Safety Information
WARNING
Observe the detailed operating instructions.
Comply with legal accident prevention regulations.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Carry out visual and operational checks daily before the commencement of work
(see also section “Test and Maintenance Schedule”).
Defects must be corrected immediately in a competent manner.
The rated load capacity according to the type plate must not be exceeded.
Only vehicles suitable for the lifting equipment due to their shape and the position-
ing of their pick-up points may be lifted.
Operation of the lift is only permissible with mounted and intact protective covers
and safety devices.
Never touch moving parts.
Never use additional lifting gear for an already raised load.
Before driving a vehicle onto the lift, the support arms must be in their lowered
initial position and moved backwards completely. Otherwise damage to the equip-
ment may occur.
Driving onto the lift should be at walking pace only and as close to the centre of the
columns as possible.
Vehicles may only be lifted with support arm locks intact and undamaged support
discs. Risk of vehicle falling and causing personal injury.
Support disc raisers may only be used in their single form. A combination of support
disc raisers per support disc is not permitted.
Maintain a safe distance from the vehicle and lift in all directions.
Keep the movement range of the load and lift free from obstacles. Use a guide if
visibility is restricted.
Vehicles doors must be closed during lifting and lowering.
The vehicle can be strapped to the lift if necessary. Shifts in the centre of gravity of
the vehicle through installation/removal of heavy vehicle parts may otherwise lead
to the vehicle sliding off.
After raising just off the floor, check that the vehicle has been picked up securely
and that the support arms are locked correctly. If necessary, lower the vehicle and
pick up again.
The transport of passengers is prohibited.
