4.2 Additional safety-regulations
The following regulations are very important:
• The laden weight of the lifted vehicle must not exceed 4000kg.
The maximum load distribution is 2:1 in or against the drive-on direction.
• The automotive lift must be in its lowest position, before the vehicle can be driven onto or
off the lift and can only be driven onto or off the lift from the drive on side.
• While working with the lift the operating instructions must be followed.
• Any vehicles with low clearance or vehicles with optional equipment should be pre tested to
ensure that they clear the lift ramp to avoid damage.
• Only trained personnel over the age of 18 years old are to operate this lift.
• No one is to stand within the working area (danger area) during lifting and lowering
• No one is to be raised or lowed either directly or in a vehicle by the automotive lift.
• No one is to climb onto the automotive lift or onto an already raised vehicle.
• Position the lifting pads under the vehicle as directed by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Check the centre of gravity of the vehicle if heavy parts (e.g. the engine) are to be
removed.
• If heavy parts must be removed (e.g. engine) the centre of gravity will change. Secure the
vehicle before removing parts to avoid the possibility of the vehicle becoming insecure.
• The automotive lift must be checked by an expert after changes in construction or after
repairing carrying pads.
• The main switch must be switched off and locked before work on the vehicle can
commence. This is a safety precaution to ensure that the lift does not move during work.
The main switch must be switched off and locked before any maintenance or repair work
on the automotive lift itself can be carried out.
