Checking for room suitability
The lift has been designed to be used in covered and sheltered places.
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, must be
observed.
7.3
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.
7.4
Installation surface
The lift must be placed concrete surface sufficiently resistant. The surface must be suitable
for bearing maximum stress values, also in unfavorable working conditions. New concrete
must be adequately cured by at least 10 days minimum. For installations on raised surface,
compliance with the maximum carrying capacity of the surface is recommended.
A level floor is suggested for proper installation. Small differences in floor
slope may be compensated for by proper shimming. Any major slope change will
affect the level lifting performance. If a floor is of questionable slope please
consider to pour the new concrete slab.
7.5
Site Layout
•
Determine which end of the lift will be approach side.
•
Determine which side the power-side runway (with the hydraulic cylinder attached) will
be located on. Remember that the power-side runway must be installed on the same side
as the power-side column.
•
For 4-post lift please do not make foundation hole for fixing bolt before you set up the lift and
adjust it well. Normally people firstly get lift, set it up, adjust then fix the post. If you prepare
the bolt hole in the foundation before lift arrival it is not a good idea.
