The lift may only be used according to regulations,
in a fully functional condition according to the
technical data in chapter 3.3.
The max load capacity of the whole lift is 3500 kg
and may not be exceeded.
Operators may stand under the raised load.

Risk of injury if used incorrectly.

DANGER
 ALWAYS raise the vehicle with all four (4)
adapters! Never lift only one end, one corner
or one side of the vehicle.

2.2 Incorrect use

Incorrect use presents a residual risk to the life and
health of the people working in the lift zone.
The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage
resulting from use other than the intended purpose
and misconduct.
The following is prohibited:
 Climbing onto or riding on the load or pick-up
equipment.
 Loitering under the load when raising or
lowering.
 Raising vehicles loaded with hazardous
substances.
 Installing the lift in areas at risk from explosion.
 Using the lift for washing vehicles and under any
other conditions not expressly specified in the
operating manual,

3.5 Permitted weight distribution 3

Figure 3: Vehicle centre of gravity

 The weight distribution on the adapters is
reversible for this post lift: The heavy load can
either be placed on the long or the short arms
P1 (1/3) - P2 (2/3) of the maximum load.

Figure 3: Minimum distance between two

adapters
 Not less than 1000 mm
 If the distance is less, the load capacity of the lift
will be reduced

The weight distribution must match the

i guidelines specified in this chapter. We
therefore recommend distributing the weight
as centrally as possible in relation to the axis
of the posts.

3.6 Safety mechanisms 5

Figures 5 ... 9: Safety mechanisms

Electrical
 Emergency stop button on the control unit
(Figure 5)
 Broken chain and slack chain switch (lifting
chain): consists of a micro switch, which is fitted
in each column at the bottom. This module
permits any movement of the lift to be halted if a
chain is broken or unusually slack. (Figure 6)
Hydraulic
 Broken line switch: consists of a valve in a 6
hydraulic cylinder. This valve is designed to limit
the lowering rate if the hydraulic line fails
(breaks). It is set so that the lowering rate does
not exceed the nominal rate by more than 1.5 x.
Mechanical
 Mechanical latching system: consists essentially
of a spring-loaded latch which is fitted on each
column, as well as a bar with notches on each
slider block. This latch and bar assembly stops
the lift from accidentally dropping in the event of
a leak in the hydraulic system or breaks in the
system components (Figure 7)
 Arm restraints: consist of a ring gear on the end
of the arm which engages the pinion of the lift
slide. This assembly is activated as soon as the
slide leaves its lowest point to prevent the arms
from slewing. (Figure 8) 7
 Mechanical synchronisation control: consists of
two synchronisation cables which connect the
slider blocks to each other. The cables prevent
incorrect alignment of one slider in relation to
the other slider if the weight is unevenly
balanced crosswise. (Figure 9)
Ergonomics
 Foot protection: metal plates on both sides of
the base plate of both columns and a metal
baffle plate in the outside of the arms which
prevent a foot becoming trapped under the
slider block or arm(s).

3 Up button
Press this button to actuate the hydraulic power
9 unit and raise the slider block. This works on the
dead man’s switch principle, meaning that when
the button is released, raising of the lift is halted
immediately.

4 Down button
When this button is pressed and the latching
system lever is activated at the same time (s.
Figure 7), the slider block is lowered. This
works on the dead man’s switch principle,
meaning that when the button is released,
lowering of the lift is halted immediately. The
system is also locked by the latching
mechanism. Before lowering, the latching
mechanism must first be released. If the lever
cannot be released, the latch has engaged.
The lift must first be raised a little to finally
release the system. Only then can you lower
the lift.

 Always unload the packing unit with a forklift
truck or a pallet jack with sufficient load
capacity and transport it to the storage point.
 Always use hoisting equipment (straps,
chains, etc.) approved for the total weight.
 Attach them so that the load cannot slip
(check the centre of gravity of the load).
 Always fasten individual components to load-
bearing parts. Only lift vertically, steadily, and
without jolting.
 Carry out a visual inspection before unloading.
 Secure loose parts.
 When raising or lowering, always monitor the
danger zones.
 Always transport hydraulic components
without oil.
 Protect controls and hydraulic units against
adverse weather conditions and avoid sudden
fluctuations in temperature

10.3 Unpacking
 Unpack the lift with the forwarder still present.
 After removing the packaging, carry out a visual
inspection to ensure that the various components
of the lift are OK (arms, columns, control units,
etc.)
 If damage is found, please note this on the
shipping documents. Do not commission the lift
and contact your authorised dealer immediately.
 Packaging materials (polythene, plastic sheets,
polystyrene, boxes, pins, screws, wood, etc.)
must be kept out of reach of children, since they
pose a potential hazard. Always dispose of the
environmentally unfriendly and non-
biodegradable materials at the appropriate
collection points. Please comply with any local
regulations and standards.

 Check all functions of the controls and ensure
that they react in accordance to the symbols.

 Do the same for the broken chain control of the
opposite column.

e) Arm restraint
 Each pinion must engage in the corresponding
ring gear, as soon as the slider block is raised
from the floor. If one of the pinions does not
engage, the bolt remains in its top position.
 Adjust the arm restraint accordingly.
 Slider block in the bottom position: Pull on the
end of each arm to ensure that the stop bolt
prevents the arm from moving further outwards.
Otherwise restore the arm to its original position
and tighten the stop bolt.
