4. Preparing for use

Filling and bleeding the hydraulic system

1. Before filling the hydraulic system, the lift needs to be in the lowest possible position.
2. Fill the oil tank with hydraulic oil, use only Falco CH32V hydraulic oil. Check the oil level
during filling, the level should reach the upper stripe (MAX) on the oil dipstick/filler cap.
3. Now connect the lift to the power supply (separate group, 230V, 16A slow fuse) and put the
main power switch in the ON-position (refer to chapter 5, Operation).
4. Now press the LIFT-button on the control-unit (refer to chapter 5, Operation), bleeding the
hydraulic system goes automatically. Lift to the maximum height, then lower till the lowest
position.
5. After bleeding top up the oil level in the tank to the MAX-sign, the lift has to be in the lowest
position for this action.

ground wire is reliable.

Testing without load

1. The generator should turn in a direction consistent with that of the gear pump.
2. Check if the safety lock functions by lowering the lift.
3. The core axle line in the hydraulic cylinders should be equal to the columns' core axle line.
4. Check if the lifting bodies move up and down smoothly.
5. Check the hydraulic system for leakages.
6. Fully lift and lower the lift two times.

Testing with load

If everything is functioning correct without a load, the lift is ready to be tested with load, place a
vehicle on the lift, refer to chapter 5 Operation.
1. Lift the vehicle smoothly until the wheels are free from the floor.
