Vehicle positioning

DANGER – Risk of incorrect vehicle
positioning!
Risk of (fatal) injury due to the vehicle falling
or tipping up during lifting, when working on
the vehicle and on lowering.
¶
Position the vehicle exactly as described.
1. Make sure the support arms are fully lowered and
swiveled to the maximum clear width.
2. Drive the vehicle into position between the columns
such that it is straight and centered.
!
Heed the direction of travel! The operating unit must
be on the right lifting column when viewed in the
direction of travel.
3. Drive the vehicle forwards until the center of gravity
of the vehicle is on a level with the columns.
i
On many vehicles the center of gravity is roughly on
a level with the front door hinges.
4. Carefully open the door and get out of the vehicle.
!
Take care not to bang the vehicle door against the
column!
5. Check the lifting points specified by the vehicle
manufacturer for stability and corrosion.
6. Swivel the support arms under the vehicle and
position the mounts under the four jacking points.
7. Turn the mounts until they are in full contact with
the jacking points.
!
Never turn the mounts beyond the stop. The
remaining thread length would not guarantee firm
support.
i
Use spacer sleeves if the height adjustment of the
mounts is not sufficient.
!
Only use the spacer sleeves specified by Beissbarth.
Never fit wooden or concrete blocks!
