5. SAFETY
It is important to read point number 5 of
this manual properly since it contains
important information about the risks
which the operator of the lift will be
exposed to if the lift is not used
properly. In what follows, you will find
information about how to avoid
dangerous situations.
WARNING
The lift is designed and
constructed to lift vehicles and
to hold them in a certain position in a
covered working place. Any other form
of use is not permitted. In short, the lift
is not suitable for the following
purposes:
Washing and spraying work.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS:
•The operator is bound to follow the
regulations which apply in the
country in which these lifts are
installed.
In addition, the operator must :
•Always work in the operator area as
designated in the manual.
•Never remove the protective guards
or dismantle or shut down the
mechanical, electrical or other types
of safety arrangements.
•Read the safety regulations relating
to the lift and take cognisance of the
safety information provided in this
manual.
The following terms have been used in
this manual to describe the various
types of risk :
DANGER : there is a direct possibility of
danger which could lead to serious
injury or death.
WARNING: this indicates situations
and/or actions which are unsafe and
could lead to injuries of various types
except death.
CAUTION : this indicates situations
and/or actions, which are unsafe and
could lead to light injuries to persons
and/or damage to the lift, the vehicle or
other properties.
RISK OF DAMAGE DUE TO
ELECTRICITY : Special safety
arrangements have been made on the
lift in places where the risks are very
high.
RISKS AND PROTECTIVE MEDIA
The risks to which the operator is
exposed when the vehicle is in a raised
position, together with the protective
media which have been installed, in
order to limit the possible dangers.
HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH
LIFTING OF A VEHICLE
The following provisions have been
made to avoid damage from excess
weight:
1. Cable breach security: in each
column a safety bar (catch bar)
has been fitted parallel to the
cable, which in the event of the
cable breaking will automatically
support the raised section
2. Microswitches: microswitches have
been fitted to the ends of the
crossbeams to control the cable
voltage. Should the voltage to the
cable be interrupted, by for
example impact with an obstacle
during lowering, the lifting bridge
will stop its descent.
3. Leakage and breakage protection:
a pipe-breakage valve has been
fitted in the cylinder head that will
in the event of pipe breakage
reduce the rate of descent of the
tracks.
4. Acoustic signal: the lifting bridge
will during its descent produce an
acoustic signal.
5. Lifting bridge locking: next to the
catch bar in each column a locking
mechanism has been installed.
This consists of a strip in which
grooves have been cut at regular
intervals and with them slide locks
that are shot into them by a spring
when the raising/lowering button is
released.
6. Roll-on and roll-off protection:
there is on the front end of the
tracks roll-off protection, on the
rear side at the point of entry these
are automatically elevated upon
lifting.
7. Thermal protection: the electric
motor is fitted with thermal
protection, which guards the motor
from overheating.
RISKS TO PERSONS
This paragraph describes the risks to
which the operator or any other person
near the working area where the lift is in
operation, in case the lift is not used in
the appropriate manner.
RISKS FOR THE OPERATOR (Fig. 8)
This risk arises in cases where the
operator is not standing at the
appointed place at the control cabinet;
when the lift with the vehicle is being
lowered, it is not permissible for the
operator to stand below the descending
system and its load to any extent. It is
imperative that the operator must be
standing in the operating zone during
the lifting and lowering operation.
Fig.7
RISKS TO PERSONNEL
When the lift with the vehicle is moving
downward, it is not permissible for any
of the personnel to enter the room or
walk under the (downward) moving
parts of the lift.(Fig. 8)
The operator should not start the motion
of the lift until he has assured himself
that there are no persons within the
danger zone.
Fig.8
CAUTION AGAINST COLLIDING ANY
PART OF THE SYSTEM
This is relevant in cases where the lift or
the vehicle are at head height. When
the lift is at standstill at a lower level, the
personnel should take care to see that
they do not bump into parts of the lift or
the vehicle. (Fig.9)

LOWERING BUTTON (13)Recessed
button that must be held during lowering
(so-called dead man’s handle).
