11.1 Air bags characteristics and durability
The air bags are a flexible element developed and designed specifically for use in lift platforms. The rubber
covering reduces the aging process and should be especially carefully checked. Experience shows that well
kept air bags have a life expectancy of over 20 years.
Tips for a long operating life:

Use dry as well as non lubricated compressed air.

Protect from UV radiation (i.e. through welding or the use of a UV dryer).

Avoid the use of chemical agents.

Protect the unit from damage (grooving, etc.).

Adhere to maintenance and care instructions (see Chapter Maintenance ).
Damaged air bags must be replaced. Only original parts from the manufacturer are permitted to be used.
11.2 Notice about filter regulator and air line
The filter regulator is not included in the scope of delivery of the lift platform. A filter regulator must be
installed in the mains connection (provided by the customer). Only dehumidified, non lubricated compressed
air should be used. Follow maintenance and cleaning of the filter regulator, consult the information and
instructions of the filter regulator manufacturer.
11.3 Notice about the sliding area of the scissors
Due to the design principles of the sliding surfaces of the scissors, great force is exerted. This force can lead
to scoring on the sliding surfaces. However, the function of the service lift will not be compromised. The
maintenance intervals and instructions outlined in the
Chapter Maintenance are to be observed.
