INSTALLATION SCHEME FOR SCISSOR LIFT (Picture 4)

Ground drawing showing the placement of two platforms (P1, P2) and the control box. Dimensions provided: 900mm, 616mm, 800mm, 1495mm, 2035mm. The control box can be placed on the left or right.

Note: The foundation of the lift platforms (P1, P2) must be concrete. If the inside level ground thickness is less than 150mm, the end of P1, P2 should be irrigated to an acreage of 2500×2500mm with a concrete thickness of ≥150mm. The basic thickness of concrete and leveling are crucial; do not expect the machine to self-level excessively. The lower parts of vehicle underbodies could interfere with structural parts of the lift, especially with sports cars. The lift can handle customized or non-standard vehicles within its maximum carrying capacity. A personnel safety zone must be defined for vehicles with unusual dimensions.

Chapter 3 SAFETY

Read this chapter carefully and completely, as it contains important information for the safety of the operator and others in case of improper use. This section explains risks, dangers, safety devices, and correct usage procedures to eliminate potential hazards.

⚠️ Lifts are designed and built to lift vehicles and hold them in an elevated position in an enclosed workshop. All other uses are unauthorized. Specifically, lifts are not suitable for: Washing spray work; Creating raised platforms for personnel; Use as a press; Use as an elevator; Use as a lift jack for lifting vehicle bodies or changing wheels.

The manufacturer is not liable for injury to persons or damage to vehicles or property caused by incorrect or unauthorized use of the lifts.

During lifting and descent, the operator must remain in the control station. The presence of persons within the indicated danger zone is strictly prohibited. Persons are permitted beneath the vehicle only when it is elevated, the platforms are stationary, and the mechanical safety devices are firmly engaged (e.g., safety gear is locked).

DO NOT USE THE LIFT WITHOUT PROTECTION DEVICES OR WITH PROTECTION DEVICES INHIBITED. FAILURE TO COMPLY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND IRREPARABLE DAMAGE.

Picture 6 shows a diagram of the lift with a clearly marked danger zone.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

The operator and maintenance fitter must observe safety regulations in force in the country of installation. They must always work in specified stations, never remove or deactivate safety devices, and read all safety notices. ⚠️ In this manual, safety notices are shown as follows:

• WARNING: Indicates unsafe operations that can cause minor injury to persons and damage to the lift, vehicle, or property.
• CAUTION: Indicates possible danger that can result in serious injury to people and damage to property.
• RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK: A specific notice for areas with a high risk of electric shock.

RISK AND PROTECTION DEVICES

Operators and maintenance fitters may be exposed to risks when a vehicle is on the raised platforms. Safety and protection devices are used to minimize these hazards. For optimal personal and vehicle safety, observe the following:

• Do not enter danger areas when vehicles are being lifted (Picture 6).
• Ensure the vehicle is positioned correctly (Picture 7).
• Lift only approved vehicles; never exceed specified carrying capacity, maximum height, or projection (vehicle length and width).
• Ensure no person is on the platforms during up/down movements or while stationary.

Picture 7 illustrates correct vehicle positioning.

GENERAL RISKS FOR LIFTING OR DESCENT

Safety equipment protects against overloading or engine failure. In case of overload, the overflow valve (Picture 8) opens and returns oil to the tank. Each oil cylinder is equipped with an antiknock valve that limits platform speed if an oil pipe bursts.

Picture 8 shows an overflow valve.

The safety tooth and gear module guarantee personnel safety beneath the machine in case of other protection failures. Ensure the integrity of the gear module and that the safety tooth is completely engaged (Picture 9 & 10).

⚠️ There should be nothing abnormal left on the safety modules to prevent the safety gear from engaging normally.

RISKS FOR PERSONNEL

This section highlights potential risks for operators, maintenance fitters, or any other person near the lift due to incorrect use.

