1USE AND STORAGE OF THE INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
Note: Within this document, the term LP is used to refer to the KOALA car lifting platform.
1.1 Purposes and intended users of the Installation, Use and Maintenance manual
The Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual provides the necessary indications for the correct use of the
KOALA LP and describes its physical and functional characteristics.
The manual must remain with the LP for its entire life cycle. For this reason, in the event of resale to any
third party, the manual must accompany the machine in order to ensure the safety of the operator and the
user.
The manual allows for the performance of the following operations:
INSTALLATION
USE
MAINTENANCE
DISPOSAL
It is intended for use by both the user, as well as by the operators in charge of the operations above.
Where required, the necessary qualifications are provided in section 1.2.
The company GLOBALJIG INTERNATIONAL shall bear no responsibility for any personal injury or
property damage resulting from the non-observance of the requirements contained within this manual.
The company GLOBALJIG INTERNATIONAL shall also bear no responsibility for any risks which may
arise in relation to any of the following situations:
improper use of the LP;
use which does not comply with the specific national standard;
installation which does not comply with the indications contained within this document;
lack of required maintenance;
unauthorised modifications or interventions;
use of non-original or non-specific spare parts;
non-observance of the instructions contained within this document.
The manual can no longer constitute a reference in the event that the user should intend to perform any
modifications which will alter the configuration of the LP. In such cases, the manufacturer shall only bear
responsibility in relation to any eventual manufacturing defects.
1.2 Definitions and terminology
User
Operator
LP lifting platform
The term “User” refers to any individual whose responsibilities involve the continuous use of the LP.
The term “Operators” refers to the individuals in charge of installing, operating, adjusting, servicing,
cleaning and repairing the LP.

The reader of this document must interpret the term “Manual”, in relation to the KOALA LP, as a reference
to this Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual.
The operations described in section 1.1 must be performed by personnel who are qualified for the specific
tasks. The qualification level refers to the activities for which the operator is authorised according to the
manufacturer’s indications.
Qualification 1
The personnel classified under this qualification level have not received specific training, but are authorised
to perform simple operations inherent to the use of the LP. This qualification authorises the operator to
perform installation, adjustment, routine maintenance and special maintenance interventions.
Qualification 2
Personnel with specific training for the performance of electrical interventions. This qualification authorises
the operator to perform installation, adjustment, routine maintenance and special maintenance
interventions. The training activities inherent to the operations listed above are carried out through training
courses with GLOBALJIG Technicians, as well as through the in-depth study of this manual.
Qualification 3
Personnel with specific training regarding electronically assisted Automatic Machinery, in charge of
performing electrical interventions. This qualification authorises the operator to perform installation,
adjustment, routine maintenance and special maintenance interventions. The training activities inherent to
the operations listed above are carried out through training courses with GLOBALJIG Technicians, as well
as through the in-depth study of this manual. To this end, the operator must be trained, through the careful
study of this Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual, for the use of the controls found on the KOALA’s
control unit. The manual contains notes which serve to draw the user’s/operator’s attention to a specific
procedure or particular operation.
Three types of notes can be found:
NOTE: these are warnings which serve to guide and optimise the operator’s actions, or else to
better highlight certain characteristics of the KOALA.
ATTENTION: these are extremely important warnings which specify actions to be performed/avoided, or
else certain precautions to be taken, prior to using the KOALA, in order to avoid damaging
the LP itself.
DANGER: these are extremely important warnings which specify actions to be performed/avoided, or
else certain precautions to be taken, prior to using the KOALA, in order to avoid personal
injury.
1.3 Structure of the manual
This manual has been drawn up based on the indications deriving from the Machinery Directive (89/392)
and the standards referred to therein. The manual is structured with:
-A data plate identification page (correlated to the specific lifting platform).
-An Index.
-Annexed documentation.

1.4 Storing the manual
The KOALA LP’s Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual must be available to the user at all times. For
this reason, it must be stored in an appropriate location in the vicinity of the machine, in order to allow for
the correct performance of the activities in relation to the LP.
The Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual must be stored in a location which is protected against
heat, humidity and/or any other potentially harmful environmental conditions. The integrity of the
Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual is necessary in order to guarantee accurate knowledge of the
LP’s characteristics. Its contents must therefore be verified based on that which is indicated in the index.
In the event that the manual should be lost or irreparably damaged, a duplicate copy may be requested
from the company GLOBALJIG INTERNATIONAL.
1.5 Updating
In the event that an updated version of the Installation, Use and Maintenance Manual should be issued,
the manufacturer will not be obliged to update this document, save for the case that any indications have
been added which may limit the dangers associated with the use of the LP itself.

2.6 “KOALA” lift orientation
The front of the lift (as indicated in the diagram) is the side containing the “lifting jacks” and the outlet for
the connections to the control unit.
Always position the heaviest portion of the load toward the front of the lift, as this will ensure the
maximum stability of the platform.
ATTENTION:
The LP is designed for the heaviest part of the load to be sustained at the front.

2.7 Operating modes
The KOALA LP is designed for manual operation. It therefore requires the operator to perform simple
lifting, lowering and stopping operations using the appropriate button panel.
Operating conditions which could compromise the safety of the LP’s operators are not foreseen nor
expected.
2.8 Safety devices
The KOALA LP is designed and manufactured in compliance with the current applicable European
Directives and in accordance with the legal regulations deriving from them. The personnel assigned to
operating the machine are advised to work in compliance with the prescribed methods and with particular
care with regards to their individual responsibilities.
In the event that any situations should arise which are not foreseen by this manual, it is recommended to
contact GLOBALJIG’s Technical Assistance Service before proceeding. Should this recommendation not
be observed, GLOBALJIG will decline any responsibility for any unforeseeable improper use of the
machine. The topics regarding the safety devices and relative regulations are discussed in detail in chapter
6.
! DANGER ! ! !
GLOBALJIG recommends that the individual activities be performed by one
operator alone, in order to avoid simultaneously exposing more than one operator to the relative risks.
2.9 Operating indications and instructions
The electro-hydraulic control unit is furnished with a data plate (illustrated in fig. 2.3) which summarises the
most important operating instructions regarding the conduct to be observed by the operator when using the
LP itself.
