Safety notes:
WARNING
♦ Before driving onto a lifting platform, ensure that there is
sufficient clearance between low-lying components and
lifting platform.
♦ Before driving a vehicle onto a lifting platform it must be
ensured that the vehicle weight does not exceed the per‐
missible lifting capacity of the platform.
♦ Lift vehicle only at points indicated in figure to avoid dam‐
aging vehicle underbody or tipping vehicle.
♦ Never start engine and engage a gear with vehicle lifted
as long as even one driven wheel has contact with the
floor! Disregarding these warnings risks the danger of an
accident!
♦ If work is to be performed under vehicle, it must be sup‐
ported by suitable jack stands.

Caution
♦ If the support plates or lifting arms of the lifting platform
are improperly seated the surrounding parts of the vehicle
may be damaged.
♦ Screw out support plates of the lifting platform in order to
ensure sufficient clearance between lifting arm and side
member. Only use the side member reinforcement as a
mounting point for the support plates of the lifting platform.