Fig.9
Never rest any fittings or other objects
against the platform and never place
such objects under the platform when it
has a load mounted on it, since this can
impede the lowering operations and
may cause the vehicle to fall off the
platform (Fig. 10)
Fig.10
Never enter the vehicle or start the
motor when the vehicle is on the lift
(Fig.11)
Fig.11
RISK OF SLIDING OUT
This risk can be overcome by avoiding
the spillage of oil or grease in the area
surrounding the lift (Fig. 16). Apart from
that, any oil spillage which may occur
should be thoroughly removed from the
spot.
Fig.12
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Never spray water or steam or solvents
or paint in the area immediately
surrounding the platform and the control
cabinet (Fig.13)
Fig.13
RISKS DUE TO INSUFFICIENT
LIGHTING The area surrounding the lift
must be properly lighted according to
the legal requirements applicable in the
place of installation.
RISKS OF USE/MAINTENANCE
Autec uses material of the highest
quality in its lift. These must be used
according to the standard specified, and
maintenance must be carried out
regularly.
6. CONTROLS (Fig. 14)
The control unit contains:
Fig.14
MAIN SWITCH (11)

APPENDIX OI01A
INSTRUCTION OF MAINTENANCE
HYDRAULIC 4-POST LIFT
To be executed activities/ preventive maintenance of a hydraulic 4-post lift. (Required time: 75 min.)
Once a year or as much times as needed regarding the intensity of use or because of climatologically circumstances, the following activities
of maintenance have to be carried out:
1. hoisting cables
2. cable pulley
3. air cylinders and pipes
4. electric wiring
5. hydraulic cylinder and pipes
6. floor securing
7. securities
1 The hoisting cables have to be checked on damage or broken windings, then sweep clean the cables with a not fluffing cloth and
lubricate again with special oil.
At the same time, it has to be checked if the lift is still hanging level in its cables, if not is has to be adjusted.
2 The cable pulleys, both in the cross beam and under the platform, have to be disassembled, cleaned, checked and greased.
The following procedure has to be carried out:
Hang the lift in the interlocking on such a height that working on the cable pulleys in the crossbeam is possible.
Then open the emergency pocket valve and pull at the cables to switch off the voltage, check if the lift is hanging solidly in its interlocking.
Now it is possible to remove the pins of the cable pulleys in the cross beam, check these pins on excessive wastage.
Check as well the bearings in the cable pulleys on excessive wastage and clean both the pin and the bearings and grease them again and
put them back together.
After assembling back the cable pulleys check if the cables are lying right on the roller and if the lever of the chain fracture security is guided
behind the cables in the right way.
To pull the cables taut again, you have to open the control unit and push hand-operated the up-relay.
To check the cable pulleys under the platform you have to repeat this procedure with the difference that the pulleys under the platform in
contrary to the pulleys in the cross beam can fall out of the platform.
To prevent this you can put a pen or a thick screwdriver in the pinhole of the pulleys after pulling out the pin.
After assembling the pulleys it is very important to check if all the cables are lying on the right pulley again.
3 Check all the air pipes on leakage and if there has not been installed an oil sprayer you have to detach the air pipes from the
cylinders and then push the down button; any possible present water in the pipe can go away.
Then spout a little bit of thin oil in the pipe and install the pipes again, then check if the interlockings are well functioning.
4 Check all electric wiring on damages, if there are damages replace the concerned wiring.
During activities to the electric wiring always put the main switch on zero and block in this position.
5 Check hydraulic pipes, hoses and packings.
6 Check securing bolts with which the lift is attached on the floor and check the posts on standing level.
7 Check the obstruction guards by means of a chock of wood which has to be placed turn and turnabout under one of the hooks of
the cross beam, after which you let down the lift on the chock of wood, the lift has to stop descending.
