14.3 Adjustment work
63
1.
To begin making adjustments, first roughly level
the runways.
2.
To do so, adjust the 4 cables in such a way that
the loaded runways of the lift are horizontal both
lengthwise and diagonally.
To do this, place a spirit level onto the surface
of the runway first lengthwise and then onto the
cross beam.

3.
Lock the lift into the latch bar.
4.
Adjust the cables with the nuts on the cable
end. Then lock the nuts. Make sure that all
latches are at the same height.
Adjust the runways according to the requirements of
the vehicle manufacturer. To do so, the following
measuring equipment is required:
● Automatic level
● Measuring stand with scale in mm.
5.
Drive the vehicle onto the lift so that the front
wheels stand on the turning radius gauge and
the rear wheels on the slip plate.
The vehicle must come to a halt virtually cen-
tered on the lift in the direction of motion.
6.
Loosen the lock pins on the turning radius
gauge and slip plates. Make sure that the vehi-
cle can now slip easily on the plates and that
no tension exists so that the adjustment work
can be carried out precisely.
7.
Now lower the lift into the bottom position.

8
Position the automatic level so that the meas-
uring stands can be seen positioned one be-
hind the other on the wheel footprints.
9
For each wheel footprint, note the measure-
ments according to the scale on the measuring
stand.
10 Using the 4 cross beam adjustment screws in
the "bottom position“, (
Fig. 25) adjust the
height so that the readings from all 4 measur-
ing points are the same after they have been
checked again.

This concludes the initial adjustment work (initial
measurement).
