6.5 Overloading the lift
In order to avoid damage or injury in connection with overloading (max. 400 kg, evenly
distributed), the FlexStep lift is equipped with overload protection that stops the lift in the event
of overloading and activates an acoustic alarm (see section 10.8) In the event of overloading,
move the lift downward to exit.
6.6 Personal safety
The FlexStep lift is equipped with various safety devices that ensure that the user or other
persons do not come to harm when using the lift.
WARNING! Although the lift is equipped with various safety devices, it must not
be used if there are persons or animals in the vicinity, so as to avoid any risk of
crushing. Never allow children to play with the lift.
6.7 Anti-crushing safety feature
Beneath the entire lift there are a number of pressure plates (the anti-crushing safety feature)
fitted and these are activated in the event of the likelihood of anything becoming crushed
underneath. When the anti-crushing safety feature is activated, the lift stops and moves approx.
2 cm upward, while sounding an acoustic alarm (see section 10.8).
If the anti-crushing safety feature is activated, the operating button must be released. Remove
any items/objects under the lift and then it can again be moved to the “lift down” or “staircase”
position. (Move the lift up a little if necessary in order to remove whatever is under the lift).
IMPORTANT! Be aware that, in the case of outdoor installations, leaves, branches
and snow could affect the anti-crush safety feature and, for this reason, regular checks
should be carried out to ensure that the lift cannot be blocked on its way down.
