Installation/Operation & Maintenance Manual
HFL4140E 4-POST ALIGNMENT LIFT
Fig. 20
RISK OF IMPACT
Caused by the parts of the lift or the vehicle that are
positioned at head height.
When, due to operational reasons, the lift is stopped
at relatively low elevations (less than 1.75 m from
the ground) personnel must be careful to avoid
impact with parts of the machine not marked with
special colors
(Fig. 21)
.

RISK OF VEHICLE MOVING
Caused by operations involving the application of
force sufficient to displace the vehicle.
In the case of large or particularly heavy vehicles,
sudden movement could create an unacceptable
overload or uneven loadsharing.
Therefore, before lifting the vehicle and during all
operations on the vehicle
MAKE SURE THAT IT IS PROPERLY STOPPED
BY THE HAND BRAKE.
Fig. 22
RISK OF VEHICLE FALLING FROM LIFT
This hazard may arise in the case of incorrect
positioning of the vehicle on the platforms, incorrect
stopping of the vehicle, or in the case of vehicles of
dimensions that are not compatible with the capacity
of the lift.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO PERFORM TESTS BY
DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS ON THE
PLATFORMS (e.g. reversing, etc.).

RISK OF SLACKENING OF LIFT CABLES
Caused by objects left leaning against the posts or
on the platforms
(Fig. 24)
.
NEVER LEAN OBJECTS AGAINST THE POSTS
OR LEAVE THEM IN THE LOWERING AREA OF
THE MOVABLE PARTS OF THE LIFT.
If you leave objects that interfere with the free
lowering of the platforms, the lowering movement
will be interrupted.

RISK OF SLIPPING
Caused by lubricant contamination of the floor
around the lift
(Fig. 25)
.
THE AREA BENEATH AND IMMEDIATELY
SURROUNDING THE LIFT AND ALSO THE
PLATFORMS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN. Remove
any oil spills immediately.
When the lift is fully down, do not walk over the
platforms or the cross-pieces in places that are
lubricated with a film of grease for functional
