SAFETY DEVICES
The following safety devices have been installed to prevent overloading and damage.
- A hydraulic protection prevents descending of the lift in case of hose fracture.
- Thermal protection switches the power off in case of overloading.
- Overpressure valve offers protection against damage due to excessive lifting.
- A limit-switch to limit the upward movements
- A buzzer warns you about the risk of crushing when the lift is brought to its lowest position.
- Bolts for fixing the lift to the ground
RISKS TO PEOPLE
This paragraph describes the risks to which the operator or any other person near the working area where the lift
is in operation are exposed, if the lift is not used in the appropriate manner.
Never rest any fittings or other objects against the platform and never place such objects under the platform when
there is a load on it, since this can impede the lowering operations and may cause the vehicle to fall off the
platform. (Figure 2)

RISK OF USE / MAINTENANCE
Blackhawk uses material of the highest quality in its lifts. These must be used according to the standard specified,
and maintenance must be carried out regularly.
RISKS INVOLVED IN POSITIONING A VEHICLE
This type of risk may arise if the vehicle is not properly placed on the rubber supports (figure 3), or if the platforms
are not properly aligned with respect to the vehicle. One can avoid this by always lifting the vehicle using the car-
jack support points, and placing the vehicle as far as possible in the centre of the platform.
CAUTION
While dismantling heavy parts (for example the motor or shafts), please note that the weight distribution ratios
change.
