Safety regulations
When working with lifts comply with legal accident pre-
vention regulations according to BGG 945: Comply with
inspection of lifts; BGR500, operation of lifts; (VBG14)
Particular attention is drawn to compliance with the fol-
lowing regulations:
• The max. load carrying capacity for lifts may not be
exceeded. For this, see details on the model plate.
• Always follow the operating manual when using the lift.
• The lift must be completely lowered before the vehicle
is driven on, and it may only be done in the intended
direction.
• Vehicles with low floor clearance or fitted with custom
devices are to be checked to see whether damage could
occur before positioning the lifting arm and raising the
vehicle.
• Only personnel aged 18 or over may operate the lift in-
dependently, they must be trained in lift operation and
have their work verified by the company. You must be
explicitly tasked with the operation of the lift. (Excerpt
from BGR500) (See transfer protocol).
• The proper positioning of the carrier plate below the ve-
hicle is to be checked again after the vehicle has been
raised slightly.
• After each set down of the vehicle, check the lifting arm
positions below the fixture points again and adjust as
required.
• When disassembling heavy, consider any possible
centre of mass shifts. The vehicle is to be appropriately
secured using suitable materials (e.g. tensioning belts,
beams, etc.) against falling.
• During lifting or lowering, the work area of the lift
should be clear or people.
• It is prohibited from moving people with the lift.
• Climbing onto the lift and onto a lifted vehicle is pro-
hibited.
• After design and maintenance on load bearing parts
the lift must be inspected by a technical expert.
• Vehicles may only be attached at fixture points ap-
proved by the vehicle manufacturer.
• The entire lifting and lowering process is to be continu-
ously observed.
• It is prohibited to set up a standard lift in explosion en-
dangered workshops and humid spaces (E.g. washing
halls).
• Initial access into the lift may only be done after the
main switch is off and locked
i
Do not use magnets on the
operating column or hang near the oper-
ating elements as it could lead to errors
in the electronics and to asynchronous
running of the lift.

The labels attached to the lift, such as warn-
!
ings, load capacity stickers, type plate and
other information should not come into con-
tact with aggressive liquids or solvents (thin-
ner, acetone, nitro cellulose thinner, brake
cleaner, brake fluid, etc.), acids, alkalis or
other substances, otherwise there is a risk
that the lettering will disappear and the in-
structions or information will no longer be
legible.
