5.1 Safety Instructions for Operation
WARNING
•
The jack may only be operated by trained persons who have reached the age
of 18.
•
The operator is responsible for ensuring that the operator has been instruct-
ed and is familiar with the operating instructions.
•
The operator must check the safety devices before commissioning.
•
The load capacity specified on the type plate must not be exceeded.
•
For vehicles that need to be lifted at two points, use clip-on axle traverses.
•
When driving a vehicle up and down the pit of the lifter, no persons may be in
the danger zone.
•
Positioning of the jack under the load may only be performed by trained per-
sonnel.
•
The vehicle or vehicle components may only be picked up at the points pro-
vided for this purpose.
•
Only vehicles and vehicle components that are suitable for the lifting equip-
ment due to the shape and position of the lifting points may be lifted.
•
During the lifting and lowering process, the operator must exercise extreme
caution and circumspection in overlooking the load and the danger area. If
this cannot be ensured by one person, another person must be called in.
•
After briefly lifting the vehicle free by the jack, check that the vehicle is se-
curely picked up.
•
Load and lifter must be observed by the operator during the lifting and lower-
ing process.
•
Riding with the load or on the load handling attachment is prohibited.
•
If the safety area cannot be completely overlooked by the operator, it must be
monitored by a trained second person.
•
During the lifting and lowering process, no persons may be in the movement
area of the lifter and load.
•
After completing the lifting operation, remove the pump operating lever (if
present) and place it in the designated location.
•
The load may only be lifted at the component's center of gravity (axle, gear-
box, engine,...); the vehicle must be able to roll during the lifting and lowering
movement. This allows the load to center itself over the lifter.
•
Loads must be applied to the load handling attachment in such a way that
unintentional changes in position are prevented.
•
Height differences of the pick-up points must be compensated (for example
with adjustable pick-up plates).
