Loosen the lower screws (Fig. 49-7) securing the safety
rods and, by turning the upper nuts (Fig. 49-1) of the rods,
adjust so that the distance between the wedges and the slots
in the safety rods is identical on all four posts. Tighten the
lower screws fully and secure the upper part with the lock
nut.
4.6 SECURING THE POSTS TO THE
GROUND
Lower the platform (see operating instructions) until it is
about 30 cm from the ground.
Position the posts so that the nylon shoes (Fig. 50-1 and
Fig. 50-2) are in contact with the posts.
Fig. 50
Plumb the posts to ensure that they are perfectly
perpendicular to the floor, inserting shims where necessary
under the baseplates.
Use shims that are as large as possible and always install
them close to the anchor holes.
Press LIFT button and complete the lift cycle; during the
cycle. Check that the cross-pieces slide freely and without
undue rubbing friction (you may want to stop the lift
motion every 20 or 30 cm to make this inspection easier).
If you notice any malfunctions during this operation, check
that the posts are perfectly perpendicular.
When the lift cycle is completed, make sure that the lifting
limit switch is working properly and if necessary, adjust
using the cam on the cross-piece.
Lower the platform until it is about 30 cm from the ground
and then drill into the floor through the fixing holes in the
base plates.
Use screw anchors size Ø 16 mm, M10, length 65 mm,
type FISCHER SLM 10 or equivalent (HILTI HB M10).
Tighten the screws with a torque.
4.7 INSTALLING THE VEHICLE RAMPS
AND THE WHEEL STOPS
The vehicle ramps (Fig. 51) and the wheel stops (Fig. 52)
can be fitted on either end of platforms according to the
user’s requirements.
