1.3 IDENTIFICATION OF OPERATORS
The lift user is the physical or legal person who purchases it and has it operated by
an operator.
The operator, also defined as the accompanying person, is the person who uses
the device.
Operators working with devices designed to transport persons with motor deficiencies or disabilities must
be competent to act in all situations; they must always be mentally aware; they must comply with the
physical and mental requirements for ensuring sufficient reactivity in the event of an emergency or a
hazard. They shall therefore not only acknowledge all the details given in this manual but shall
obligatorily possess the following characteristics.
PHYSICAL: good eyesight, hearing, coordination, ability to safely perform all the functions required to
use the lift, no disorders or debilitating or disabling infirmities caused by the intake of substances altering
the person's emotional state (e.g. drugs and/or alcohol).
MENTAL: ability to understand and apply the established rules and safety precautions; they shall be
attentive, use common sense to ensure their own safety and that of others; they shall be willing to
correctly and responsibly perform the tasks of assistant and operator during the transport, loading and
unloading of disabled and other passengers.
EMOTIONAL: the operator must be calm and able to cope with stress and use common sense over his
own physical and mental conditions; he must be able to manage normal and abnormal situations,
understanding his own limits and, at the same time, how to deal with an emergency.
TRAINING: this manual, and diagrams and graphs attached, the hazard warning plates and stickers
applied to the electro-hydraulic lift must be read, studied and fully understood; the operator must be
familiar with the use of the controls and the lift movements, having performed all tests (without loads)
required to learn all the operating phases.
TASKS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: in this context we refer only to the operator's tasks concerning the
use of the lift, which include switching on the power circuit, moving the various parts, assembly and
removal of any optional parts, and maintenance. The operator must therefore be fully familiar with the
safety regulations and relative devices, the use of the controls and the manual emergency devices.
The operator is personally responsible for the use of the lift and its correct operation, maintenance, the
handled load and all actions which are performed within the above-listed tasks.
If any situations occur which could compromise the physical and mental state of the transported person,
following the non -compliance or poor knowledge of the operator, he shall personally be civilly and
criminally liable towards the injured party.
This applies also to any tampering or modifications by the operator of parts or components of the lift
which no longer guarantee its safety and reliability for the transported persons.
Autolift Srl declines all liability in the event of such situations.

7.1 NORMAL USE
The AUTOLIFT SKY electro-hydraulic lift control is a wired portable remote control known as push-
button panel, equipped with two round protruding buttons indicating the two operating states.
The fundamental purpose of the push-button panel is to control the four distinct lift operations (open -
down - up - close) in just two control buttons.
This is done by a special electrical system which uses a timer-operated consent technology. Simply and
safely it prevents you from having to change button for every different lift movement and from entering
the wrong command.
Hold down the lower button (down arrow)
and the lift opens from the vertical
stowage position to rest in a horizontal
position parallel to the floor of the vehicle
it is installed on.
After opening, the lift stops automatically.
To lower the lift to the ground, press the
down arrow button again: the platform
descends slowly to the ground (the anti-
roll device lowers automatically when the
platform touches the ground).
To raise the lift, press and hold down the
button with the up arrow, in the upper part
of the push-button panel.
The anti-roll device rises automatically
when the platform lifts off the ground.
