(Tighten more 80N.m~100N.m)

■Connection of the hydraulic hose

▶Before setting up the post, connect the
hydraulic hose and tighten it with a 19/17mm
spanner. Check for oil leakage.

■Bleeding the cylinders

▶Make sure that all air is bled from the
cylinders. As the lift uses ram type cylinders,
recheck the bleeding operation after
completing installation

 Check Points Before Operation

Before loading the lift check the

following points.

■ Test Operation
▶Operate the lift up and down 2-3 times to
check the full travel of the carriages.

■ Switch Operation
▶Check that the ascent and descent lever
operate correctly.

■ Hydraulic Check
▶Check that there are no hydraulic leaks
from either cylinders, pipes, or hose joints.
Operation

■ Mechanical Check
▶Check the tightness of all nuts, bolts, etc.

■ Exterior Check
▶Check the exterior of the lift to ensure that
there is no obvious damage.

■ Cleanliness
▶Check eveery day that the lift and the
work area are clean and free from debris
or obstructions.

16
Operation

1 Prior to use
Check that the carriages and arms are at
lowest position by operating the descent
push button.

2 Prior to vehicle entry

At the bottom position the arm locks
are released. Swing the arms to the
straightahead position as shown.

3 Vehicle entry
Position the vehicle centrally between
posts with the vehicle's center of gravity in
line with the 2 posts.

Operation

4 Arm and pad adjustment

Swing in the 4 arms under the vehicle and adjust
the length of each arm so that the pick-up pad is
directly underneath the pick-point recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer. Each pad is fitted with
telescopic thread allowing a 2-stage adjustment.
Adjust the height of each pad to engage the pick-up
point.

5 Check the arm locks

Raise the lift approx. 50mm and check
visually and mechanically to ensure that
each arm lock is firmly engaged.

17
 6 Ascent
After checking that the 4 pads are correctly
adjusted under the pick-up points recommended
by the vehicle manufacturer and that the arm
locks are engaged as previously described, press
the ascent push button and raise the lift to the
required working height.

7 Vehicle repairs
Before going under the lift, check again visually the
pick-up pads and arm locks. After repair of the
vehicle, check the floor and work area to ensure that
there are no obstructions. Press the descent push
button to lower the lift. When the lift is at the bottom
position, the arm locks are released automatically.
Release the pick-up pads from the pick-up points
by screwing down the telescopic threads. Swing the
arms from under the vehicle to the straight-ahead
position and remove the vehicle.

Operation Procedures of Each Part

■ Arm Lock Operation

Operation
1 Ascent
When the carriages go up the arm locks
are engaged automatically. Ensure that the
gears controlling the locks are in mesh,
i.e. fully engaged. If not, the arm must be
marginally adjusted until the spring loading
operates and locks successfully.

2 Descent
At the bottom position the locks are
automatically disengaged.

■ Arm Operation

1 Adjustment of arm length

sections or 3 sections as shown to allow
the required adjustment.

 Maintenance

■ Lubrication
▶At 2-or 3-month intervals, depending on
service usage.

1 Molybdenum disulphide grease

▶Apply molybdenum disulphide grease liberally to
the carriage guides and the guide runners inside
the posts.

2 Lubricating oil
▶Lubricate with oil the upper and lower cable
rollers and axles.

■ Cleanliness
▶Check every day that the lift is clean and that
the work area is clean and free from debris or
obstructions.

Maintenance
▶Clean safety devices at 2-or-3-month
intervals, depending on service usage.
- Clean the arm lock gears and surroundings,
lubricate the gear teeth and the release
mechanisms. Clean the safety lock pawls, and
lubricate the axles.

■ Synchronization Cable Adjustment

▶Check that both carriages are fully parked on

the base of the lift at the bottom position. Raise
the lift without load and listen to the audible clicks
of the 2 lock pawls. The synchronization of the
2 carriages is correct when both lock pawls click
simultaneously. Adjust the length of the 2 cables as
shown to fulfill this.

20
 ■ Arms
▶Once a year check the condition of each arm by
sliding each section to its fully extended position
and ensure that the arm stop is working correctly.

■ Emergency lowering in the event

of power failure
In the event of a power failure the lift must be
lowered manually. Lift each carriage by approx.
30mm using a trolley jack and a suitable
extension to this and manually release the
lock pawls. Fix the lock pawls mechanically so
that spring pressure does not reengage them.
Remove the trolley jack and extension. Repeat
this operation on the opposite carriage. Remove
the trolley jack and extension. As a safety Maintenance
precaution before opening the power pack,
switch off the mains and switch off the lockable
main switch on the control panel.

① Remove the cover from the power pack.

② Remove the hexagon cap from the
solenoid valve as shown.
③ Turn the emergency cock lever slowly
and carefully anti-clockwise to ensure
that the lift lowers slowly and safely.

Steps after completing the operation

① Turn the lever clockwise and lock it
securely.
② Refit the hexagon cap.

21
 2 Power pack pressure

The power pack pressure is set by

the factory in accordance with the
lift's maximum rated capacity. The
pressure regulator is sealed by the
factory and should not be tampered
with. Excessive adjustment can result
in serious damage. If the lift fails to
raise the maximum rated load, contact
your Heshbon approved maintenance
engineer.

Standard pressure settings model

200kgf/㎠

Do this action
If machine can't lift 4,000㎏.
① Put the pressure gauge.
② Open the cap of relief valve and adjust

3 Oil change
Oil should be changed 2 months after
installation and thereafter annually.
Maintenance
Oil change procedure
① Remove the cover of the hydraulic unit.
② Remove the oil filter cap and dipstick.
Carefully remove the oil drain plug and allow
the oil to discharge into a suitable container.
③ Refit the drain plug and tighten
④ Refill the oil tank with new oil
⑤ Check with the dipstick that the level is
correct ; raise and lower the lift and recheck
that the level is still correct. If not, top up with oil.
⑥ Refit the cover
