1Introduction & Basic Safety Instructions
Blitz lifts are the result of long years of experience. The high quality standards and the superior
concept guarantee you reliability, long fatigue life, and efficiency. In order to avoid unnecessary
damage and hazards, you should read this instruction manual carefully and should always follow the
instructions. This instruction manual applies to rail-guided pit lifts as well as for freely movable lifts.
1.1 Intended Use
The lift is intended exclusively for partial lifting of vehicles and for the transport of vehicle parts
(engine, transmission). Any use beyond this shall be considered as not intended.
Lifting of persons is prohibited.
Always secure lifted vehicles with supporting bridges/A-frames.
The normal fatigue life is 10 years.
1.2 Basic Instructions
The lift may only be operated by workshop staff with corresponding training.
Electric, hydraulic, and pneumatic work may only be performed by specialists.
Please follow the instruction manual.
Always keep the instruction manual available at the place of use.
Refer to all safety and hazard notes on the lift, and keep them legible.
The workshop operator must insure that all safety regulations are observed by the workshop
staff.
Technical modifications of the lift are not permitted.
The instruction manual is a part of the product and must be passed on to subsequent users.
Please observe the maintenance intervals.
1.3 Safety-relevant components
Hydraulic pressure relief valve
Hydraulic counterbalance valve
Tilt protections [1] on the lift cylinder

3Transport, Installation, and Assembly
DANGER
Danger to life, risk of injury from improper transport
Always transport the lift with suitable hoists and transport equipment (for example fork lifts or
cranes).
Never loiter under raised loads.
Safety Notes
Hoist the lift only at pick-up points.
Transport the lift cylinder horizontally and with the controls at the top.
Secure moving and loose parts.

The above-named lifts are supplied
ready for operation (including oil)
and can be used immediately.
3.2 Install and Assemble the Lift
WARNING
Risk of injury and material damage from a toppling lift
Install the lift only on level and solid ground with sufficient load carrying capacity.
Use lifts with under floor carriage only on parallel rails with sufficient load capacity.
Safety Notes
Use hoists only with rollers fitting the rails.
Use lifts with an inground carriage only in the workshop pit for which they have been
manufactured.
Always adjust the guide rollers E so that the carriage cannot leave the rails.
There are three carriage types:
Carriage R (rail carriage)
Carriage M (free floor-running carriage)
Carriage X (free floor-running carriage), does not have to be disassembled
