Operation & Service Manual (VA) 45 ST1175
6.4.5 Slow lowering
1. Press the [SLOW LOWERING] button (turtle symbol). This function is activated if
the LED in the button is illuminated.
2. Press the button again to deactivate the function.
If the "SLOW LOWERING" function has been activated, the lowering speed of the
column lifts will be reduced to 1/3 of the normal speed. This can be used when
removing gearboxes or to allow the vehicle to carefully be lowered onto an axle
support.
A column lift may come to a standstill when lowering columns if the "SLOW
LOWERING" function has been activated, to cancel elevation differences. Once
the height difference has been leveled, the column will again be lowered.
6.4.6 Lowering into the safety locks
For lowering onto the safety locks, simply press the [DOWN] button.
The column lifts will then lower no more than 1 3/8", until the safety pawls engage
the teeth in the safety lock profile. The drop-safeguard pawls can then no longer
be released. If the [UNLOCK] button is now pressed, there will be no sound of the
pawls being released. Raise the column lifts again (to relieve the safety lock) so
that the column lifts can resume lowering.
Always lower the column lifts into the safety locks before carrying out any work
beneath the vehicle.
The buttons for raising, normal lowering and lowering into the safety locks are of
the "dead man" type (hold to run). Operation continues as long as the button
remains pressed, and stops immediately once the button is released.
In the event of malfunction, consult the section Troubleshooting.
