4.4.1 POSITIONING AND FIXING OF THE COLUMNS AND THE CROSSBEAM
1)
Remove the brackets (1, Fig. 8) from the columns by keeping them lifted with wood pads or
cranes to work comfortably.
N.B: WITH EXTENSIONS ON THE COLUMNS, (1, Fig. 13). The extensions must be placed on the
column top and secured with the supplied brackets and screws (2, Fig. 13). THIS OPERATION
SHALL BE CARRIED OUT BEFORE LIFTING THE COLUMNS VERTICALLY.
2)
Using suitable hoisting and slinging systems, hook one of the columns to the bracket (1, Fig.
11) already pre-assembled on column outer side, as shown in Figure 11, and place it in the
desired position.
3)
Drill eight 150-mm deep anchoring holes in the floor (1, Fig. 10) using a 16 mm drill. Then
carefully clean the holes and the floor..
4)
Fit the 8 M16 anchor bolts (type HILTI HSA-A M16x175/60 1 Fig. 12 and 1 Fig. 10) hitting gently
with a hammer. Manually tighten nuts.
5)
Position the other column and ensure that the columns are at the correct distance and
properly aligned. It is possible to check this by fitting the over-head crossbeam on the lifting
carriages; the crossbeam ends shall coincide with the column open sides. (see also Fig. 10
and Fig. 2)
6)
Drill the floor and fit the 8 anchor bolts for this column too. Manually tighten nuts.
7)
Now mount the overhead safety shut-off bar (1, Fig. 16) on the overhead crossbeam (12, Fig.
16) as shown in Fig. 16 using the supplied brackets and screws.
10)
Lift the crossbeam using suitable hoisting and slinging systems (1, Fig. 16), place it between
the two upper ends of the columns and fix it with the supplied screws (2, Fig. 16).
11)
Mount the overhead safety shut-off limit switch (13, Fig. 16) on the crossbeam bracket as
shown in Fig. 16 using the supplied screws, so that the safety pipe (12, Fig. 16) is under the
limit switch FC1 lever. Whenever the safety pipe is pushed upwards, the FC2 limit switch (13,
Fig. 16) must trip.
12)
Tighten the anchor bolts (1, Fig. 12 and 1, Fig. 10) to 100 Nm. If the anchors spin freely, they
should be replaced with larger anchors.
4.4.2 HYDRAULIC CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: At this stage of the installation, DO NOT perform any electrical connections.
CAUTION: It is crucial that hydraulic system and connections are duly laid out.
•
Connect the metal transverse pipe (3, Fig. 16), which is inside the crossbeam (1, Fig. 13), to the
relevant fittings inside the two columns (3A, Fig. 13). In the versions equipped with column
extensions, the two pipe sections are supplied with relevant fittings to connect the column
pipes to the crossbeam ones.
•
Extract the rubber discharge pipe from the column P2 (4, Fig. 16), bring the pipe to the
hydraulic unit and connect the two with the relevant fitting (7, Fig. 16).
•
Finally check that all fittings are correctly tightened.
•
Fit the transverse pipe (3, Fig. 16) at the centre of the crossbeam with the supplied terminals
(15, Fig. 16).
