Each Drive Screw is lubricated by a pump located in the arm carriage. When the arms are at their
lowest level, the pump is charged with oil from the reservoir in the base of the column. As the arms
are raised, oil is delivered to the point of contact between the Drive Screw and Nut. Before the lift
is used therefore, the oil reservoir must be filled with oil as follows:
Remove the side panel (3) from each column and pour 1 litre of oil (Shell Spirex Heavy Duty 85W/
140 or equivalent is recommended) into the base of the column.
Observing all precautions previously mentioned, and keeping hands etc. well clear of the moving
parts, switch on the power to the machine, and turn the main ON/OFF switch to ‘I’ (ON).
Press the ‘ ’ (UP) button and allow the machine to rise by 20 - 30cm, before releasing and pressing
the ‘ ’ (DOWN) button and lowering again. Repeat this operation a few times, until the pump
delivers oil to the nut during the UP phase.
When satisfied, switch OFF the machine at the main ON/OFF switch, and the mains supply, with the
arms in their lowest position, then replace the side panels.
CONTROLS
Due to the care in which the machine is designed and manufactured, there are no special
commissioning tests to carry out, however, once the machine has been installed, fully check its
operation without a load. Should it not raise or lower to its fullest extent, check to ensure the limit
switches in the drive column, and one in the driven column, are correctly set to allow maximum
movement of the arm carriages.

THE LUBRICATING PUMP
The diagram shows the Control Panel, which is
located at the rear of the left hand (driving)
column.
If desired the main ON/OFF switch can be
padlocked in place, and this is strongly
recommended whenever the lift is left
unnattended.
NOTE: The provision of the ON/OFF safety switch
does not preclude the user from providing a
mains supply isolator, in accordance with IEE
regulations.
OPERATION
Ensure the main ON/OFF switch is in the ‘O’(OFF)
position, then swing the arms well clear so that the
vehicle may be driven in line with the axis of the lift,
and centralised between the two columns.
It is extremely important to ensure the vehicle is
positioned so as to achieve correct load
distribution on the arms .
Fig. 15 illustrates the manner in which a typical
vehicle should be positioned.
Always check as to whether the vehicle is carrying
an abnormal load. i.e in the boot, or in the back of
a van etc., and have it removed before
positioning. DO NOT exceed the max. capacity for
the lift.
