Quick operation guide
ENGLISH
4. USER INSTRUCTIONS.
4.1 -
Place the lift on a firm, flat surface
in the area it is to be used with the help of
the transport wheels (
T
).
4.2 -
Untighten the security knobs (
K
) and
remove the legs (
P
) from their transport
compartment (
S
) and fully insert them into
their working positions (
V
) checking that
they are fixed by the pins (
R
).
4.3 -
Check that the lift is in vertical posi-
tion using the spirit level (
L
) at the base of
the tower, adjust the stabilizer (
Q
), turning
the handle (
H
) if necesary.
4.4 -
Release the forks (
F
) and place them
in its working position ready to take the
load on them. Insert the pins to block the
forks.
4.5 - DO NOT OVERLOAD THE LIFT.
MAXIMUM LOAD IS 270 kg (595 lb) TL-063
The lift should NEVER be overloaded.
Safety at work is the most important is-
sue. Place the load onto the lift using an
adequate VMB support according to the
need, use so that the weight of the load
will only be elevated in a vertical direction.
The minimum load is 25 Kg.
4.6 -
How to place the load:
Always load as close to the tower as
possible. The maximum load diminishes
according to the distance from the body
of the tower as illustrated in the diagram
4.6.1
, which shows the load on the gravity
centre with distances to the lifting carriage
at a maximum lifting. Use a VMB adaptor
if necessary.
CAUTION
When two towers are used to elevate a
truss bridge, or many towers to elevate a
structure of any type, it is almost impossi-
ble that two or more people coordinate the
winches elevating or lowering the loads, at
exactly the same pace. At a certain point
each tower will be extended to different
height. For this reason it is necessary that
the structure does not stretch and allows
for these differences.
With a rigid fixation and if the level diffe
-
rence is significant, the force generated
from the handle of the winch will deform
the structure and apply a lateral force to
the lifts causing them to break and block.
WIND SPEED CALCULATIONS
The BGV-C1 is an indoor certification. If you are going to use the
towerlift outdoor and require a wind speed calculation please con-
tact us, or contact a certified structural engineer.