RISKS FOR EXTRUSION

Personnel must leave the designated area without following rules during up and down operations. No person is admitted to work beneath the movable parts of the lift; work must be done in the safe zone (Picture 6).

RISK OF IMPACT (Picture 11)

Before starting up/down movements, ensure no personnel are inside the danger zone. If the lift is stopped at low elevations (below 1.75m), be careful to avoid impact with unmarked machine parts.

RISK OF FALLING OFF (PERSONNEL)

Personnel are prohibited from entering the platforms and vehicle during up/down operations to prevent falling off.

RISK OF FALLING (VEHICLE)

This can occur due to incorrect vehicle positioning, overweight, or incompatible vehicle dimensions. The vehicle engine must not be turned on when the platform is being tested. Nothing should be placed on the lift-lowering area or movable parts.

Picture 11 illustrates the risk of impact.

Chapter 3 SAFETY (Continued)

RISK OF SLIPPING (Picture 12)

The floor can become slippery due to lubricant contamination. The area around and beneath the lift, as well as the platforms, must be kept clean. Remove any oil spills immediately.

Picture 12 illustrates the risk of slipping.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

Risk of electric shock from damaged insulation in electric equipment. Do not use water jets, steam solvents, or paint near the lift. Keep such substances clear of the electrical control panel.

RISKS RELATED TO INAPPROPRIATE LIGHTING

Operators and maintenance fitters must ensure all areas are properly and uniformly illuminated according to local laws. During operations, the operator should continually observe the lift and operate it only from the operator's position. When lifting/lowering, a cushion should be placed at the bottom of the chassis. Handling safety devices is strictly forbidden. Never exceed the maximum carrying capacity, and ensure vehicles are unloaded. It is essential to adhere scrupulously to all regulations regarding use, maintenance, and safety.

Note: When power is on, high voltage exists in the control box; only authorized personnel can operate it.

Oil make-up adjustment

1. Turn on the stop valves 'H' & 'I'.
2. Press the "UP" button; the motor starts to lift the two platforms.
3. Press "DOWN" button to lower the two platforms to the ground.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 about 3 to 4 times to let the air out from the slave cylinder (1,3).
5. Press the "UP" button; let the platform go up to about 500mm height. If the two platforms are not at the same level, turn on 'the oil make-up valve 'I' if the left platform is lower, otherwise turn on 'the oil make-up valve 'H'.
6. Click the 'UP' button again, and then the single side of the platform is lifted alone. After both platforms reach the same height, close the oil make-up stop valve 'H' or 'I'. The oil adjustment process is complete.
7. Turn the 'PHOTO' button to the right to let the photocell work, ensuring the lift operates only when platforms are at the same level.

Check: Verify the locations of the two safety-pawl equipments are agile and reliable, check for oil leakage in the oil line, and ensure air tightness of the air loop.

Picture 21 shows a diagram of the control box with labeled components.

GROUND BOLTS INSTALLATION

Ground bolt installation must start after the concrete has cured sufficiently; otherwise, it will affect solidity. Adjust the parallel of the platform and the distance between the two platforms as Picture 4 requires. Fix anchor bolts using a percussion electric drill (Ø16 bit) to drill a 120 mm depth hole and clean it (Picture 22). Use a light hammer to install the ground bolts into the hole (do not install the central expanded nail until after level adjustment).

Picture 22 illustrates the ground bolt installation process.

Chapter 5 ADJUSTMENT (Continued)

Level adjustment

• Use a level bar and horizontal pipe to adjust the adjustment screws at the sides of the base plate.
• If platform unevenness is due to basic unevenness, use iron blocks to fill low spots.
• After level adjustment, insert the central expanded nail of the ground bolts and hammer it in.
• Screw down the ground bolt caps.

Picture 23 shows the base plate and ground connection.

⚠️ When the concrete curing period has not expired, the central expanded nail of the ground bolts cannot be installed. The gap between the base plate and ground after adjustment must be filled with iron plate or concrete.
