4. Safety regulations
Using automotive lifts for working the regulations of accident EN1493/Aug.98 (CEN/TC 98 „
Automotive lifts”) must be observed.
Especially the following regulations are very important:
• During working with the lift the operating instructions must be followed.
• The laden weight of the lifted vehicle mustn’t be more than 3000 kg for automotive lift.
• Only trained personnel over the age of 18 years old are to operate this lift.
• During lifting or lowering the vehicle it must be observed from the operator.
• Vehicles with low clearance or vehicles that are specially equipped should be pre tested to
ensure that they clear the lift ramp to avoid damage.
• Position the polymer supports as described of the vehicle manufacturer under the vehicle.
• If necessary use the ramps.
• It’s not allowed to stay under the lifted or lowered vehicle (except for the operator).
• It’s not allowed to transport passengers on the lift or in the vehicle.
• It’s not allowed to climb onto the lift or onto a lifted vehicle.
• The automotive lift must be checked from an expert after changes in construction or after
repairing carrying pads.
• It’s not allowed to start with operations at the lift before the main switch is switched off.
• It’s not allowed to install the standard-automotive lift in hazardous location.
• Check the centre of gravity of the vehicle if heavy parts (egg the motor) are removed.
• If heavy parts must be removed (motor) the centre of gravity will change. Secure the vehicle
before removing parts to avoid the possibility of the vehicle becoming insecure.
