2. SET-UP / INSTALLATION Remark: Only move the lifting column with the forklift. Only raise the lifting column at the correct points. Damage to lifting column and /or injury to persons may occur if the lifting column is not moved in the correct manner. 2.1 PACKING LIST The complete lift is a set of either two (2), four (4) or six (6) mobile column lifting units and one (1) parts box, based on model type. 1. Each column is a self-contained unit. 2.
It is the user’s responsibility to provide all wiring for electrical hook-up prior to installation and to insure that the electrical installation conforms to local building codes. Where required, it is the user’s responsibility to provide an electrical isolation switch located in close proximity to the lift that will enable emergency stop capability and isolate electrical power from the lift for any servicing requirements. Tools / Supplies 1. Cutting device to remove packaging. 2. Metric wrenches. 3.
2.3 UNPACKING AND HANDLING THE LIFTING COLUMN Unpacking Procedure · Remove all plastic wrap and cardboard. Be careful not to cut into the lower hydraulic hoses and fittings or to scratch the paint or damage the safety decals. · Carefully open the parts box, avoid cutting the enclosed communication cables. · Take out all of the cable reels, battery clamps, spare parts and document packet.
To charge the battery, if necessary. A battery charger is built into each column. Plug the battery charger power supply cord into a 110 volt grounded electrical outlet. Charge each mobile column lifts using a separate electrical outlet. Best performance will be obtained by charging all mobile column batteries at the same time. While charging, the red CHARGING lamp will be lighted.
WARNING RISK OF EXPLOSIVE GASES WORKING IN THE VICINITY OF A LEAD ACID BATTERY IS DANGEROUS. BATTERIES CONTAIN SULFURIC ACID AND PRODUCE EXPLOSIVE GASES. A BATTERY EXPLOSION COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF EYESIGHT OR SERIOUS BURNS. FOR THIS REASON, IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS EACH TIME YOU USE THE CHARGER.
3. System testing before actual use (Do not do any testing with a vehicle) Familiarize yourself with the electronic controls and warning lights by reviewing the functions of each item listed below. 3.1 The Electronic Control Panels: The electronic control system of MSC-18K-X includes one master and either one, three or five slave control panels, based on the model type. Each column has one height sensor, one motor pump, and one electromagnet safety latch.
Sub Control Panels - #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 Columns 3.2 CONTROL PANEL DETAILS 1. EMERGENCY Button To stop movements (lifting or lowering) immediately. 2. POWER Switch Controls the power of the control panel or charging of the batteries. 3. ‘⇑ ’ ( UP ) Button Controls the lifting of the columns. 4. ‘⇓ ’ ( DOWN ) Button Controls the lowering of the columns. 5. ‘⇓ ’ ( PARK ) Button Controls the locking of the columns. 6. POWER Light This light will go on when the control panel is power on. 7. 8. 9. 10.

LCD SCREEN Display the height readings of columns & information 20.
3.3 COLUMN POSITIONS & CONNECTIONS Depending on the model type, a full combination consists of either 2, 4 or 6 lifting columns. The position of the main column 1# should be located opposite of column 2# loading on the same axel of vehicle. The columns 3# and 4# shall be at wheels of the same axel. If required, the same will apply for columns 5# and 6#. (Figs. 3.3a, b, c) Fig. 3.3a (Two Column Configuration) Fig. 3.3b (Four Column Configuration) Fig. 3.
3.4 OPERATION TEST The mobile column lifts are designed in such a way as to offer maximum flexibility and convenience. A lifting system can consist of 4 lifting columns. The mobile column lifts are set-up as following: 1. Position the lifting columns as indicated in 3.3 (Fig. 3.3.) 2. Then turn on the battery power switch of each column on the side. 3. Set the control box power switch on each sub column to left position (ON) first, the green Power indicators will be on. 4.
Park: 1. Press and hold the ‘Park’ button, the carriage will go down until the safety lock is engaged. Mode ‘Wheel’ or ‘Axle’ test: 1. Press the button ‘Wheel’ or ‘Axle’ or ‘All’ to change mode. 2. In ‘Wheel’ mode, only that button pressed column will operate. 3. In ‘Axle’ mode, only that button pressed pair columns will operate. Note: a. In WHEEL or AXLE mode, the lifting or lowering will be carried out only 5 seconds per time. b.
4.2 Operation 5. Connect all communication cables as show in Fig. 3.3 6. Turn on all the battery switches on columns. Then turn on all the power switch with the master one in the last. 7. Depress the “UP” button and let columns rise approx. 6 inches. Release the “UP” button and inspect all of the columns to insure that the lifting arms are positioned properly. 8. Depress the “UP” button again and raise the vehicle to the desired height.
Monthly: · Test the emergency stop button on all columns. Columns should stop immediately. · Check the battery charging cables and cable ends. · Inspect communication cables and cable ends for wear or damage. · Check oil levels in hydraulic pump tank. Add oil on necessary. Annually: · Have an ALI Certified Lift inspector check all of your vehicle lifts and the safety systems for wear or damage. 6.
Preparation Employees authorized to perform lockout shall ensure that the appropriate energy isolating device (circuit breaker, fuse, disconnect, etc.) is identified for the lift being locked out Other such devices for other equipment may be located in close proximity of the appropriate energy isolating device. If the identity of the device is in question, see the shop supervisor for resolution. Assure that proper authorization is received prior to performing the lockout procedure.
7. System Diagnostic Messages The mobile column lifts have self-diagnostic systems that may display a fault message on the LCD screen. Most fault messages indicate some sort of operator error and are designed so the user can correct the most common operation mistakes without employing a service technician. Listed below are the most common fault messages. MESSAGE EXPLAINATION 1 PLC err, check & repower 2 Encode err, WHEEL/AXLE! 3 4 5 6 7 a. Communication between master and slave columns failed.
8. Emergency - Manual Lowering Procedure WARNING!! THIS PROCEDURE IS RECOMMENDED TO BE PERFORMED BY A QUALIFED SERVICE PERSON AND/OR A FULLY TRAINED OPERATER Note: Before performing this procedure, make sure there are no obstructions that will affect lowering down. In case of an emergency or without power, please use the supplied magnet ring found in the parts box, to lower each column down manually. (Fig. 8.1) 1. Open the lower cabinet, by removing the screws to access the power unit. 2.
