3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

2.14 - Exclusive ALS system (Auto-Lock

Security), pat. pen. 200501056.hed in sa-

tin polyester.

2.15 - Legs with plastic end caps.

2.16 - Anchor of the support system of the

legs via safety catch and knob.

2.17 - Antirust protection, primed paint

with cured polyester dust cover. The tower

can be supplied with natural aluminium

ﬁnish or black (version B).

2.18 - Extension bar (EX-034B) included,

attached to the leg by a magnet.

3.1 - The TE-034 is a machine designed to elevate

loads upwards in a vertical direction, It should NEVER

be used as a platform to elevate people.

3.2 - Only place the towerlift on hard and ﬂat surfaces.

3.3 - The maximum load indicated on the characteristics

label and the instructions manual should not be excee-

ded.

3.4 - This lift should NEVER be used to elevate a load

that has not been properly checked. It is necessary to

verify that the load is correctly supported and centred

on the appropriate lift support so that the weight of the

load will only elevate in a vertical direction.

Quick operation guide ENGLISH

3.5 - Verify that the tower is in a vertical position and

check that the support system (SA) is ﬁxed by the safe-

ty catch pawl (R) and the retainer knob (K).

3.6 - NEVER use the lift on a vehicle or any other mobile

surface.

3.7 - If there is a possibility of strong winds or gusts,

place the lift on the ground ﬁrmly and secure it with the

use of straps. NEVER attach a strap to a vehicle or any

other object that can possibly be moved.

3.8 - NEVER move the lift whilst it is carrying a load. It

is not advisable to carry out any type of horizontal mo-

vement even small positional adjustments.

3.9 - NEVER allow any team member below the load or

anybody else in the lifts operating zone.

3.10 - Take care with all obstacles above the lift and

its extension zone such as cornices, balconies, and

luminous signboards. It is very important to avoid the

presence of all types of cables below the extended lift.

Quick operation guide ENGLISH

3.11 - Do not use stepladders on the lift or use it as a

support for them.

3.12 - Before using the lift, check the condition of the

cable. The cable should not have broken threads or

show any signs of crushed/ﬂattened areas. NEVER use

faulty cables, always change them if there is any doubt.

Only use VMB steel cables; reference: DIN 3060.

Quality: 180KG/mm and torsion resistant.

3.13 - All sections must be lowered ﬁrst, and the support

system (SA) must be locked with the catch pawl (R),

before transportation.

3.14 - Do not grease or lubricate the winch’s braking

mechanism. The brake disks have been greased with

a special heat and pressure resistant solution. Other

products should not be used to avoid negative effects

regarding the braking mechanism.

3.15 - The minimum load to avoid problems regarding

the braking mechanism is 25Kg. Without this load the

brake will not work.

3.16 - NEVER take apart the crank of the winch when

the lift is carrying a load or extended.

Quick operation guide ENGLISH

4. USER INSTRUCTIONS.

4.1 - Place the lift on its working position,

in a ﬁrm, ﬂat surface. Remove the exten-

sible bar (EX-034B) from the leg.

4.2 - Firstly, untighten the screw (B) of the

bracket and put the extension bar (EX-

034B) in it, tighten the screw (B) again to

ﬁx the bar. Then remove the safety catch

pawl (R) of the support system (SA) and

untighten the retainer knob (K). Lower the

support system (SA) until you can ﬁx the

safety catch pawl (R) in the required posi-

tion, then tighten the knob (K).

4.3 - THE MAXIMUM LOAD IS 125 Kg

(275 lb). The lift should NEVER be over-

loaded (over 125 Kg). Safety at work is

the most important issue. Untighten the

steel bracket (B) and place the load onto

the lift using an adequate support accor-

ding to the need, use so that the weight

of the load will only elevate in a vertical

direction. The minimum load is 25 Kg.

4.4 - Elevation: Turn the winch crank

clockwise (N1) to lift the tower, the red

ALS lock enable the lift to rise and auto-

matically block the proﬁles whilst rising,

ensuring that it will never fall.

4.5 - Blocking: Once the system is ele-

vated to its required height gently turn the

handle in a anti-clockwise (N2) direction to

introduce the ALS locks in its correspon-

ding hole and block the proﬁles. The ALS

lock will take the pressure of the load and

release strain applied on the cable.

Security system ALS

The TE-034 incorporates the patented

security system ALS (Automatic Lock

Security). This VMB red trigger system

automatically blocks the tower in the posi-

tion it is left in. Each section of lift has an

ALS that blocks the section in the unlikely

event of the cable breaking.

4.6 - Lowering: To bring the lift down you

need to ﬁrst turn the winch handle slightly

clockwise (N1) and at the same time pull

the red ALS lock out. This releases the

blocking systems. Then turn the handle

anti-clockwise (N2), whilst maintaining the

ALS lock pulled out until the proﬁle has

been completely lowered. All red ALS

locks should be pulled out one by one

whilst the handle is turned anti-clockwise

and the proﬁles are brought down, one by

one.

CAUTION

When two towers are used to elevate a

bridge, down truss or many towers to ele-

vate a structure of any type, it is almost

impossible that two or more people co-or-

3.17 - Only original replacement parts should be used.

ORIGINAL

Quick operation guide ENGLISH

5.2 - The lift is supplied from the factory

completely greased. However, it is recom-

mended to periodically grease according

to use, the gearing, the axis bearings, the

spiral of the crank, and the sections.

5.3 - All lifts should undergo an annual

technical inspection carried out by an

authorized VMB dealer to check the cer-

tiﬁcations and general condition of all the

lift’s elements and security systems invol-

ved in the lift’s use.

5.4 - Only use original spare parts to gua-

rantee a continued security level. The

user loses all rights to warranty if any spa-

re parts other than originals are used or

carries out any modiﬁcation or alteration

to the towerlift.

5.5 - To request a spare part please in-

dicate the corresponding code which can

be found in this manual together with the

lift’s serial number and year of manufac-

ture.

6. GUARANTEE.

The warranty period for this lift is 2 years

from the date of purchase.

PRO LIFTS S.L. promises, that from the

date of purchase and during the warranty

period to resolve any faults that may oc-

cur, produced through defect material or

fabrication. Damage caused by improper

use, product modiﬁcation, third party ma-

nipulation or accidental ﬁre are not cove-

red by this warranty.

dinate the winches elevating or lowering

the loads, at exactly the same pace. At a

certain point each tower will be extended

to a height different to that of the others.

For this reason it is necessary that the

structure does not stretch and allows

for these differences. With a rigid ﬁxa-

tion and if the level difference is signiﬁ-

cant, the force generated from the handle

of the winch will deform the structure and

apply a lateral force to the lifts causing

them to break and block.

4.7 - Transport:

For the transport of the tower is necessary

to fold the machine lowering every section

completely, then untighten the screw (B)

of the bracket and remove the extension

bar (EX-034). Once the towerlift is com-

pletely folded, unlock the catch pawl (R)

and untighten the retainer knob (K), then

rise and close the support system (SA) up

to its transport position, then ﬁx the safety

catch pawl (R) and tighten the knob (K).

Attach the extension bar to the leg with

the magnet.

5. MAINTENANCE.

5.1 - Regularly check the state of the ca-

ble. If the cable has broken threads, or if

it shows any signs of crushed/ﬂattened

areas, it should be changed and replaced

immediately with a new one. Do not use

the lift if the cables are in bad condition.

Only use VMB steel cables reference: DIN

3060 torsion resistant.
