LIFT USAGE
The lift must be used by authorised personnel only. Remember that any use by staff not
familiar with the procedures specified in this manual might cause dangers. The machine
operates as follows:
MAIN LIFT
Positioning the vehicle: after positioning the vehicle on the lane of the lift be sure that the
wheels are as centred as possible on the centre line of the lanes, then block the parking
brake of the vehicle to avoid dangerous movements.
When you use the free-wheel lift you must introduce the spacing pads between the lift and
the vehicle. Position them on the proper supports designed by the vehicle manufacturer
and as lined up as possible with the centre line of the lane.
Lifting the vehicle: turn on the main switch and press the Raising button.
Once the desired working height is reached, release the button and set the lift in condi-
tions of mechanical safety by pressing the safe parking button.
Turn off the master switch, lock it with the padlock provided and start work on the ve-
hicle.
Lowering the lift: remove the padlock from the master switch and switch on the machine;
press the Down button. The lift will rise for about 1.5 seconds to free the pawl of the
mechanical safety device from the rack and then descent will start.
Safe parking: remove the padlock from the master switch and switch on the machine; press
the Safe Parking button. The lift will start to descend immediately, keeping the mechanical
safety devices lowered; keep the button pressed until the safety devices of both runways

Note: the safe parking procedure could not start until about 2 seconds after the button
is pressed, to allow the pneumatic system lines to discharge following any previous
procedures.
