3. SAFETY DEVICES
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 exersises.
=To be used as a device for applying force.
=To be used as a goods lift.
=To be used as a jack or for lifting vehicles for changing wheels.
The manufacturer hereby refuses any claims for damages arising in connection with injury to
persons or damage to vehicle or other property caused due to incorrect and/or unauthorised use of the lift.
During lifting- and lowering movements, the operator must be within the zone of operation (1), as shown in
fig. 1. The presence of any person in the safety zone (2) is strictly forbidden. The presence of persons under
the vehicle is only permitted if the vehicle is parked and locked in the lifted position.
GUSE THE LIFT ONLY IF ALL THE SAFETY ARRANGEMENTS ARE WORKING PROPERLY. IF
THESE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED, SERIOUS INJURY COULD BE CAUSED TO PERSONS AS
WELL AS IRREPARAIBLE DAMAGE TO THE LIFT AND THE VEHICLE ON THE LIFT.
3.1 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 operators 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.

3.2 "Dead man" system
The lift is equipped with a system which only operates in the presence of the operator: push-button controlled
rise or descent movements are immediately halted when these buttons are released.
3.3 Safety device in the presence of obstacles
If, during lift descent, an obstacle which resistance is greater than the weight of the moving element, a special
limit switch is activated, causing the lift to halt in any working condition. When the lift is at a halt, the only pos-
sible command is the rise command which enables the obstacle to be removed, followed by the descent com-
mando.
3.4 Mechanical block
This is activated if the rise/descent limit switches do not work.
It is activated during rise (A) and descent (B) after 5 mm runover of the operation point of the limit switch.
Adjust if necessary using the relative adjustment devices.

3.2 Risk of damage due to electricity
Special safety arrangements have been made on the lift in places where the risks are very high.
3.3 Risk 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.
3.4 Hazards associated with lifting of a vehicle
The following provisions have been made to avoid damage from excessive weight:
1. Cable break 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 descenting of the tracks.
4. Accoustic signal: the lifting bridge will during its descent produce an accoustic 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 over
heating.
3.5 Risk for 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.
3.5.1 Risk for the operator.
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 low-
ered, 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. 3)

3.5.2 Risk for personnel
When the lift with the vehicle is
moving downwards, it is not per-
mitted for any of the personnel to
enter the room or walk under the
(downwards) moving parts of the
lift.(fig. 4)
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. 4
3.5.3 Risk for impact
Caused by parts of the lift or the
vehicle that are positioned at head
height. When, due to operational
reasons, the lift is immobilised at
relatively low elevations ( less than
1.75 m from the ground) personnel
must be careful to avoid impact
with parts of the machine not
marked with special hazard
colouring. (fig. 5) fig. 5
Never enter the vehicle or start the
motor when the vehicle is on the lift
(fig.6)
fig. 6
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 opera-
tions and may cause the vehicle
to fall off the platform (fig. 7)

3.5.4 Risk for sliding out.
This risk can be overcome by
avoiding the spillage of oil or
grease in the area surroun-
ding the lift (fig. 8).
Apart from that, any oil
spillage which may occur
should be thoroughly removed
from the spot immediately.
Fig. 8
3.5.5 Risk for electrocution.
Never spray water steam, sol-
vents or paint in the area imme-
diately surrounding the platform
and the control cabinet (fig.9)
fig.9
3.5.6 Risk due to insufficient lighting
The area surrounding the lift must be properly lighted according to the legal requirements applicable in the place
of installation.
3.5.7 Risk 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.
3.6 Suitability for use.
This product has been manufactured in compliance with the European Directive 89/392. On the
basis of article 4.1.2.3 of this Directive, the coefficients used tor the tests are as follows:
1.10 for the dynamic test.
1.25 for the statie test.
These tests must be performed by specialist staff.
Any unauthorized modifications or tampering with the equipment release the manufac-
turer of responsibility for the damages caused by or related to the above men-
tioned acts.
The removal of or tempering with safety devices constitutes an infringement of
European Safety Regulations.
