2Description
2.1 Service Life
The lift has been designed and tested for 22,000 load cycles according to
DIN EN 1493. After reaching this number of cycles, or after a maximum of 10
years, the lift must be replaced by a new product or be given a general overhaul.
A general overhaul must be carried out by the manufacturer or persons
authorised by them. Load-bearing structures must be inspected and, if
necessary, other parts must be replaced according to the manufacturer's
specifications.
2.2 General Machine Description
2.2.1 Design and Basic Functions
The MA STAR 5.5 two post lift consists, among other components, of two
edged, welded column profiles with base plate. The base plates ensure the
columns are securely anchored to the ground. The column profile bears the
weight of the lifted vehicle, accommodating the lifting carriage on the inner
panel and the control unit on the outer panel. The cable routing on the back is
covered by plastic panels and is only interrupted by the control unit.
Each lifting carriage is guided by eight sliding blocks per horizontal surface. The
lifting carriage contains the spindle-nut package with nut breakage detection.
Two support arms are attached to each lifting carriage, which in turn each
accommodate a height-adjustable support disc. In a lowered position, the
support arms are able to pivot freely. In a raised position, toothed segments
automatically prevent the supports arms from moving.
The lift drive consists of an electric motor with an electric release brake, which
moves a Tr 40x6 spindle via a belt drive. A lifting or lowering movement is
thereby triggered via the anti-rotation secured nut in the lifting carriage
depending on the direction of rotation.
The intuitive control unit is located on the back of one, or both, column(s)
depending on the design. Power is supplied via a connector plug at the upper
end of the main column. The unit enables all functions for the safe operation of
the lift and displays all operating states and errors that occur.
Depending on the situation, a signal sound indicates errors, incorrect operation
or the reaching of the CE-defined stop height during the lowering process.
Proximity switches detect end positions, asynchronism and nut breakage.
The relevant direction button light turns off to indicate when an end position has
been reached.

8BA364601-en
2.2.2 Intended Use
•This lift is exclusively intended for the safe lifting and lowering of passenger
cars and commercial vehicles up to a total weight of 5.5 t within the scope of
maintenance and repair work.
•In compliance with the load distribution regulations of DIN EN 1493, the per-
mitted load capacity on the identification plate must not be exceeded. Only
vehicles which are suitable for the lifting equipment due to their shape and
the positioning of their lifting points may be lifted.
•The lifting of other vehicles and loads is not permitted.
•Carrying of passengers is not permitted.
•The lift may not be modified without express written permission from the
manufacturer. Non-compliance invalidates the declaration of conformity.
•The lift must not be operated in potentially explosive and flammable opera-
tion rooms or in damp rooms (e.g. washing facilities).
•The lift must only be operated in the temperature range of 5 °C to 40 °C at a
maximum humidity of 50 % (at 40 °C).
•The lift must be protected from direct weather conditions at all times.
•The lift must only be operated on level and sufficiently load-bearing ground
(see the foundation specifications!).

2.4 Control Description
The lift is operated at the control unit with two push buttons. These have
arrows, which show the direction of movement. Their blue light, which activates
according to operating status and possible directions of movement, enables
intuitive operation of the lift.
Above the two control buttons is a fault indicator, which is backlit in either a
flashing or continuous red in the case of a malfunction.
The lift can be equipped with a second control unit on the opposite column. The
arrangement and function of the operating buttons and fault indicator remain
the same, there is also an additional emergency stop button.
The lift can additionally be fitted with a height limit light barrier and/or an
additional signal sound indicator.
2.4.1 Control Buttons
Up arrow: Move up / Raise
Down arrow: Move down / Lower
These functions are only active when the button is backlit in blue.
2.4.2 Fault Indicator
The fault indicator is located directly above the control buttons and
is backlit in either a flashing or continuous red in the case of a
malfunction.
