5.3 Basic Safety Measures
When operating the service lift, the statutory accident prevention regulations in
accordance with BGV A1 (General requirements) apply. Regulations BGR 500
(operators of work equipment) can be used for information purposes.
The operator is to monitor the vehicle during lowering and lifting.
Service lift parts such as air bags or air bags must be protected while working with
high temperatures (welding, grinding, etc.) and from mechanical and chemical damage.
Compliance with the following points is particularly emphasised:

The service lift is only to be used for lifting passenger cars.

The total weight of the lifted car may not exceed the stipulated lifting capacity, whereby a maximum
load distribution of 3:2 in the driving direction or 2:3 against the driving direction is permitted.

While operating the service lift, instructions in the operator's manual are to be complied with.

Only persons who are 18 years old or older and instructed in the use of the service lift are permitted
to use it.

During lifting and lowering movements, no person other than the operator may stand in the way of the
area of movement for loading and service lift.

The transport of passengers on the service lift or in the car being lifted is prohibited.

Climbing on the service lift or in the car being lifted is prohibited.

Following any modifications to the construction and repairs to load-bearing parts, the service lift must
be inspected by an expert. Changes and repairs must be recorded on the master data sheet.

In the event of modifications (i.e. repairs) appropriate safety measures must be met. (Safeguard the
base from sinking with a service support.)

Sufficient clearance between low lying vehicle parts and the service lift should be ensured before
lifting begins.
Not complying with the safety regulations can cause serious injuries as well as damage
to the lifted vehicle.
Make sure that the front wheels are in the straight-ahead position. Before lifting,
prevent the vehicle from rolling away. Pull the hand brake and shift the car into reverse
or first gear. For vehicles with automatic transmission shift the car into the P position.
