During the lifting process, ensure the load remains parallel to the ground. Should it tilt, stop
lifting immediately, lower the load and investigate the cause.
•
ALWAYS keep a constant check whilst lifting to ensure that there is sufficient height clearance,
particularly in the event of an unusually large vehicle.
•
NEVER allow any electric cables to pass through or rest on the structure of the lift. If they
should become frayed or damaged in any way, the lift could become live, with serious
consequences.
•
Before lowering the lift, ensure that all personel, tools and other equipment used, is moved
well clear, into the safety zone.
•
When operating the machine, the operator and any persons in the vicinity should stand well
clear - in the safety zone, (see Installation), and constantly checking to ensure that no
obstacle prevents progress of the lift.
•
DO NOT allow anyone to stand beneath the lift until it has stopped, is perfectly stable, and
the ON/OFF switch is set to the ‘O’ (OFF) position.
•
DO NOT remove a vehicle until all arms are swung clear.
•
NEVER board the vehicle for any purpose when it is in a raised position.
•
Never modify the lift in any way.
•
ALWAYS ensure the power to the machine is switched OFF before maintenance or servicing.
•
When the machine is not in use, the lift should be lowered to the ground and the supply to
the machine should be switched OFF. The ON/OFF switch on the control panel should be in
the ‘O’ (OFF) position, and the switch padlocked in place.
FEATURES
This machine has been designed with safety in mind and complies with all relevant European safety
standards.
The lifting arms are operated by screws, one in each column, driven by an electric motor. The motor
drives the Drive Screw via drive belts, and the drive is transferred to the Driven Screw via a chain.
A single control panel, mounted on the rear of the left hand (driving) column, comprises the main
ON/OFF switch, and UP and DOWN controls.
Long Telescopic Arms are provided at the front of each column, with Hinged Arms at the rear. The
Hinged Arms must ALWAYS be supporting the engine of the vehicle. Do not, therefore, reverse a
vehicle into position on the lift, unless it is rear engine drive.
Each Arm is provided with adjustable rubber pads for locating on the vehicles’ lifting points. The
maximum height to which the arms may be raised is 1850mm (6 ft), giving adequate room to
operate beneath the vehicle.
The MINIMUM ground clearance is 125mm.
