Installation and Commissioning
The lift table must be set up in a stable position so that there are no crushing or shearing points between the
lift table and/or the load and objects in the vicinity. Therefore, ensure sufficient space around the lift table. It
must be possible to carry out the intended work on the lift table or the load without obstruction.
The following installation and operating requirements must be observed:
The lift table must be integrated into the existing machinery in such a way that the basic safety require-
ments of the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC are met. This must be checked and ensured by the opera-
tor of the lift table.
The environment must not be explosive.
This operating manual and any supplementary documents must be read carefully and understood.
All safety instructions and regulations must be observed and complied.

Operation
Before operating the lift table, the operator must ensure that no hazards are caused by the
movement of the lift table platform.
Generally wear steel-toed safety shoes and suitable protective work clothing!
9.1
Load and Unload the Lift Table
When loading or unloading the work platform, the load distribution according to section
Load Dis-
tribution and Influence on the Nominal Load
“
must be observed and complied with.
A load placed on the lift table must be secured with suitable measures against slipping, tipping over, rolling
away and falling down. This is particularly necessary for loads that have an unstable position on the plat-
form or that do not rest snugly on the lift table plate due to their shape and/or nature (e.g. rolling objects).
9.2
Moving the Lift Table via Swivel Castors
Before moving the lift table, release the two brakes (
3
) on the long side (see
Figure 4 on next page). After-
wards, it can be moved to the desired location. Before starting to work, lock the two brakes (
3
) again.
Before moving the lift table, the load must always be lowered completely.
Furthermore, the load must be secured by suitable measures against slipping, tipping
over, rolling away and falling down before the lift table is moved.
9.3
Lifting and Lowering the Platform
Before the lift table platform is lifted, the lift table must be fixed in place by the two lockable
brakes on the two front swivel castors.
The procedure for height adjustment follows on the
next page.
Tip:
If you want to use your lift table for a longer time at the same height position (without adjustment), you
can additionally fix it mechanically with the safety catch (see section
