Risks the personnel could encounter, due to an improper use of the lift, are described in this
section�
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 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�
