9.8 Operating
The safety guidelines in the chapter General safety instructions should be carefully read before operating
and must be strictly adhered to during operation.
9.8.1 Use of the Lifting Platform:

Be sure that the lifting platform is completely retracted. .

Load the service lift with a vehicle over the ramps.

Make sure that the vehicle is centred in both length- and width-wise on the platform.

Secure the vehicle from rolling away by engaging the hand brake and shifting into gear.
9.8.2 Lifting the Platform:

Ensure that the vehicle is securely on the lift platform.

Make certain that the lift platform can be safely raised.

Proceed with lifting until the desired height is achieved. After the desired height is achieved, put the
gear lever into the 0 position (neutral). The lift platform remains at this height. After releasing the gear
lever, the lever automatically returns to the 0 position (neutral) and lifting ceases. Lifting automatically
stops once the maximal lift height is achieved.
Care must be taken during lifting, that the safety catch is securely engaged in the gear
teeth on each side after each lifting movement (especially between movements
smaller than the lift max.) This is noticeable through a clearly audible "clicking"
sound.
9.8.3 Lowering the Platform:

Areas subject to danger must be monitored before lowering and no persons or objects may be in the
operation area of the service lift before lowering takes place.

The interim drive over ramps must be raised.

Switch the gear lever of the operating unit to "Lower".

Lowering ends when the service lift has returned to its initial position. Stopping the lowering
movement is possible at all times by switching the gear lever to the '0' position (neutral). Releasing
the gear lever automatically causes the lever to switch back to the '0' position and thus interrupts the
lowering movement.
9.8.4 Exiting the Platform

Make sure that the service platform is completely retracted.

Carefully remove the vehicle from the service platform.
