The following terms have been used in
this Manual to describe the various
types of risk :
DANGER :
there is a direct possibility of
danger which could lead to serious
injury or death.
WARNING:
this indicates situations
and/or actions which are unsafe and
could lead to injuries of various types
except death.
CAUTION :
this indicates situations
and/or actions, which are unsafe and
could lead to light injuries to persons
and/or damage to the lift, the vehicle or
other properties.
RISK OF DAMAGE DUE TO
ELECTRICITY :
Special safety
arrangements have been made on the
lift in places where the risks are very
high.
RISKS AND PROTECTIVE MEDIA
The risks to which the operator is
exposed when the vehicle is in a raised
position, together with the protective
media which have been installed, in
order to limit the possible dangers.
LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL
MOVEMENTS OF THE VEHICLE.
Longitudinal and lateral movements
include the following : forward- and
backward movements of the load (the
vehicle). Lateral movements include
displacement of the vehicle to the left or
the right, particularly during the lifting
process. These movements can be
prevented by placing the vehicle
securely on the support arm rubbers (on
the car-jack support points).
WARNING
Do not move the vehicle when
it is on the platform. The
platforms and the rubber fittings
should only be removed at the lowest
lifting position, and when there is no
load.
It is extremely important that the vehicle
is placed on the lift in such a manner
that there is an uniform distribution of
weight over the platforms
(Fig. 7).
Please note that the motor side of the
vehicle must be placed on the side
which cannot be pushed out.
Fig. 7
To ensure the safety of persons and of
materials, you must see to it that :
n
The safety zone is kept under
observation during the lifting
process.
n
The motor of the vehicle is switched
off, that it is in gear, and that the
handbrake is also fully applied.
n
The vehicle must be lifted on the
car-jack support points.
n
Due account has been taken of all
the dimensions and weights.
RISKS INVOLVED IN LIFTING A
VEHICLE
The following safety arrangements have
been installed to prevent overloading
and damage :
n
Limit switches limit the lifting and
lowering motion
n
Overpressure valves protect the lift
against damage caused by
excessively high oil pressure.
n
The hose rupture protection
arrangements prevent the platform
from sinking back to the original
position in case any hoses get
ruptured.
n
The thermal protection cuts off the
power in case of overloading.
RISKS TO PERSONS
This paragraph describes the risks to
which the operator or any other person
near the working area where the lift is in
operation, in case the lift is not used in
the appropriate manner.
RISKS FOR THE OPERATOR (Fig. 8)
This risk arises in cases where the
operator is not standing at the
appointed place at the control cabinet;
when the lift with the vehicle is being
lowered, it is not permissible for the
operator to stand below the descending
system and its load to any extent. It is
imperative that the operator must be
standing in the operating zone during
the lifting and lowering operation.
Fig. 8
RISKS TO PERSONNEL
When the lift with the vehicle is moving
downward, it is not permissible for any
of the personnel to enter the room or
walk under the (downward) moving
parts of the lift.
(Fig. 9
)
The operator should not start the motion
of the lift until he has assured himself
that there are no persons within the
danger zone.
.
Fig. 9
CAUTION AGAINST COLLIDING ANY
PART OF THE SYSTEM
This is relevant in cases where the lift or
the vehicle are at head height. When
the lift is at standstill at a lower level, the
personnel should take care to see that
they do not bump into parts of the lift or
the vehicle.
(Fig. 10
