Consul 2.35 - Emergency Lowering Procedures; Emergency Lowering Procedure II

OPERATING & INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION 2-POST-LIFT
Emergency lowering II
Important:
While in the emergency lowering procedure. The automatic end limits are switched off. It is possible to drive the lift into
the floor causing damage.
Notes:
The procedure described below for the emergency lowering of the lift may only be undertaken by authorised, trained
personnel. A second person should watch the procedure from outside the operating area to ensure the safety of the
operator and vehicle.
The emergency lowering procedure must be terminated immediately, if any danger should arise. Restarting the
emergency lowering procedure should begin again once the cause of the danger has been removed. It is only possible to
lower the lift once, making sure that the bad carrying parts do not touch the floor.
Operating the emergency lowering procedure:
Emergency lowering using the motors can be necessary if the electronic controls fail. If other elements fail, then the lift
should be lowered manually (by turning the bolt on the large pulley).
The main switch must be on the „off“ position. The screws should be inserted into the two contactors and locked into
position (as shown in the diagram) to enable emergency lowering.
If the two sides are not synchronised then by locking only one contactor, the arms can be brought on the same level.
Extreme care must be taken and levelling should be done in small steps.

procedure can be carried out by loosely inserting the switch toggle after removing it from the lid.
Warning: No automatic end switching-off.
When the maximum necessary lower position of the load carrying equipment has ben reached, immediately
set the main switch to 0 and remove the locking immediately. Moving the unit upwards again with the locking
screw in position is not permitted. The lift must not be used again until all defects have been repaired by
authorised personnel.
