The operator and the person in charge of maintenance must follow accident-prevention
laws and rules in force in the country where the lift is installed.
They also must carry out the following:

follow the safety indications applied on the machine and included in the manual;

• be sure the motor of the vehicle is off, the gear engaged and the parking brake put
on;
• be sure only authorized vehicles are lifted without exceeding the maximum lifting
capacity;
• verify that no one is on the platforms during lifting or standing.
To avoid overloading and possible breaking, the following safety devices have been used:
A maximum pressure valve placed inside the hydraulic unit to prevent excessive weight.
A special design of the hydraulic system, in case of pipeline failure, to prevent sudden
lift lowering.
All risks the personnel could run, due to an improper use of the lift, are described in
this section.
During lowering of runways and vehicles, personnel must not be within the area covered
by the lowering trajectory. The operator must be sure no one is in danger before ope-
