Installation
Only skilled technicians must be allowed to carry out installation.
Serious damage to people and to the lift can be caused if
installations are made by unskilled personnel.
7.1 Checking For Room Suitability
The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places free of
overhead obstructions. The place of installation must not be next to washing
areas, painting workbenches, solvent or varnish deposits. The installation
near to rooms, where a dangerous situation of explosion can occur, is strictly
forbidden. The relevant standards of the local Health and Safety at Work
regulations, for instance, with respect to minimum distance to wall or other
equipment, escapes and the like, must be observed.
7.2 Lighting
Lighting must be carried out according to the effective regulations of the place of
installation. All areas next to the lift must be well and uniformly lit.
7.3 Installation Foundation
The lift must be placed on a 425 concrete fl oor with FEB 215 K reinforcement,
15cm thick at least, and in conformity with local regulations. If a fl oor covering
with the above mentioned requirements is not available, a foundation plate is
needed or, some fi xing points should be used, for fi xing areas at least, having
suf fi cient size and thickness (made of concrete of the same quality, as shown).
The surface where the lift has to be installed must be even and leveled in all
directions. An inclination not higher than 2 cm in drive-on lift direction and 1
cm cross-wise can be balanced with leveling wedges. If an installation is made
in a hole, the real side of the hole must be veri fi ed (as per drawing sent at the
order). For installation on raised surface, the compliance with the maximum
carrying capacity of the surface is recommended.
