10.3 Positioning
Positioning safety
WARNING
Before driving into the pit, the jacks must be in the lower home position to
prevent damage to the jack and vehicle.
Only drive in the pit at walking speed and only if there are no persons in the pit
or on the driveway.
The runway for the pit jack and chassis must be free of dirt.
The pit jack may only be moved with a load when it is retracted. It must be
ensured that the load is picked up at the center of gravity and secured in a
suitable manner on the load handling attachment (e.g. with lashing straps).
The pit jacks are supplied with a simple holder as standard. MAHA can supply
suitable load handling attachments for loads that cannot be lifted safely with
these. When using these, the corresponding BAL of the accessory must be
observed.
When positioning and attaching to the load, please note that even when the lift
button is released, the cylinder can continue to run and extend due to the
system.
Move the pit jack under the load when lowered.
Move the load handling attachment close to the pick-up point and wait for the
overrun if necessary.
After checking that the load can be picked up safely, secure the jack with the
brake in the chassis where available.
After briefly lifting it free, check that the vehicle is securely attached. If
necessary, lower the vehicle and pick up again.

WARNING
When positioning and attaching to the load, please note that even when the lift
