Safety
Read this chapter carefully and completely because it contains important infor-
mation for the safety of the operator and the person in charge of maintenance.
The lift has been designed and built for lifting vehicles and
making them stand above level in a closed area. Any other use
is forbidden.
The manufacturer is not liable for possible damages to people,
vehicles or objects resulting from an improper or unauthorized
use of the lift.
For operator and people safety, a safety area at least 3 feet away from the lift
must be vacated during lifting and lowering. The lift must be operated only from
the operator’s control site in this safety area. Operator’s presence under the
vehicle, during working, is only admitted when the vehicle is lifted and platforms
are not running.
Never use the lift when safety devices are off-line. People, the
lift and the vehicles lifted can be seriously damaged if these
instructions are not followed.
