This manual recommends a specific procedure to be followed for the installation of the lift system in the shaft,
for which the use of a range of characteristic tools and equipment is necessary. The said procedure does not
exclude the modification of certain aspects of the installation process on the authority of the person in charge
of installation, which could include the decision to use all the tools and equipment specified or only those
corresponding to those areas which the installer deems appropriate for incorporation into the particular
installation process in question.

lift installation procedure.

This manual describes the installation procedure for all the variations and optional extras across the full range on offer of this
particular product, which in each case are only applicable when they correspond to the particular contract in question.

Throughout the installation process, the following metric tightening torque table must be adhered to:

The manufacturer accepts no

responsibility whatsoever for any
changes undergone by the product over
the course of its useful life and which
are not recorded in this manual.
Procedure must always be adapted to
the installation of this lift, irrespective of
the particularities, quantity and type of
the components employed.
The information required for the assembly of the guides is indicated on the general drawing of the lift. A table shows the assembly
sequence of the guides and the distance between the brackets, from the bottom to the top of the shaft cross-section. Another table
shows the different levels, the distance between levels and the number and position of each door. For special lifts, these data are

Attach using M10 wall fixing (2 per tool)
the guide rail hoisting fixtures (B) and
the upper plumb line brackets (C) in the
upper shaft area at a height above that
of the fully assembled guide rails (see
general installation plan: guide rail
height and plumb line positioning).
Drop the plumb lines down the shaft in
the position indicated on the general
site layout plan.
Take the vertical measurements of the
pit, the travel distance and the overhead
clearance. On each floor, measure the
distance from the plumb lines to the
side and front walls so as to ensure
conformity at all times with the
minimum required shaft dimensions as
marked on the general site layout plan.
In the case of any nonconformity
whatsoever, reposition the plumb lines
so as to ensure throughout a vertical
volume consistent with the minimum
required shaft cross-section.

There are two bracket types, to be used

according to the distance between the
back of the guide rails and the wall in
question: the standard type (A) for fixing
to the side walls and the smaller type
(B) for the front walls. If side set-offs are
used, depending on the distance of the
guide rail from the wall, fix the wall
bracket (C) to the guide rail using either
short bend or the long bend, depending
on the requirements of the site.

Install the guide rails, starting with one

of the counterweight guide rails. Set the
first length in the pit and hoist it with the
500kg winch fixed to the hoisting fixture
at the top of the shaft. Once this length
has been raised to a suitable height, set
another length below it and join them
together with a guide rail coupling.
Repeat this operation with the rest of
the lengths until completion.
Repeat the above procedure with the
rest of the counterweight and car frame
guide rails.
Check that the top end of all the guide
rails are at the same level. If not, fit
wedges under baseplate (A) until the
right level is obtained.
