10.5 Lift
Lifting safety
WARNING
The permissible load capacity must not be exceeded.
The load and pit jack must be monitored by the operator during the entire lifting
and lowering process. In the event of irregularities, stop the lifting/lowering
movement and support the load appropriately.
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.
Only loads that are suitable for the lifting equipment due to the shape and
position of the lifting points may be lifted.
The load may only be lifted at the component's center of gravity (axle, gearbox,
motor, etc.).
The vehicle must be able to roll during the lifting and lowering movement. So
that the load can center itself over the pit jack.
The jack must not be used on a surface with an inclination of more than 1°.
If there are height differences between the mounting points, height-adjustable
mounts must be used.
Vehicles may only be lifted if the pick-up is undamaged. Risk of vehicle falling
and causing personal injury.
The center of gravity may change when installing and removing heavy vehicle
components (engine/power units). In this case, suitable measures (determining
the center of gravity, checking the pick-up point) must be taken to prevent
tipping.
The vehicle or unit must be lashed to the jack 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.
