Chapter 6 Safety
Read this chapter carefully and completely because it contains important information 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 1m free 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 runways 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.
