WARNING:
Risks the personnel could encounter, due to an improper use of the lift, are
described in this section.
CRUSHING RISK
During lowering of runways and vehicles, personnel must not be within the area
covered by the lowering trajectory. The operator must be sure no one is in danger before
operating the lift. Stay clear of the lift when lowering or raising vehicles. Keep hands and
feet away from moving parts and especially points that could pinch. Keep your feet clear of
the lift when raising and lowering vehicles.
RISK OF THE VEHICLE FALLING FROM THE LIFT
Risk of the vehicle falling from the lift is increased: when the vehicle is improperly placed on
the platforms, when the vehicle’s weight or physical dimensions exceed the rated capacity
of the lift, or when there is excessive movement of the vehicle while on the lift. If vehicle
appears to begin falling, exit the area as quickly as possible to avoid injury. Always position
vehicle with the center of gravity midway between the adapters. Adding or removing
parts of a vehicle on the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift. Therefore, use of
auxilary safety stands in the front and back of the vehicle is recommended. Never override
the manufactured lift controls. Always use height adapter pads when possible to ensure
proper contact. Only authorized personnel should be allowed in the lift area and the lift
should only be operated by authorized and trianed personnel. Adding or removing parts of a
vehicle on the lift will alter the weight displacement on the lift.
BUMPING RISK
When the lift is stopped at relatively low working height, the risk of bumping against
projecting parts increases. Always be aware of your surroundings and avoid bumping your
head or body on the lift or the vehicle.
