5.1. Identifying the working position
In order to work in complete safety, it is necessary that the operator be
positioned at a distance of 3.00 m from the edge of the machine, without
interfering with any other equipment, so as to be able to directly monitor the
lifting and/or lowering operations without being impeded from quickly
distancing himself/herself. For this reason, a rectangular area of at least
8.00 m by 6.90 m must be available within the garage.
The flooring must be perfectly level and horizontal, and its concrete must
possess, as a minimum, the characteristics described in the previous section.
If the floor’s surface should be rough, irregular and/or not level, suitable
spacers must be placed beneath the base of the lift in order to ensure that
its support and anchoring points are level.
Failure to observe this requirement could compromise the
opening/closing functionality of the arms and could result in
structural loads which were not taken into consideration during the
hydraulic power lift’s design and testing which could, in turn, lead to
the deformation of the equipment.
