1 Introduction
This assembly instruction is developed as a guide for assembly of Cibes Lift AB Platform
Lift A 5000 – 7000.

The assembly instruction is primarily written for a two landing lift with the doors on the
same side Figure 1. Additional instructions for other configurations can be found in the
separate instructions “Supplementary assembly instructions for Platform Lift A 5000 –
7000”.

2 Safety instructions
2.1 General

This section must always be read by the mechanics and the mechanics must have
studied the information before the work is started.
 Mechanics need to be responsible to ensure they follow safe systems of work and
any health and safety regulations for the country and work place where the assembly
is carried out.
 The lift is only manufactured and intended to be assembled as described in this
manual. Modifications of the lift or divergence from the prescribed procedure can
affect the function and safety of the lift. Cibes Lift AB takes no responsibility for
operating faults or lack of security that accrues as a result of this.
 Always switch off, isolate and lock off the electrical supply when working on
electrical components or if there is a risk from sudden lift start.
 Put up signs and block off a safe working zone around the assembly area.
 Signs with warning text and safety instructions must not be removed, covered or
made illegible.
 When using chemical products, always read and follow the manufacturer
instructions and warnings on the package.
 A steady step ladder of at least 1 metre, which fits on the platform, is needed to
assemble the Cibes platform lift A 7000.
 Components that exceed a weight of 25 kg are marked.
 Only, authorised agents of Cibes Lift, may carry out the assembly. Electrical
installation must only be carried out by authorised persons.
NOTE! The connection to the battery in the electrical compartment should NOT made
until stated in the instructions in section 3.20.2.

Warning! Deviation from the Assembly instruction or bypassing safety components

involves risks that can result in serious personal injury. Any deviation from the Assembly
instruction or bypassing must be documented and reported to Cibes Lift AB. Cibes Lift
AB is not liable for accidents occurring as a result of this.

Mechanics must always write a report detailing why he has deviated from the stated
instructions.
Mechanics must switch off the main power supply and lock the main power switch when
working under the lift platform to avoid the risk of the lift moving downwards (risk of
crush injuries).
Mechanics must cordon off the workplace, to prevent unauthorised persons from coming
under the platform.
Mechanics must be aware of the accident risk due to falling when the platform is above the
existing shaft walls.
Mechanics must cordon off the working area so that no unauthorised persons can come
inside the cordon and possibly be hit by falling objects.
Work with an open door:
The lift may have left the floor resulting in an accident risk due to falling. A cordon must
be set up around the workplace.
Strapping the service hatch:

5
It is not acceptable to operate the lift with the service hatch strapped during assembly.
After assembly has been completed all strapping must be removed and checked off on the
“after assembly” checklist (sent as a separate document).

2.2 Operating the lift during the assembly

WARNING - Operating the lift during the assembly

The installation is carried out using the lift it self as a part of the
assembly procedure. It must be noted that the safety functions of
the lift, except the emergency stop and safety edges, are by-passed.
Extra precautions must be taken to avoid personnel injury and/or
product damage.
1. Make sure nobody is in the vicinity of the lift in motion endangering his or her safety.

2. Never run the lift higher than the highest mounted lift wall panel, to prevent the risk of
falling out over the upper shaft edge.

3. Make sure that tools and cords are not placed in a way that they cause injury or
damage to people, the lift or the lift components.

4. Never leave the lift without making sure that unauthorised persons can not access or
operate the lift.

5. All safety supports must be extended when working under the lift platform, otherwise
a risk of serious injury due to crushing exists.

6
2.3 Heavy hoist

WARNING – Heavy hoist

Some lift components are very heavy. If these are supported or
hoisted in an unsecured way, it may result in personnel injury
and/or product damages.
1. In this case, always have two persons when hoisting heavy components and use
suitable hoisting equipment.

2.4 Falling components

WARNING – Falling components

Assembly of the lift involves working at heights at which there is a
risk of falling components. This may cause personnel injury and/or
product damages.
1. Make sure that mounted components are fitted, or placed securely so that they cannot
fall down before work in the lift shaft starts.

2. Never work in the lift shaft if another person is working above.

7
2.5 Component damage

CAUTION - Component damage

The lift has printed circuit boards (master node, door node, alarm
card, control unit and door opener) which are sensitive to damage.
1. Take precautions when working in the vicinity of the node boards (PCBs) so that they
do not become damaged.

2. Before touching the node boards, touch an earthed object.

2.6 Safety equipment

When working in the lift shaft a safety helmet should be used. Use safety gloves during all
assembly work, except if working with rotating parts of the machine. When cutting up
profiles and wall panels into sections, use safety goggles and ear protection.

2.7 Measures at electric accidents

At electric accidents, the following precautions shall be taken:

1. Switch the power off immediately. Should it not be possible to switch off the
power, the injured person must be released from the live component. A non-
conductive material must be used when removing the injured person, for example,
rubber gloves. If possible, the person performing the freeing action should stand on
an isolating surface.

