4.0 HANDLING AND INSTALLATION
4.1 TRANSPORT AND UNLOADING
WARNING: If not carried out with the utmost care, lift unloading, transport and lifting
operations can be dangerous: so keep all the unauthorised persons away from lift; clean,
clear and delimit the installation area; check that the available tools are suitable for
use and in good operating conditions; do not touch any suspended loads, and stay at
safety distance; during transport, suspended loads shall not be more than 20 cm from
floor; thoroughly respect the following instructions; do not proceed in case of doubts
or uncertainty.
For transport and volume requirements, the lift is shipped partly disassembled in its basic
components.
The different components of the packed lift are kept together by means of suitable bolted brackets
to ensure easy and safe transport and handling. Packed lift shall be transported with a fork lift
having a suitable capacity.
During handling, make sure that the packed lift or the single columns are not subject to impacts
or dashes. Packed lift overall dimensions and mass are shown in Figure 8 and in the «Technical
Specifications» table.
4.2 INSTALLATION
WARNING: All the following installation, adjustment and testing operations should be
carried out only by qualified and responsible staff operating according to the applicable
electric, hydraulic, mechanic and building safety standards.
DANGER: The installation, the adjustment and the testing of the lift imply potentially
dangerous operations. Therefore, all the in-structions given below should be carefully
read. In case of doubt, please contact the Manufacturer. The manufacturer disclaims
any respon-sibility in case of non compliance with the safety standards and with the
accident prevention rules given in this manual.
DANGER: If the lift is installed on a floor slab it is necessary to consider the lift weight
plus the maximum liftable load resting on the lift bearing surfaces using adequate safety
coefficients. It is responsibility of the purchaser to carry out this check at his/her charge.
4.3 FOUNDATIONS
Lift shall be laid onto a reinforced concrete layer class «RcK 30 (3000N/cm²)» with a min. thickness
of 20 centimetres and spanning at least 1.5 m away from anchoring points.
The concrete platform shall be smooth and perfectly levelled in all directions, and cast on a
compact ground. The overall dimensions of the full system are given in Fig. 2.
4.4 POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION OF THE STRUCTURE
