INTENDED USE
This manual includes the instructions relating to the installation, use and maintenance of the lift system called "Vehicle Lift". One of
lift main features is its very compact size in rest position. It consists of two same structures called runways. They can be
hydraulically lifted and installed on the floor or in pit.
The described lifts are mainly characterised by their type of installation and are available in the following models:
• for installation above the floor (Figg.2 e 3)
• for installation into the floor (Fig. 4)
Vehicles run on the lift moving parts positioned at lifting runways ends, i.e. ramps (3, Fig.1B). Besides allowing vehicle
raising movement, these moving parts are also used to extend runways length if necessary.
Four rubber shims, coming with the lift, shall be inserted between vehicle loaded onto lift (preferably with the engine
on the side of cylinders fitting) and runways or lift extensions at the points specified by car manufacturer. Lifting is
carried out thanks to an electro-hydraulic pump delivering oil to lifting jacks assembled onto parallelogram connecting
rods, each one equipped with safety valve. Runways alignment during operation is ensured by a hydraulic system by
transfer with 2 hydraulic jacks, each one equipped with alignment valve at maximum height. These vehicle lifts are
designed and constructed solely to lift vehicles for repair, maintenance and inspection purposes.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
CAUTION: For lifting of vehicles always use the rubber shims (6 Fig.1B) supplied, by placing them at the points
specified by the vehicle manufacturer and in any case with a minimum distance between them as imposed by latches
on the platforms.
WARNING: Read the instructions in chapter "GENERAL SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION".
WARNING: Before carrying out any operation on the control panel, be sure that no person is in the nearby of
the lift and in a dangerous position. ".
. 4.1 PUSH-BUTTON PANEL
The operations to be carried out using the push-button panel are:
4.1.1 LIFT RISING • Check that the switch / disconnecting Emergency switch (10 Fig. 1A) is in pos. I (ON), if
not, turn it on.
• Press the "UP" button (11, Fig. 1A), until the desired height is reached
4.1.2 LIFT LOWERING • Press the "DOWN" button (12Fig. 1A); the platforms will start to go down and at the
same time will activate the "BUZZER" (14 Fig. 1A.): at this stage no person, animal or thing must be inside
the danger zone (Fig. 8).
DANGER: Make sure, before performing the lowering operation, that within the danger area
bounded by the yellow band (Fig. 8) there are no people or animals
The above verification must always be performed before proceeding to the descent of the lift, since the latter
phase is considered to be particularly hazardous for any people who are nearby the risk areas (Fig.8).
4.2
VEHICLE LIFTING PROCEDURE
To proceed with the lifting, operate in the following way:
• Position the vehicle on the platforms (the platforms must be completely lowered and the arms in the rest
position along the outer edges of the platforms and inserted into the seat).