2. If the injured person is not breathing, ensure that the airways are clear and start
artificial respiration. In the event of cardiac arrest, give cardiac massage.

3. If the injured person is breathing, but is unconscious, he/she should be placed in

the recovery position.

4. Summon personnel at the workplace trained in first aid and call an ambulance.

3.1 Unpacking
Check that all has been delivered and that nothing has been damaged.

Carefully unpack all components. Handle the door fronts and wall panels with caution not
to damage the painted surface.

Paint for touch-up painting of powder coated door fronts is supplied in the package. This
should be left at the site after the assembly is finished.

3.1.1 Handling of packing material

All packing materials are selected with respect of the environmental influence and may be
sorted as recycling, combustible waste and landfill.

3.2 Assembly of bottom frame

Study all drawings for the lift to be assembled. Check the travel distance and the machine
compartment’s position against the outline diagram, deviation must not exceed ±10 mm.

Place the bottom frame at the bottom of the lift shaft with the guide attachments towards
the machine compartment side.

3.2.1 Plumbing
1. Plumb from above the lift shaft. Check that the plumb line does not run
into the lift shaft when the plumb is moved along the outer edge of the
bottom frame from the top landing.

2. Adjust the bottom frame to be 10 mm from floor height.

3. At a half-height assembly: Adjust the bottom frame to the front main sill
box (50 mm from floor height). It shall be 30 mm for aluminium front
and 10 mm for steel front.

 3.13 Assembly of lift shaft

3.13.1 General recommendations

- Check applicable dimensions with the enclosed shaft drawing. In some cases the lower lift
wall panel may need to be adjusted in size to give the correct placement on, for example,
glass window panels.

- Make sure the corner mouldings are fitted the right way round.

- Centre the lift wall panel in the corner profiles and door profiles.

- Check the distance between the safety edge (yellow) and the lift wall panel (10 ±1 mm)
before pop riveting.

- All pop riveting should be done from the inside of the shaft.

- Always start to pop rivet at the lower edge of the lift wall panel.

- Pop rivet the panels as they are fitted.

- Drill and rivet a total of 11 rivets per lift wall panel on sides A and C.

- Drill and rivet a total of 8 rivets per lift wall panel on sides B and D.

Warning! Exercise care when drilling the door fronts so not to damage the electrical
equipment.

3.15 Functional check

3.15.1 General checks

1. Check that the wire lock to the over travel limit switch is tightened
correctly so the wire cannot slide.

2. Make sure that the flat cables and cables between the doors are properly
tightened to prevent them from getting jammed or hook on to something.

3. Check that all emergency stop is working.

4. Run the lift to all landings and check that the safety edge is 5 mm above
the door sill at all times. This applies with steel fronts and unassembled
sill strips. On aluminium fronts the safety strip should be level with the
sill.

5. Press down the different safety edges during operation. The lift shall
stop.

6. Run down the lift and emergency crank the lift down to the floor so that
the lift screw begins to lift. The over travel limit switch will operate. The
lift must now be hand wound until the over travel limit switch is not
affected.

7. Run the lift to the upper landing and emergency crank it towards the
upper position. The over travel limit switch shall operate before the lift
yoke hits the upper yoke. Hand wind the lift downwards.

8. Check that the switch activates by applying the feeler gauge between the
tip of the switch and the safety nut see Figure 21.
NOTE! The feeler gauge shall be but back since it is regularly used for
checking the switch.

3.15.1 Checking the overload protection

When checking the overload protection both dynamic and static testing are to be
performed. The dynamic test must be 10% over the rated load, i.e. 40 kg. Load the
platform with 440 kg and test operate, the lift must then work satisfactorily. The static test
must be 25% over the rated load, i.e. 100 kg. Load the platform with 500 kg without
operating and after the load has been removed the lift must work satisfactorily. Complete
the checklist section 5 for the overload protection check.

3.15.2 Checking and adjusting the concealed door circuit

All door fronts are equipped with a short-circuiting plate as well as a concealed door
circuit. Both the short circuit plate’s and the door circuit’s contacts break the safety
circuit. If there is an open circuit on one of them the lift will not work. On the aluminium
fronts the short circuit plate, Figure 49 goes in towards the door contact when the door is
closed, to make the safety circuit. The switch on the hinge must be unactuated when the
door is closed, see Figure 50, which means that the safety loop is made. When the door is
opened the hinge axle actuates the switch which breaks the safety circuit, see Figure 51.
Check that the concealed door circuit works by short -circuiting the door contact and test
operate the lift with the door open approx. 7 degrees, the lift must not start. If the lift does
start, the hinge axle must be adjusted so that it breaks the safety circuit earlier. Adjust the
hinge axle by loosening the set screw see Figure 50 item 2 and turning the axle. Make sure
to tighten the stop screw.
