6.2 Risks During Vehicle Lifting
To avoid overloading and possible breaking, the following safety devices have
been used:
• a maximum pressure valve placed inside the hydraulic unit to prevent
excessive weight.
• a special design of the hydraulic system, in case of pipeline failure, to
prevent sudden lift lowering.
The maximum pressure valve has been preset by the
manufacturer to a proper pressure. DO NOT try to adjust it to
overrun the rated lifting capacity.
6.3 Risks For People
All risks the personnel could run, due to an improper use of the lift, are
described in this section.
6.4 Personnel Crushing Risks
During lowering of runways and vehicles, personnel must not be within the
area covered by the lowering trajectory. The operator must be sure no one is in
danger before operating the lift.
6.5 Bumping Risk
When the lift is stopped at relatively low height for working, the risk of bumping
against projecting parts occurs.
6.6 Risk Of The Vehicle Falling From The Lift
Vehicle falling from the lift can be caused when the vehicle is improperly placed
on platforms, and when its dimensions are incompatible with the lift or by
excessive movement of the vehicle.
In this case, keep immediately away from the working area.
