5.1 Safe use
In order to utilise the properties of the Diagonal lift 504 and to prevent and avoid damages it is important that you carefully
read the instructions and operates it in the right way.
The lift is a diagonal lift that lowers the cabinet along an arc-shaped path down to the worktop level below it.
The travel can be stopped at any height.
It is provided with safety arrangements in order to prevent and avoid damages and accidents.
It is however still very important that the operator is well instructed in how to install and operate the Diagonal lift. In the fol-
lowing the Diagonal Lift means the lifting machine and the fitted wall cabinet.
• Only use the Diagonal lift for its intended purpose
• The operation and use must be made in such way that there is no risk for damages on persons and property.
•
The Diagonal lift may only be operated by persons who have read and understood these instructions, and are authorized to use it.
• Be aware of that you as an operator are responsible for that nobody is damaged.
• The lift and the work area must be in proper condition. The Diagonal lift must not be used if any fault has appeared which
influences the functions or the operation safety. It shall also not be used if it has been repaired, altered or adjusted without
permission of a responsible person.
• Make sure that the Diagonal lift is installed on a firm, flat and fully vertical wall, with sufficient attachment devices for the
total weight. Only competent persons shall make the installation.
• The Control devices shall be placed so that the operator has got full view over Diagonal lift and its work area when opera-
tions are made.
• Do not touch any part of the lift when operating it. Only press the button for desired motion direction.
• Do not put hands, arms, or any other part of the body or any object into the Diagonal lift unit when it is brought from the park-
ing position. The parking position means when the Diagonal lift is fully raised and brought to the wall, i.e. at the top level.
• Do not operate with open cabinet doors.
• Keep in mind that when the Diagonal lift has left the parking position the risk increases to get damaged by the cabinet and
the doors.
• Do not lower the Diagonal lift the space below it is free from persons or obstacles. In particular if the Diagonal lift unit is
installed above a workbench with adjustable height there is an imminent risk that you do not notice objects or equipment
that might be trapped.
• Observe the risk for collision between the Diagonal lift unit and the Workbench. Turn the water tap and its lever towards the
wall before operating the Diagonal lift, otherwise there is a risk that the cabinet will jam the spout of the water tap and the
control lever
• Notice the jamming risk between the Diagonal lift and adjacent cabinets and behind the Diagonal lift
• Only stable and securely loaded items may be handled. Mind the tilting risk for objects in the cabinet, which are unstable,
e.g. carelessly piled.
• Never let the Diagonal lift come in contact with adjacent objects.
• Safety devices must not be taken out of service or removed.
• Alterations of the Diagonal lift that influence the operational safety or the functions are not allowed.
• Decals and markings must not be removed or made illegible.
• Do not overload the Diagonal lift.
• Always distribute the load within the cabinet, to avoid cantilevered loading. See section 5.3. Consider the risk that the load
can roll, slide or fall over.
• If the cabinet have no doors the risk is even bigger that objects may fall out of the cabinet.
• Use safe and sufficient lifting methods when handling load to and from the Diagonal lift. In particular beware when handling
heavy items, and goods with hazardous content or with sharp corners and edges.
• The Diagonal lift unit shall regularly, once a year, be inspected in order to prevent accidents.
• The lift may not be operated when there are saucepans/frying pans in use on the cooker, nearby or under the Diagonal lift.
There is a risk that these will fall over if they are hit by the Diagonal lift.
• Applicable Building and Safe use Regulations must be complied with.
• It is forbidden to stay in wall the cabinet, to hang in the cabinet shelves or to use the lift for lifting of persons.
• Do not use the Diagonal lift as a lifting jack, e.g. for lifting things from the floor.
• The machine must not come in direct contact with food
• Do not use the Diagonal lift in a potentially explosive environment.
• When the operation is in a public location, particularly when children can enter the work area, the operator shall make sat-
isfactory arrangements to prevent persons from entering the hazardous area when the lift is being operated, or it has been
lowered from the parking position, e.g. by means of blocking the work area or by means of adding protection devices.
• During inspections, service and repair work there shall be no load in the cabinet. It can be necessary to demount the shelves
from the lift to carry out service or repair.
• Competent persons only must carry out installation, service and repair works.
• Only Granberg original spare parts shall be used when replacing any parts. Our warranty commitment can otherwise be
invalidated.
