Safety instructions for operation
The following safety instructions must be put up when near the lift:
1. Unauthorised persons must stay away from the lift. The lift must only be
operated by appropriately trained persons over the age of 18.
2. The maximum permissible load of the lift must never be exceeded; possibly
present additional load of the vehicles must be considered.
3. Vehicles must be positioned such that their weight is distributed evenly
over the lift.
4. Before putting the lift into operation, the operator must pay particular
attention to the fact that this is done without danger to other persons.
5. The control devices should be used in a way that ensures a symmetrical
lifting and lowering.
6. During the movement of the lift no persons must stand under the load,
and no works must be carried out on a vehicle being lifted. It is forbidden
to ride on the lift.
7. The operator must take care that particularly when lifting vehicles with
superstructures these are not pushed against constructional parts of the
shop.
8. When operating mechanical lifting units, it must be ensured that the
intended locking devices are properly locked when in working position,
and that the emergency switch off is not used to switch off the unit during
usual use.
9. With mechanical lifts, the condition of the supporting components must
be checked regularly; the supporting components must be replaced if
required.
10. Lifts must be checked for the effectiveness of their safety devices as
required, but at least once every month.
11. After longer interruptions of operation as well as after repairs, the lift must
only be put into operation after it has been inspected and found good
as to its proper working condition by an appropriately qualified person.
