• Observe the detailed operating instruction.
• The laden weight of the lifted vehicle must not exceed 3500 kg for the automotive lift. The
maximum load distribution is 2:1 in or against the drive-on direction.
• Observe the centre of gravity of the vehicle.
• The automotive lift must be in its lowest position, before the vehicle can be driving into
the lift. Only then the vehicle can be lifted.
• Position the rubber pads at the pick-up points under the vehicle as described of the
vehicle manufacturer.

• During lifting or lowering the operator must observe the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle
and the lift are functioning correctly.
• Installation of the standard vehicle lift in hazardous or dangerous locations such as
washing bays is dangerous and is not allowed.
• Check the centre of gravity of the vehicle if heavy parts (egg the motor) are removed.
• If heavy parts must be removed (motor) the centre of gravity will change. Secure the
vehicle before removing parts to avoid the possibility of the vehicle becoming insecure.
• At vehicles with low sub-ground clearance or with optional equipment (sport equipment)
or sport-vehicles, it is to be tested previously whether damages can appear.
