INTRODUCTION
ALWAYS CARRY OUT OPERATIONS TAKING INTO ACCOUNT SAFETY CONDITIONS.

DO NOT FORGET TO ALWAYS WEAR PERSONAL PROTECTION MEANS:
- HELMET
- SAFETY GLOVES
- SAFETY SHOES
- SAFETY GLASSES
- SAFETY BELT
It is fundamental to carry out a carefully assembling, in order to obtain a proper and safe operation.
So as to assemble installation components inside the shaft, it is necessary to use a scaffolding, which has to be
installed by certified personnel. The scaffolding must also comply with safety standards.
Install the system taking into account the maximum loads it is going to bear, assembling components weights
included.
It is advisable to install it taking into account the following need to move components (guide rails maximum length,
ram length) and to provide at least one working floor, 20 cm below each landing, and one working floor 2 m below
the ceiling. It may be advantageous to ensure the possibility of the later installation of intermediate working floors. It
would also be advisable to add further intermediate working surfaces.
WARNING: any operation involving the personnel standing on the car top shall be carried out
after switching over the maintenance pushbutton to INSPECTION control.
Any operation involving the personnel standing below the car, shall be carried out
after positioning the safety struts in the pit.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
1)
Distribute materials in the various areas:
- oil, piping, cabinet power unit cabinet: in the relevant area;
- jack, guide rails: inside the shaft (pay attention to the relative position of the guide rail joints);
- car sling, car, mechanical and electrical accessories, inferior door: outside the lowest stop;
- other landing doors: outside each stop.
Take advantage of the handling of components so as to check their integrity, quantity and conformity with the plan.
2)
Verify that the area is suitable for the control panel, it must provide shelter from bad weather and humidity, the
temperature must always be between 5 and 40°, the area in front of the panel must be kept void and accessible,
its height should be sufficient and fully lit..
Check the shaft dimensions, and particularly width, depth, travel, headroom, pit, door openings. Dimensions should
reasonably comply with those stated in the plan layout. Verify that the shaft fully limits and closes the space where
the lift travels. The inner part of the shaft must be kept safe from bad weather, humidity, condensation, the
temperature must always be between 5 and 40 °C.
3)
Based on the dimensions indicated in the design drawing, drop the plumb lines from the shaft head in
correspondence with the guide rails and the doors.
According to the plan dimensions, lower plumb-lines in correspondence with guide rails and doors.
Verify, at each floor, the indicated distances: values must be sufficient to install the system according to the plan.
Any possible differences should be kept into consideration for later adjustments.
A) ASSEMBLY OF THE COMPONENTS IN THE SHAFT

For the following operations it is necessary to lift the car sling, then install the cabinet containing the hydraulic
power supply and the control panel.
C) CABINET POSITIONING
In the SUPERDOMUS system the hydraulic power unit, the control panel, the power supply panel and lighting
and the thermostat are contained in a single cabinet making the machine room.
The system shall be placed taking care not to crash it against walls or other obstacles, in order to avoid
damaging cabinet panels.
The place where the system is installed must be protected against bad weather, ventilated and the
temperature must always be between 5° C and 40° C. It must also be provided with emergency lighting near
the cabinet.
The surface where the cabinet is laid must be a flat, horizontal one and should guarantee a steady support.
Verify that there are no obstacles for the opening of the cabinet door panels.
The area before the cabinet door panels must provide a free space at least 900 mm wide and 600 mm deep, if
the cabinet is not placed in a crossing area. 600 mm deep plus what is established by the enforced building
standards if the cabinet is placed in a crossing area, preferably the height should be not less than 2000 mm.
If the height is less than 2000 mm, but not less than 1850 mm, it is necessary to put some advice notice and
the automatic lighting should also be provided when entering the room where the cabinet is placed.
For all the control panel connections, please refer only to the unifilar diagrams enclosed to the control panel
and marked by the IGV’s and customer’s reference.
All the connections should be carried out according to the standards in force and Good Technique criteria.
Conductors shall be installed on sight by means of provided grooves.
Valves and thermic shields connections shall be carried out by means of 1 mm2 section cables.
WARNING: upstream the machine cabinet a proper a four-pole differential protection shall be provided.
The motor and ground connection shall be carried out by means of one-pole conductor provided with a
suitable section.
Check that the thermostat in the cabinet is adjusted for a 40° temperature, which represents the maximum
temperature or the system operation.
In order to prepare pipes, please refer to assembling instructions F12AA04: Ram, power units and pipes.
IMPORTANT: if the power unit stays for long in a damp place or on the building site, before supplying the oil,
please check that there is no condensation inside. If it there is, dry and warm the inner part of the power unit. If
the oil necessary quantity is larger than the power unit capacity, after reaching the full level, fill up the ram.
Then, after unscrewing (two turns) the bleed screw on the headroom, start the motor (with ten seconds
intervals) until the oil starts bleeding. Once this has been carried out, tighten the screw and complete the
power unit filling. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO MOTOR NOISE AT ITS FIRST STARTING, if the noise is too
loud, it means that it is running reverse, therefore you need to change the two power supply phases round.
The above mentioned bleeding operation must be absolutely carried out and shall be repeated during
assembling operations, in order to get rid of all the air in the hydraulic circuit.
When the ram reaches the upper part of its travel, oil must be over the indicated minimum level.
After tests have been executed, close the gauge cut-off cock.
P.N. Other possible hydraulic adjustments so as to tune the valve, must be carried out being the oil at room
temperature.
Then verify the proper functioning of the panel lock so as to guarantee that the cabinet door is strictly locked
during the standard system operation.
When the installation has been carried out, do not waste the wrapping material around.

D) CAR FLOOR ASSEMBLING (standard)
For the car floor assembling it is necessary to arrange a car floor bearing surface so as to hang it at the level
needed to fix it to the car sling bottom by means of bolts.
WARNING: the fixing of the car floor is carried out from inside the shaft, staying under the system. We strongly
recommend the use of safety support struts.
Lean the car floor on the angle previously fixed to the car sling uprights bottom and bolt it to the uprights (fig. d1).
Fix the rods to the pins by means of screw nut and lock nut. Insert the spacers between the pin and the car floor.
Adjust rods so as that the floor is perfectly horizontal, check the horizontal position by means of the bubble.
