting towers' transport it necessary to bring down all the
profiles releasing the safety pin (A). To fix the profiles with the
safety pins (A) in the position (S).
5. MAINTENANCE
1.
Periodically check cable status. If the cable seems to have broken cable wires or crushing, replace
immediately with a new one. Never use the lifting tower with cables in bad conditions. Only use galvanized
steel cable under EN12385-4. Right hand ordinary lay.
MaxLoad: 6390N. Tensile strength: 1960N / mm². Diameter: 3 mm. Length: 8 m.
2.
The lifting tower is supplied fully greased from factory. Nevertheless, periodical greasing is recommended
as per use to the crown gear of the winch, to the threaded bar of the stabiliser outriggers and the profiles.
WARNING: DO NOT GREASE OR LUBRICATE BRAKING MECHANISM
Braking disks were greased with a special heat and pressure resistant grease. No other product must used
to prevent negative influence on brake function.
3.
Lifting tower Stagelift 100, must be checked by an expert once a year minimum as per its use.
4.
Only original spare parts must be used to ensure continued safe use. The user loses all guarantee rights if
spare parts other than the originals are incorporated or modify the product in any way.
5.
To request any spare part, contact the manufacturer or an authorised distributor within your territory.
6. SPECIFIC RISKS
BRAKING SYSTEM FAILURE
May occur due to braking system deficiencies or bad installation If it stops working it could cause a serious risk
because the raised load will be out of control and injure users or hit materials next to the tower.
LOSS OF STABILITY
If the tower is placed on a sloping ground or a surface that is not completely flat there is a risk of loss stability
which would lead to a 90 º overturn with risk of serious injuries for workers and material.
OBJECTS DROPPING TO A DIFFERENT LEVEL
As an elevation equipment and because of the working height, there is a serious risk of raised objects dropping
to a different level, either due to securing mechanism failure, part wear, dirt, etc., or incorrect use of the lifting
tower (E.g.: for goods over the maximum load allowed). Sudden drop of raised goods implies a serious risk for
worker and material.
KNOCKS AND / OR CONTUSIONS DUE TO OBJECTS
This risk only occasionally causes an accident to the worker running the operation due to his location during
the elevation process; nthe risk of knocks from a raised element is more likely to affect people walking by or
whose workplace is next to the lifting tower. Its origin may be due to loss of stability, malfunctioning of structural
elements, safety systems, securing systems, etc.
