7. Safety regulations
Observe applicable, statutory and valid accident prevention regulations when handling lifts.
Observance of the following regulations is indicated in particular:
-The total weight of the supported vehicle should not exceed 4000 kg, whereby the maximum load distribu
tionis 3:1 in the drive direction or contrary to the drive direction.
-Observe the operating instructions when operating the lift.
-The lift must be lowered completely prior to driving on the vehicle, and driving on should only be realised in
the intended direction.
-In the case of vehicles with low ground clearance or special fittings, check whether damage could occur
prior to driving onto the lift and raising the vehicle.
-Only persons of 18 years of age or older who have been instructed in operation of the lift (observe the han
dover protocol) and have verified their employment for this purpose with regard to the employer are per
mitted to operate the lift independently. They must be expressly commissioned by the employer with ope
ration of the lift (excerpt BGR 500 (German trade association rules), see handover protocol).
-Any displacement of the centre of gravity must be taken into consideration when removing heavy parts.
The vehicle must be appropriately secured against falling through suitable means (e.g. lashing straps, beams, etc.).
-No persons should be in the working area during the raising or lowering procedure.
-The conveyance of persons with the lift is prohibited.
-Climbing up on the lift is prohibited.
-The lift must be inspected by an expert following modification of the construction and repairs to supporting parts.
-Interventions for the purpose of repairing and maintaining the lift may only be undertaken by skilled personnel
if the main switch is deactivated.
-The complete raising and lowering procedure should be observed at all times.
-Personnel should move immediately to the safety zone outside the lift in the event of the vehicle moving
unintentionally on the platform.
-The vehicle should not be moved when the platform is raised and should be appropriately secured by actu
ating the parking brake. Always use the safety catch function of the lift.
-Ensure when lowering the platform that feet are kept out of the working area where they could be entrapped.
-No objects or persons should be under the vehicle or under the lift when lowering the lift.
-When using an optional axle jack, ensure that feet are kept clear of the scissor mechanism.
-Installation of the standard lift is prohibited in potentially explosive premises and damp rooms (e.g.
washing bays).

8. Operating instructions
⚠Always observe the safety regulations during handling of the lift. Read the safety regulations
in Chapter 7 carefully prior to initial operation!

17
8.1. Raising the vehicle
-Drive the vehicle aligned centrally in a transverse direction into the lift.
-Secure the vehicle against rolling. Pull the parking brake and engage a gear.
-Pivot in the support arms and apply the adjustable pick-up plates at the points provided by the vehicle manu-
facturer. Rotate the pick-up plates uniformly upwards if necessary.
⚠ Caution: The load must be supported centrally on the pick-up plate!
-Check that no objects or persons are in the hazardous zone of the lift.
-Activate the main switch.
-Lift the vehicle free of ground contact. Press the “Up” button on the control element.
-Interrupt the lifting procedure when the wheels are free of ground contact and check the pick-up plates again
to ensure they are providing safe support.
-The support arm locking systems must be engaged. If not, the lift should be set down and the vehicle repositi-
oned again.
-Raise the vehicle to the desired working height. Press the “Lock” button to secure the position with the safety
catch.
-The position of the support arms under the support points should be checked again each time the vehicle is
set down and adjusted if necessary.
-The complete lifting procedure should be observed at all times to ensure the vehicle roof does not touch the
cross support.
-Check that no objects or persons are in the hazardous zone of the lift.
⚠Caution: Ensure to pay attention to the secure seat of the vehicle on the tragtellern, otherwise
there is a risk of falling!
Caution: Care must be taken to ensure that the support arm locks are engaged after
picking up the vehicle!
8.2. Lowering the vehicle
-Check that no objects or persons are in the hazardous zone of the lift.
-Lower the vehicle to the desired working height or to the lowermost position by pressing the “Down” button.
The lift initially moves up slightly to relieve the catch. The lowering procedure then starts automatically.
-The lowering procedure should be observed at all times.
-Pivot the support arms outwards if the lift has reached the identifiable lowermost position. The vehicle can then
be driven out of the lift.

18
9. Behaviour in case of malfunction
Impaired operational readiness of the lift may be the result of a simple fault. Inspect the plant for specified
causes of faults. The Matthies workshop service should be informed if the fault cannot be remedied through
checking of the specified causes.
⚠ Independent repair work on safety equipment of the lift and inspections
of the electrical system should only be realised by skilled personnel.
