PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS

It is a pneumatic driven person elevator with replaces ladders, scaffolding etc. to create a safe and effective working place. The GL1010 is a three dimensional elevator that hangs and runs on rails mounted high on the sidewalls. The lower end of the GL1010 has wheels witch only touch the wall, not the floor. The cage is equipped with a simple control panel for up/down, in/out and sideway movement. For the vertical and the horizontal movement, the GL1010 is equipped with pneumatic drives, where as a pneumatic motor takes care the lateral movement. GL1010 has been designed with a great attention for the safety of the user, thats the reason there is a protection against cracks in the pneumatic circuit, overload and collision detection, its important to mention, that the safety instructions, mentioned in this manual. Additional there is a possibility for the compressed air outlet in the cage to avoid the need for trailing hoses to the tools.

WARNING!!
Before the installation and the first use read and understand these instructions. Never use the platforms as a jack, crane or similar. Follow all safety instructions. Be careful during installation, use and maintenance. Climbing on the cage or pole is forbidden. The operator must pay attention for the presence of other people in the spray booth. Use only original spare parts. Follow the instructions provided. Never exceed maximum load. Keep the access doors closed while using the platform. Do not use ladders, chairs, etc. inside the cage. Make sure that the user wears and armor when he has to lean out of the cage!!

The following parts must always be delivered: 1. Main mast with cage completely mounted. 2. Connection part compressed air. 3. Upper rail in pieces (number and dimensions according to the design of the booth) inclusive rail with installation holes and matching tube.

Take care of the parts during the unpacking and the assembly so that there is no damage to the parts. Take special care to avoid scratches on the painted surfaces. Check all the packing for damage due to the transport. Use only fitly material during the treatment and use therefore tested and approved hoists. When GL1010 must be stored for a long time, place them all the parts in a safe and the dry space. It is recommended to cover all the material to cover all the material to protect all the parts from dust.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 5. INSTALLING

For your safety

Only use tested and certified lifting equipment. Ensure quality control of all welds and fixings. Reinforce the wall at the wall at the lower wheels if its too flexible or weak. Check that the covers for the installation opening are fitted to the top rails. Do not apply compressed air before installation and checking all the end buffers. Stand clear of the GL1010 when first applying air pressure. Use suitable safety equipment (shoes, gloves, glasses) Climbing on the cage or on the poles is forbidden. The fixation of the rails on the wall must be able to cope with the mentioned forces. If necessary, the wall must be reinforced. Assembly maintenance en use of the GL1010 may only happen by train people who know about the contents of the manual. Assembly must happen by minimum 2 persons.

5.1 Recommended tools

The following tools can be used to install the lift: Hand tools: hammer Welding equipment: Drill, level measuring system, pen tape, hacksaw,

Suitable for 5mm steel (MIG or stick welding) Welding on a height of 4,5m Wires Rods Safety equipment: gloves, safety glasses. Must comply with all the necessary safety rules capacityof minimum 500kg.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 5.2 Checking the floor level

7

Before installation starts, the level and flatness of the ground have to be checked. The Following method assumes that a simple laser is available. Set the laser at convenient height above the floor level (aprox. 100mm) at one side of the booth and close to the end. Adjust the beam to measure a target at the same height at the same corner of the end of the booth.(same side). Instead of a laser, you can use a rope for the same result. Measure and record the distance from the beam to floor level at 1-1.5m intervals. The Minimum value will correspond to the highest and critical point on the floor. Repeat the same on the other side of the booth.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 5.3 Determinations controlled of the height of the upper rail
Standard mounting height for the upper rail is 4185mm above the reference point (upper side rail).

The laser can be used again to mark out the rail mounting height.

5.4 Mounting the upper rail

The upper rail is generally held in position by G-profiles, witch can be fastened to the wall by welding or screwing. The detail design varies from project, depending on the wall, but must be suitable for loads(exclusive safety margins): Maximum vertical force working on the upper rail is 7500N. Maximum horizontal force, perpendicular on the wall, working on the upper rail in 1200N. The G-profile or brackets have to be mounted at intervals of 2m(maximum) along the wall, depend on the wall construction. The customer is responsible for the strength of the wall. Make sure that the upper rail is mounted on the right position so the safe workspace can be preserved!!(See picture) This is necessary for the required moving space for the operator.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 5.4.1 Welding to the wall

The G-profile can be welded directly to the wall, witch must have vertical columns at intervals of 2.5m (maximum).
9

The wall must stand a load of 1200N (horizontally) and 7500N(vertically) safety margins. Be sure that all rail ends join properly and avoid steps in the inner surface of the rails. To guarantee a smooth movement of GL1010 the rails must be fixed as straight as possible. The rails are mounted in the G-profiles after that there are welded to the wall.

5.4.2 screwed to the wall

(If the spray booth has a dividing door) If the wall is made of concrete, stone, welding is not possible. In this case, the load bearing G-profiles together with their brackets can screw to the wall. Mount the rails with screw so the rail can resist to the present forces: 1200N horizontal and 7500N vertical. After screwing one side and checking alignment, the rails have to be screwed to the G-profiles with bolts. Note: each side of the booth where an GL1010 is mounted, must have 1 rail with installation holes.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 5.4.3 Hinges

If the booth has a dividing door, the upper rail has to be fitted with a hinged section. It is a preferable to start installation with these hinges and install the rest of the rals
10

afterward because on this manner you are sure that the hinge comes on right place in the booth. The hinges can be fitted directly to a standard rail length. The load bearing G-profile has to be mounted as close as possible to the hinge and its counterpart. Ensure correct positioning of the hinge relative to the dividing door. Fasten the hinge with clamps to the load G-profile. Ensure secure fixing! The hinges have to work smoothly and without any problems before welding. Avoid steps in the rail.

