The vehicle must now be lowered by an
authorised competent person.
ONLY use adapter extensions from the lift
manufacturer. DO NOT use wood or concrete
blocks or other improvised extensions.
Check the condition of the pick-up points on the
vehicle. These should be free of grease, oil and
dirt. Arms swing under the vehicle and position the
adapter on the pick-up points recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer (Fig. 4). Bring the adapter to
the corresponding height to stop the car straight
and properly balanced.
When raising and lowering, monitor the lifted
vehicle constantly
. If the lift is not synchronised,
pause the movement and determine the cause.
Monitor the tension of the synchronisation cables
through the inspection window in the plate frame,
and if there are irregularities, shut down the lift
and contact the service department.
Raising

button. Raise the vehicle
slightly.
2. Check that the vehicle pick-up points are
secure.
3. Press the Up

button. Raise the vehicle to the
desired height.
4. Make sure that each pinion engages the ring
gear as soon as the slider block loses contact
with the floor.
5. If one of the pinions does not engage the ring
gear, the bolt with the pull ring at the top can be
seen to protrude further than normal at the top
on the guide shaft of the pinion (Fig. 8, in
normal position). In this case, lower the slider
block and re-position the problematic arm.

DOWN  buttons at the same time so that the
slider block rises and the lever is released. Then
lower the vehicle.
The latch mechanism, the lever, and the "Up"
