7. Life Phases
7.3 Important information on installation and putting into operation
It is essential that you note and obey the following instructions. Otherwise, people
may be injured or the lifting column or other components may be damaged.
•
This lifting column must not have additional drilled holes.
•
This lifting column must not be used for outside operation.
•
The lifting column must be protected against moisture penetration.
•
Each time before the lifting column is put into operation, you must protect the top and bot-
tom against entry.
•
Before being put into operation, the lifting column must be attached to a base. The
attachment is performed on the stand/contact surface on the motor side. The base must be
able to withstand the mechanical load of the application. The attachment on the base is per-
formed using the baseplate or a direct, full-surface attachment of the lifting column profile.
•
When fastening bear in mind that the stand surfaces and contact surfaces must completely
rest on a metal surface that is at least 5 mm thick.
•
After setting up and putting into operation, it is essential that the mains plug is freely acces-
sible.
•
You must not open the lifting column. Observe the safety information attached to the lifting
column.
•
The user must ensure that there is no danger when the mains plug is inserted.
•
It must not be possible for the lifting column to fall over in use due to lateral forces.
•
When designing tables, etc. take care to avoid crushing and shear points. These are to be pro-
tected appropriately.
•
Possible failure of limit switches must be considered in the construction. The relevant stop po-
sitions must be set up as required. Particularly in the case of overhead mounting or if there is
tensile load, an external extension safeguard must be provided.
•
Automatic start-up of the column due to a fault is to be stopped immediately by pulling out
the mains plug.
•
If a mains lead and/or feed line is damaged, the lifting column is to be taken out of service
immediately.
•
All cables must be routed correctly to avoid the risk of tripping.
