• It is forbidden to overload the lift: use of the lift is allowed only and exclusively for lifting weights falling within the load capacity indicated in
the table TECHNICAL DATA.
• It is mandatory to place the motor-vehicles on the lift in a way that the weight is well distributed and centered; the doors must remain closed;
no objects shall protrude out of the motor-vehicle's outside dimensions; the motor-vehicle's center of gravity must fall within the four
rests; when some of the motor-vehicle's parts are disassembled, the center of gravity may move.
