7.12 PLATFORM ADJUSTMENT
To adjust platforms properly, operate as follows :
a) Raise the lift (without the vehicle) up to an height of about 1.5 metres and insert mechanical
safeties;
b) verify that both the platforms are leveled (horizontally) independently of the supporting
floor morphology (by means of a water gauge or an air bubble) and, if necessary, adjust in
the following way:
• remove the fixing bolt (1);
• adjust the adjusting screw (2) until the required conditions are obtained;
• on the higher platform only, reinsert the fixing bolt (1) and tighten.
• Using the same tool, level platforms among them by adjusting the supports, shown in the
figure, that belong to the lower platform
• Once the required conditions have been obtained, lean the other supports, reinsert the fixing
bolt (1) and tighten.
Figure 35 – PLATFORMS ADJUSTMENT
Verify the distance between the lift base and the bearing surface (floor or
hole), after leveling the lift.
If this distance is too great, or not exactly the same on the ends, other
fastening points to the bases, such as cement, chemical bi-component or an
iron plate, have to be provided, in order to prevent the base from bending
under the weight of the lift or the vehicle.
