4 - SAFETY DEVICES- A slot (1, Fig. A) on the lift cylinder rod allows partial free travel in its retract
movement close to the ground to prevent the operator’s foot being crushed between platform and floor.
- A sectional casing (3, fig. B) on the lift arm protects against the shear point
between moving arm and fixed lift structure.

1
2- The control valve (2, fig. A) is designed so that if the control pedal is released,
the platform automatically returns to the floor level and thus prevents the device
from being left in dangerous positions.								ACAUTION!
Removing or tampering with safeties is in violation ofEuropean Safety Regulations and relieves manufacturerof any and all liability for injury to persons to damage
to things caused or referable to such acts.

D) and remove the pedal unit.

C

4. Lift the pedal unit and, with a 17 mm fixed jaw spanner, remove the 2 screws that arefixing the pedal unit guard (see Fig. E).
5. With the aid of a 10 mm fixed jaw spanner, undo the 2 screws that are fixing the pedal
separator (see Fig. F).
6. Reassemble the pedal separator on the new pedal unit guard (supplied with the lifter).
Fix the guard on the pedal unit (see Fig. G) using the two screws removed previously.
7. Put the pedal unit back in place and reconnect the pneumatic supply pipe to the lubricator.
Fix the pedal unit with the 5 screws removed previously (see Fig. H).

D

8. Remove the 4 caps covering the holes for fixing the lift and the cap covering the holethrough which the pneumatic pipe goes.
9. Connect the 6-4 diameter, 800 mm long pipe, supplied with the lifter, to the quick
coupling on the back of the lifter (see Fig. L).
10. Insert the other end of the pipe through the hole at the front of the tyre changer.

E

11. Fix the lifter to the tyre changer, tightening the 2 M 6x16 screws (supplied) in the two

Cut this line cleanly with a cutter or other suitable tool at a convenient point inside the casing.
2. Install the 8-6/8-6/6-4 T-union to restore the compressed air supply cut in the previous step,and have another compressed air connector ready to fit onto the union.
3. Connect the 6-4 diam. 800 mm long pipe leading from the SL 80A lifter to the union installedin the previous step (see Fig. T).
4. Restore the power connections to the tyre changer and check lifter operation, checking also
for air leaks.
5. Refit the left hand side panel.

4. Press the pedal again to lower the wheel to the ground, holding the wheel with one hand to keep it steady throughout the entire descent.

9 - TROUBLESHOOTINGPROBLEM
When the pedal is pressed, the lift platform does not move.
CAUSES1) The compressed air supply does not reach the tyre changer or is insufficient.
2) Compressed air does not reach the lift cylinder.
REMEDIES
1) Insert the compressed air supply hose correctly and check if the pressure is sufficient.
2) Check if the SL 80A air hoses are clogged or accidentally crimped.
