USER’S MANUAL
Fig. 10 Working Area
3.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The operator and the maintenance fitter are required to
observe the prescriptions of accident prevention legislation
in force in the country of installation of the lift.
Furthermore, the operator and the maintenance fitter must:
◆ Always work in the scheduled working area as shown
in the manual;
◆ Never remove or deactivate the guards and
mechanical, electrical, or other types of safety devices;
◆ Read the safety notices affixed to the machine and the
safety information in this manual.
In the manual all safety notices are shown as follows:
DANGER: indicates imminent danger that can result in
serious injury or death.
WARNING: indicates situations and/or types of maneuvers
that are unsafe and can cause injuries of various degrees or
death.
CAUTION: indicates situations and/or types of maneuvers
that are unsafe and can cause minor injury to persons and/
or damage the lift, the vehicle or other psaltery.
3.3 RISKS AND PROTECTION DEVICE
We shall now examine the risks to which the operator and
the maintenance fitters may be exposed when the vehicle is
immobilized in the raised position, together with the
protection devices and adopted by the manufacture to
reduce all such hazards to the minimum.
3.4 LONGITUDINAL AND LATERAL
MOVEMENT
Longitudinal movement is considered the backward and
forward shifting of the load.
Lateral movement implies the shifting to the left or right of
the vehicle, especially during the lifting phase on the rack.
These movements can be avoided by positioning the
vehicle correctly on the arm disk support plates, which
must be previously adjusted to the same height (by
loosening or tightening) as the vehicle.
Do not move the vehicle in relation to the arms or adjust
arms and disk support plates until the arms have been
totally lowered, i.e. the disk support plates must be free
from all contact with the vehicle.
3.2 RISKS OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
Specific safety notice affixed to the lift in areas where the
risk of electric shock is particularly high.
