2.4 Emergency
procedure
If you or another person working on or operating the liftgate experience a dangerous
situation: Immediately stop what you’re doing and seek expert help.
2.5 Safety devices on the liftgate
Hose rupture valves
If a hose, pipe, or screw connection bursts, the liftgate lowers or tilts in a controlled
manner at the permitted speed for as long as a function is being performed via one of the
control units (control panel, handheld control, manual control box, or foot controls). Once
the control unit is no longer being activated, the liftgate stops immediately.
Safety valve
The factory-set safety valve protects the liftgate against lifting loads that are heavier than
the specified load-carrying capacity. This valve may be adjusted only by a qualified
specialist using a test weight and a manometer.
Fuses
Defective fuses may only be replaced by fuses that correspond to the values specified in
the circuit diagram and on the control unit. Larger fuses may not be triggered by
malfunctions, which could result in cables catching fire.
2.6 Intended
use
Depending on the type, the MAXON liftgate was developed for vehicles ranging from
trucks to trailers, including semitrailers. The liftgate is used for both loading and
unloading the vehicle and for transferring loads. Do not use the liftgate to lift any person
other than the operator. Any other use is prohibited.
WARNING
Incorrect or improper use or handling of the liftgate or, for example, errors caused by its
being operated by unqualified personnel can create risks for operators and bystanders
that may result in serious or fatal injuries.
IMPORTANT
To ensure safe operation of the liftgate, read the safety instructions and
warnings in the user manual provided.
