General Operating Instructions for Lifting Accessories
WARNING
Support tubes must not be extended. Risk of tilting!
Danger of crushing at the edge of the pit and support bridge!
The support system shall only be removed if the vehicle is in a secure stable posi-
tion.
Beware of changes in the centre of gravity of the load, e.g. in case of different
amounts of fuel in asymmetric fuel systems. If necessary, use suitable lifting acces-
sories.
Take note of the operating instructions of all equipment and tools used.
Check lifting accessories carefully for operational safety.
Pre-position the lift and lifting accessory at the lift points.
Always take up the load securely, without risk of slipping and central to the centre
of gravity.
Position actuators, supports and bases at the support points and depending on
type, fix support pipes with pins and secure with cotter pins or wooden blocks with
a minimum spacing of 500 mm.
Slowly raise or lower the load, watching it continuously.
Set down the load without risk of slipping and central to the centre of gravity.
