1.0 INTRODUCTION

This manual wants to be a practical guide for the safe and correct use of this lifting system named "Electro Hydraulic Two Columns Vehicle
Hoist" type G 50, manufactured by AGM-COS-MET srl of Almisano di Lonigo (VI), Italy. In the following description the lifting system will be
simply referred to as "lift".
The versions in which the "G 50" lift is manufactured (Fig. 1), can be recognized in following models:
• G 50 - G 50 A (basic unit with maximum capacity 5000 Kg)
• G 50 H - G 50 A H ( with standard columns extension and maximum capacity 5000 Kg)
• G 50 HL - G 50 A HL ( with high colums extension and maximum capacity 5000 Kg)
The lifts in its different versions consist of 2 symmetrical vertical structures, called columns, that must be solidly anchored to the floor. The
columns are both equipped with electro-hydraulically operated lifting saddles. The two lifting trolley are hydraulically coupled to keep the same
height during operation.
The machine operates as follows: the electric motor activates the gear-type hydraulic pump that delivers oil to the hydraulic cylinders fixed on
top of the columns, therefore lifting the two saddles.
The versions that are marked at the end with the letters "H" and "HL" are characterized by the increased height of the columns. These ver-
sions
are equipped with two extensions that are fitted on top of the columns, to increase the distance from the floor of the top connection cross
beam.
Likewise, the lift type "G50 A" differs from the type "G50" only for the higher innner distance between the posts.
From the strict observance of the instructions contained in this manual depend the correct operation, the economy of use and the lifetime of
the lift. The final part of the manual shows the components that can be supplied as spare parts.
The instructions of this handbook must be carefully followed. The manifacturer will refuse any responsibility for damages to people or
belongings a a result of lack of compliance with such directions and of improper or irrensponsible use of the lift
The warranty of the product is automatically cancelled if the user fails to comply with the regulations in this manual.

1.1 GUARANTEE

AGM-COS.MET guarantees the lift and its accessories for a period of 24 months from the purchase date. This guarantee covers the free re-
pair or replacement of those parts which result as having original construction defects after being scrupulously examined by the Constructor's
Technical Service Assistance team. All the electric parts are, however, excluded. The guarantee is limited to material defects only and is ren-
dered void should the returned parts result as having been tampered with or dismantled by unauthorised people. Responsibility for direct and
indirect damage caused to people, animals or things because of machine faults or malfunctions are excluded from this guarantee. The costs
for the replacement of lubricants, the transport costs, any customs taxes, VAT and any cost thing not included in the supply contract are at the
purchaser's cost. The replacement or repair of material under guarantee does not lengthen the terms of the guarantee itself. The purchaser
can only assert his/her rights if the conditions written in the supply contract regarding the guarantee have been respected. Should the parties
not wish to commence arbitration regarding controversies arising from the supply contract or from any other case in which sentencing by an
ordinary court is requested, the Vicenza court shall be considered as the only court of competent jurisdiction.
1.1.1. EXCLUSIONS FROM THE GUARANTEE
Upon delivery, it is necessary to check that the product has not been damaged during transportation, that the supply of accessories is integral
and that all components are present. Any complaints should be presented within 8 days from the lift delivery date. Apart from the points
given in the supply contract, the guarantee is considered null and void:
• if there is a manoeuvring error caused by the user;
• if the damage is caused by insufficient maintenance;
• whenever the given capacity has been exceeded;
• if the machine has undergone changes and the damage was caused by these changes, following repairs carried out by the user without the
permission of AGM-COS.MET, or because non-genuine spare parts were used;
• whenever the instructions given in the instruction manual are not followed.

1.2 CE CERTIFICATION

The 98/37/CE Directive, commonly known as the "Machine Directive", defines the conditions under which a machine can be entered into the
market. This Directive states that all machines should only be commercialised and used if they do not endanger the safety and health of
people,
animals or material goods. To certify that the auto lift is in conformity with what is dictated by this Directive, AGM-COS.MET made sure
that the lift was tested by a notified organisation before putting it on the market.The lift, built in conformity with the points given in the
98/37/CE Directive, passed the test and therefore entered the market without endangering the user's safety.
The lift is therefore delivered to the client equipped with and accompanied by:
• CE declaration of conformity;
• CE marking;
• User instruction book.
