PACKAGING AND UNLOADING
The ERGO LIFT user and maintenance manual is included in the packaging of the hydraulic unit. On
delivery, check for external transport damage. In case of visible damage, leave the goods and packaging
as they are. Do not use the goods and contact your dealer directly. Failing this, a reservation must be made
to the carrier. Under no circumstances can GYS be held responsible.
Unloading can be done with a forklift or hand pallet truck as soon as the pallet is placed on the floor. Wear
gloves and safety shoes. Take into account the centre of gravity noted on the packaging when picking up
and moving the pallet.
1- Determine an area with sufficient space and good lighting.
2- Unpack and place the hydraulic power unit on the ground, aligning the beam so that it is not folded on itself
and/or twisted.
Retrieve the accessories (rubber pads, drawbar accessories, wheels and pins).
3- Remove the cardboard cover on the lift and carry out a visual inspection to check that nothing is damaged
and that there are no visible oil leaks at the connections.

motor should stop automatically and it should no longer be possible to lift. If this is not the case, please refer
to ANOMALIES, CAUSES, REMEDIES on page 14.
6- Retrieve and assemble the manoeuvring drawbar and attach it to the hydraulic unit to be able to move it
more easily.
7- Remove the 4 screws from the lift that fixes it to the pallet.
8- With the help of a strap and a firmly attached hoist (weight to be lifted 130kg max.) lift the table by the
lightest side of the lift (front of the lift) then remove the pallet under the table. Be careful not to injure yourself
and don't hesitate to be in a group to carry out the manoeuvre in complete safety (3 people recommended).
Never get under the hoist or put yourself in a dangerous situation).
If you do not have a hoist, you can remove the lift from the pallet manually. Position the 4 arms of the table
to have as many holds as possible as shown in the picture below. Lift the lighter side first and gradually
remove the pallet from underneath.
Packages should not be placed in a bin but in a recycling bin .

Hydraulic fluid is dangerous if splashed in the eyes or if it comes into contact with blood. In
this case, contact your doctor immediately. Never reach over your hand to check for a hydraulic
leak: risk of cut and contamination in the bloodstream that could lead to death.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION
The operator must be equipped in accordance with the occupational risk prevention standards applicable in
his/her country and must adopt all necessary measures to maintain safety at his/her workstation. During
manoeuvres, the operator must ensure his own safety and that of the people and objects around him. The
operator must take into consideration all the recommendations quoted in this manual.
START UP
Make sure you have the necessary protection: safety shoes and gloves.
Step 1: Place the ERGO LIFT on the floor and position the hydraulic unit 3 metres from the lift, making sure
that the beam is not twisted and bent.
Step 2: Connect the hydraulic unit to an electrical outlet and set the button to "ON".
Step 3: Place the 4 runners on the load-bearing elements.
It is possible to adjust the runners in height (1) and all along the arm (2).
Each skate is equipped with a solidly attached mechanical stop - never use a skate
without a stop.
Step 4: It is possible to move the supporting elements (= arms) of the lift at an angle. To do this, lift the end
of the arm in order to release the movement, position it as desired and release it. After each repositioning,
check that the arm is securely in place and locked into a safety catch by making a left-to-right movement.
Never perform this operation with your foot. Always make this adjustment with your hand to carry out the
necessary checks of the correct positioning of each load-bearing element.

Step 5: Using the remote control:
Press the up button or "↑" to raise the lift. As long as the button is held down, the lift will rise until a double
beep sounds (end position reached by the sensor). Automatically when the button is released, the lift stops.
Press the down button or "↓" to lower the lift. A beep for 2 seconds preceded by the descent of the table will
be heard each time the button is pressed and an audible signal will be emitted throughout the descent to
warn people around the manoeuvre. Automatically when the button is released, the lift stops.
In case of an emergency, it is possible to stop the ascent and descent of the lift by pressing the red emergency
stop button. To disengage it, pull the button and at the same time make a quarter turn.
Step 6: Moving the lift
a- The lift must be raised about 15 centimetres from the ground.
b- Insert the 2 wheels and the safety pins.
c- Lower the lift to the floor.
d- Fold the 4 arms towards the inside of the lift.
e- Move the group close to the lift and place it on the lift as shown in the figure below.
f- Insert the operating tiller at the level of the slot on the lift.
g- Press and push lightly on the tiller to move the lift wherever you want on level ground with no slope

Once the area has been determined, place the lift and carry out the reverse manoeuvre without forgetting to
remove the 2 wheels and the pins and store them on the support at the level of the manoeuvring tiller.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To achieve optimum safety, it is recommended to define an area in which other objects
or walls will be at a certain distance (2m minimum). All ascent and descent manoeuvres
must be carried out with the best possible attention on the part of the operator. Within
the defined area, it is forbidden for people to park when the lift is in motion. In order to
guarantee the operator's safety, the control box must be located at a distance that allows
an escape route in case of emergency. It must be taken into account that the vehicle
will move 30cm towards the front of the lift when going up and down.
Make sure that the vehicle is as centred as possible on the longitudinal axis of the lift.

Then spread the arms completely apart and put the rubber pads on them. Position the skids below the grip
points provided by the car manufacturers.
Once the support arm has been correctly positioned, check that it is correctly in place and locked by simply
moving it from right to left.
Lift the vehicle a short distance (all 4 wheels should be about 10 to 15 cm off the ground) and check that the
skids are correctly positioned and that the vehicle is stable. Once this check has been carried out, lift the
vehicle to the desired height and store the remote control.
Maximum loading principle of the lift :
This self-stable lift has been dimensioned to accept a maximum working load (M.W.L.) of 2000kg as shown
in the figures below and regardless of the position of the arms (open angle or fully closed). This means that
it is necessary to respect a loading of 60% of the mass on the front of the lift and 40% on the back of the lift
and vice versa. It is designed to accept a reversible load.
By respecting the alignment of the lift with the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and by positioning the rubber
pads below the gripping points identified by the car manufacturers, you will respect this principle and be able
to lift the load safely. This information is to be found on the lift so that the user does not exceed the maximum
load depending on the situation (position of the engine in the vehicle according to the direction of the lift).
