•
If adjustable mounting plates are available, height differences of the mount-
ing points must be compensated.
•
It is not permitted to work under the lifted load unless it is secured by suita-
ble means (DIN EN 1494).
•
The lifter must always be moved with both hands. If the required manual
force cannot be provided by one person, another person shall be called in.
•
During all movements of the pit lift, the operators must ensure that they do
not endanger themselves or others.
•
If the floor is uneven in the area of the jack, it must be secured against rolling
away.
•
Use of the jack on a surface with a slope of more than 6° is not permitted.
•
No tools or other objects may be placed on the lifting devices of the jack.
•
The jack may only be moved with a load when it is retracted. It must be en-
sured that the load is picked up at the centre of gravity and secured in a suit-
able manner on the load handling attachment (e.g. by lashing straps).
•
When installing and removing heavy vehicle components (en-
gine/aggregates), the position of the centre of gravity may change. In this
case, suitable measures (determination of the centre of gravity, checking of
the pick-up point) must be taken to prevent tipping before the jack is lifted
again.
•
Before lowering, the operator must ensure that there are no objects in the
movement range of the jack and load.
•
Load handling attachments must not be deliberately set in vibration.
•
As the chassis is not secured against tipping on the ground, side loading is
generally prohibited.
•
The oil level in the hydraulic system must be checked regularly by trained
personnel.
•
The completeness and legibility of the safety instructions on the jack must
be checked annually.
•
In the event of malfunctions, the range of movement of the jack and load
must be secured. Take the jack out of operation and notify customer service.
•
The operator must ensure suitable lighting conditions at the workplace.
•
In order to avoid unattended lifting of the load (possibly due to a leaking
valve), it is essential to disconnect the jack from the compressed air supply
or shut off the compressed air supply line at the end of operation.
•
The hydraulic components must be checked annually.
•
Personal protective equipment must be worn.
•
The pressure relief valve must not be adjusted above the value specified by
the manufacturer and only by authorized personnel.
•
Troubleshooting is only allowed by authorized personnel.
•
Observe the notes on correct assembly and disassembly in the operating in-
structions.