5.4.4 Lower rail

If the wall is too weak to take the forces of the lower support wheels (horizontal 1200N perpendicular on the wall and spilt by 2 wheels) or if it has steps or other obstacles witch do not permit the wheels to run on the wall, a lower support rail is necessary. The type of lower rail varies from project to project. The following examples illustrate what such a rail could be: - Flat steel, screw to the wall - Rolled steel angel, screwed to the ground floor - Concrete step on the floor If not specified, the front side of the lower rail should be in line with the backside of the upper rail. In the booth with dividing doors a maximum gap of 35mm is allowed between 2 parts of the rail. The lower wheels will easily roll over this. Bigger gaps demand special solutions.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 5.5 Installed of GL1010

Make sure that the hoist you use at least 500kg and it complies with the necessary safety rules. Be ware of the fact that the GL1010 is connected safely to the hoist by using correctly and safe material. Never install the lift alone, make that at least one person can help you. Be alert when you hook the lift on the rail! As soon as the lift is connected in the upper rail, the installed holes have to be covered with the matching tube

5.6 Installing the rubber end stops

Before using the lift, the rubber buffers have to be fitted inside the rail. Those stops, fixed with bolts, are mounted on a plate that is screwed at the end of the rail, at a distance of 200mm.

11

The end buffer for the lower rail needs to be mounted on an L-profile

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR

Place the lift with his upper support wheel against the upper buffer, place, at an offset of 5mm from the lower support wheel, the rubber end stop.

5.7 Dismantlement
There are two holes in the upper rail so the lift can be easily unlocked from his hanging, by means of lifting up the elevator structure, you can get the lift from hanging. To protect the holes we use a plate construction that by means of a tube and bolts can be mounted on his place. This tube must always be fitted immediately after after mounting the elevator on the upper rail.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 5.8 Installing and air supply

The necessary compressed air is supplied by self-retracting hose reels. If not other specified, the reels have to be installed in the middle of the booth above the upper rail, under some circumstances it can be mounted on the top of the mast. The hose has to swerve mounted so he can turn in the right direction when the lift makes a lateral movement. When installing, the net weight if the reel+ hose have been considered, the retracting spring will become stronger and stronger the more the hose in pulled out. Theoretically the reel could jam and the full driving force of the platform would be applied to the hose! Preferable, the reel is mounted with the hose outlet at the top, unless the reel is very
13

well clear above the top of the pole. In general, mounting should be in accordance to the instructions enclosed with the reels. After installation it is advisedable to blow through the hoses with compressed air. This cleans the hoses from dust.. Use only dry en filtered air to connected the lift, the air quality must be (according to ISO 8573) at minimum class 3.5.4. This is: The maximum magnitude of solid parts: 5 m The maximum concentration of water :5 mg/m The maximum pressure- drew point:+7 The maximum oil rest: 5mg/ m

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR

The lift GL1010 is tested on a pressure of 6.5 bar in our factory. This is the ideal pressure so we recommend using this pressure. To connect the hose to the lift, we use a swerved fitting. For reasons as transport, it is not possible to connect this fitting when the lift is delivered. The part is always mounted on the bottom side of the cage. Remove it from this place and mounted it on the upper side of the lift.

14

Take care that all the connections of the pneumatic circuit are tight When the compressed air is connected for the first time on the lift, operation people has to keep a save distance to the elevator. This is necessary because there can be spontaneously movements.

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR 6. Tests for the first use

See annex I It is necessary to do a few measurements and supervisions before using the lift. On this way it is possible the check the correctness of the installation and the regulation. You can use the list in annex I to check all the different points. Check every point and do not forget to write down all the necessary information. After this supervision, a copy of the correctly filled lift must be sent to our company, if you not do this, the warranty period can be canceled.

6.1 Regulations of the safeties

15

Follow the next procedure t adjust the safeties. 1) Load the lift with 150kg evenly divided over the platform. 2) Remove the frontpanles 3) Check the air pressure. Ideal is 6.5 bar. 4) Adjust the spring (B) so the chain is tightened.

5) Place 180kg on the platform. 6) Adjust the springs (A) so the lift can not moved up when you hold the emergency handle up. 7) Remove the 180kg and place approx. 100kg on the platform. 8) Check all directions. 9) Check the courses and the sag of the upper rail when the lift is totally pulled out.

16

PNEUMATIC CONTROLLED ELEVATOR For your safety

The cage doors must always be closes when platform is in use. Check the air pressure frequently. Check also the air condition. Never exceed the maximum working load as described on the signs and in the manual. Take care for appropriate protections (glasses, shoes, gloves) Spray never paint directly on the lift. Keep the floor of the cage clean. Keep the workspace free. Always use the platform carefully and with a sense of responsibility. The lift may only be used by well trained persons who know the contents of this manual. Ensure that no one is in the working range of the platform when used. Access doors to the working area of the lift should be fitted with warnings announcing the use of the lift. Never drive against wall or end buffers at fell speed. Climbing on the cage or the pole is forbidden Make that the user wears armor when he has to lean out of the cage. Do not use ladders, steps or similar in combination of the lift.

After installing and testing, the lift is ready for use. The lift has a control panel consisting of 3 control valves with levers, which is fixed to the cage. The right lever The lever in the middle The left lever
