4. Safety regulations
When using automotive lifts the German safety regulation BGG945: Examine of automotive-lifts;
BGR500 Using automotive-lifts; (VBG14) must be observe adhered to.
Especially the following regulations are very important:
• Observe the detailed operating instruction.
• The laden weight of the lifted vehicle must not exceed 3500 kg for the automotive lift. The
maximum load distribution is 2:1 in or against the drive-on direction.
• Observe the centre of gravity of the vehicle.
• The automotive lift must be in its lowest position, before the vehicle can be driving into
the lift. Only then the vehicle can be lifted.
• Position the rubber pads at the pick-up points under the vehicle as described of the
vehicle manufacturer.
• While working with the lift the operating instructions must be followed.
• Only trained personnel over the age of 18 years old are to operate this lift.
• No one is to stand within the working area (danger area) during lifting and lowering.
• No one is to be raised or lowed either directly or on the vehicle by the automotive lift.
• No one is to climb onto the automotive lift or onto an already raised vehicle.
• The automotive column lift must be checked by an expert after changes in the
construction have been made.
• The main switch must be switched off and locked before work on the vehicle can
commence. This is a safety precaution to ensure that the lift does not move during work.
• The main switch must be switched off and locked before any maintenance or repair work
on the automotive lift itself can be carried out.
• During lifting or lowering the operator must observe the vehicle to ensure that the vehicle
and the lift are functioning correctly.
• Installation of the standard vehicle lift in hazardous or dangerous locations such as
washing bays is dangerous and is not allowed.
• Check the centre of gravity of the vehicle if heavy parts (egg the motor) are removed.
• If heavy parts must be removed (motor) the centre of gravity will change. Secure the
vehicle before removing parts to avoid the possibility of the vehicle becoming insecure.
• At vehicles with low sub-ground clearance or with optional equipment (sport equipment)
or sport-vehicles, it is to be tested previously whether damages can appear.
5. Operating instructions
The safety regulations must be observed during working with the automotive lift.
Read the safety regulations in chapter 4 carefully before working with the lift!
5.1 Lifting the vehicle with the automotive lift
• Drive vehicle in the lift, longitudinal axes on line of the lift.
• Block the vehicle against rolling, put into gear.
• Position the adjustable rubber pads under the vehicle which are described by the vehicle
manufacturer.
Position the vehicle on the rubber pads, otherwise there’s a danger that the vehicle
might fall down.
• Check the dangerous places of the lift and be sure that there are no objects or people in
the immediate area of the lift or on the lift.
• Switch on the control system; main switch on position ”1” .

• Press the button „ Lifting“.
• Check the safety device of the lifting arms. They must lock if the arms leave the floor.
• If the wheels are free, stop the lifting procedure and check again the safety position of the
vehicle.
• Lift the vehicle on the working height. Observe the complete process.

5.2 Lowering the vehicle
• Check the dangerous places of the lift and be sure that there are no objects or people in
the immediate area of the lift or on the lift.
• Press the button „lowering“.
• Observe the complete process.
• If the lift is in the lowest position, turn the carrying arms to the outside.
• Drive the vehicle out of the lift.
6.Troubleshooting
If the lift does not work properly, the reason for this might be quite simple. Please check
the lift for the potential reasons mentioned on the following pages. If the cause of
trouble cannot be found, please call the technical service.
Problem: Motor does not start!
Potential causes:
No power supply
Main switch is not engaged
The main switch is defective
Fuse defective
The feed line is cut
Thermal switch in the motor is active
Motor is defective
solution:
Check the power supply
Check the main switch
Check the main switch
Check Fuse
Check the complete cable
Let motor cool down
Call technical service

Problem: Motor starts, lift does not lift!
Potential causes:
The vehicle is too heavy
Level of the oil is too low
The emergency lowering screws are not closed
Hydraulic valve is defective
Gear pump is defective
solution:
unload the vehicle
check the oil level, fill with
hydraulic oil as required
Check the emergency lowering
screw
Call technical service
Call technical service
Problem: the lift does not lower!
Potential causes:
An obstacle is restricting the lift from being lowered
Hydraulic valve is defective
Fuse is defective
Button “lowering” is defective
solution:
(see chapter 6.1)
Call technical service
Check the fuse
Call technical service
6.1 Driving on an obstacle
• If the lift is running onto an obstacle during the lowering, the lift stops through the
mechanical resisted. In this case, press the lever „lifting“ until the obstacle can be
removed.
6.2 Emergency lowering
In this case of power failure or defective valve, the hydraulic valve of the lift will not open any more.
Therefore the lift can not be lowered. In this case there is the possibility to open the hydraulic valve
manually and to lower the lift to it is lowest position, so the vehicle can be driven off.
A emergency lowering is an intervention into the control of the lift and can be done only
by experienced expert.
The emergency lowering must be carried in this order. Otherwise a malfunction can
lead it to damages or lead to danger for body and lives.
Every kind of external leakage has to be removed. This is necessary in particular before
an emergency lowering.
The emergency lowering may only be done by persons which are trained in using the
lift.
Reasons, that can make an emergency lowering necessary, are a defect of the electric system
or disturbances of the valves, etc.
In case of power-failure or defective Valves there is the possibility through suitable tools to
lower the lift in the lowest position, so that the vehicle can be driven off.
