3.1.1. Safety principles
The complete lifting platform system has been
design tested pursuant to EN81-41 and
Machine Directives 98/37/EC and 2006/42/EC.
Wittur cannot accept any warranty for safety
components and parts not included in Wittur's
scope of delivery or for the way they mesh
with Wittur's component in the system.
This lifting platform is state-of-the-art and
built according to the recognised safety rules
for lifting platforms. Nevertheless, there may
be hazards to life and limb of users or third
parties or the lifting platform or other
property may be impaired if it is not used as
intended.
The lifting platform should only be operated as
intended in flawless technical condition
following the operating instructions. Please
also be safety-conscious and aware of
potential hazards. The assembly company or
service
company
should
eliminate
malfunctions that could impair safety.
Hazard from damaged components:
The lifting platform should be shut down if
there are malfunctions that cause the lifting
platform to move in an unintended fashion,
that cause the load suspension device or
counterweight to fall, if the door safeties fail
or if there is a fire in the platform well or drive
room. Only put the lifting platform back into
service when an expert has checked the
platform or the components affected to see if
they are in proper condition and has issued a
certificate on the results.

with malfunctions
Follow this procedure:
- Everyone has to leave the car. Then check to
see whether there are passengers in the car.
- ensure that the car cannot be switched on
again.
- after shutting the lifting platform down and
securing the hazardous area, notify the service
company immediately.
- put signs on the platform well doors to warn
people that the lifting platform is shut down.
