6.1 Lowering onto an obstacle
• In case the lift is lowering onto an obstacle, only the ropes becomes flabby (slack) which
are in the near area of the obstacle. Under the rail at the hydraulic cylinder is a safety
device, which switches the lifting platform off as soon as a rope becomes flabby or tears.
During this procedure by spring action a sliding element on the piston rod is pushed onto
alimitswitch.
The lift switched off and the lowering procedure stops.
• In case the ropes are slack, press only the button “lifting” (A) and the button (C)
simultaneously and raise the lift until the obstacle can be removed.
6.2 Emergency lowering
A emergency lowering is an intervention into the controls of the lift and can be done
only by experienced expert.
The emergency lowering must be carried in this order. Otherwise a malfunction may
lead to damage to equipment, injury or even death.
Every kind of external leakage must be removed. This is particularly necessary before
an emergency lowering.
The emergency lowering may only be done by persons who are trained in using the lift.
• It is possible to open the hydraulic valve manually to lower the lift into the lowest position.
• In case the lift is locked in the safety ratchets, every ratchet must pull back manually.
First, raise the crossbeam with a help of a jack until the tooth of the ratchet is movable.
Fasten the ratchet with suitable support (wire), so the ratchet tooth of the ratchet can not
engage in ratchet-strip any more.
Repeat this process at all four ratchets.
• Check all danger points of the lift and be sure that there are no objects or people in the
working area (danger area) around the lift or on the lift.
• Press the lever slowly downwards. The lowering movement can be adjusted with the
hand lever.
• Observe the complete lowering procedure. With danger let go off the hand lever.
• Lower the lift in the lowest position and remove the vehicle.
• Switch off the main switch and secure it against unauthorised operation until the defective
pieces or valves have been replaced.
Phone your service partner.
Do not work with the lift until the defective parts are changed.
After the emergency-lowering process, remove the wire at the ratchets; otherwise the
safety device is out of function.

7. Inspection and Maintenance
Before conducting maintenance work, preparations must be made to ensure that
during maintenance and repair work there is no risk to the safety of people working
on or around the lift and also that there is no risk of damage to equipment being used
on or around the lift.
To guarantee the utmost availability and to ensure that the lift remains functional, maintenance
work contracts are organised between our clients and their local retailers.
A service must be performed at regular intervals of 3 months through the operator in
accordance with following service manual. If the lift is in continuous operation or in a dirty
environment, the maintenance rate must be increased.
During daily operation the lift must be closely observed to ensure that it is functioning correctly.
In the case of malfunction or leakage the technical service must be informed.
7.1 Maintenance plan of the lift
• Before beginning any maintenance work isolate the power supply. Secure the main
switch (lock it). Secure the danger area around the automotive lift and secure the lift
against unintentional lowering.
• Clean and check the stripper of the cylinder.
• Clean the piston-rod using compressed air and examine for damages.
• Examine the energy chain. Clean it and examine the supply lines and the chain for
damages.
• Check the condition of ropes. If torn wires are discovered, the complete rope set must be
changed.
• Check all pulleys, bolts and bearings for wear.
• Check the condition of the electrical parts. (electrical button, main switch, lighting, cables,
plugs, electrical magnet.
• Check the condition of the plastic energy chain at the operating column.
• Clean and lubricate the moving parts and all lubricate nipples of the lift (hinge bolts,
sliding pieces, sliding surfaces) grease with a multipurpose liquid (e.g: Auto Top 2000
LTD. Agip).
• Clean and check the function of the ratchet, ratchet strip and the function and condition of
the magnetic. Grease the ratchet surface with a multipurpose lipid.
• Check all welded joints for cracks on the automotive-lift.
If any cracks are found on the lift cease use immediately. Switch-off and secure the main
switch (lock) and call the service partner.
• Examine the function and the condition of the ramps and the plastic roles.
• Examine the function and the condition roll over safety.

• Examine the function and the condition off the sliding plates, the turntables and the fixing
pin.
• Version with wheel alignment set: Check the condition and function of the turn table and
sliding plates. Loosen the spring under the platform before removing the plates. Clean all
the parts. Before installing do not lubricate with fat. Because dirt can accumulate below
the plates and the movements impair. Use an oil Spray to oil the surface.
• Check all surfaces and repair if necessary.
• Damage to external surfaces, must be immediately repaired.
If theses repairs are not made immediately, permanent damage to the powder-coated
surface may result.
Repair and clean damaged areas with an abrasive paper (grain 120). After this is
complete, use a suitable paint (observe the RAL Number).
• Check the zinc surface and repair it with a suitable tool. Use abrasive paper (grain 280).
White rust can result from moisture laying in certain areas for long periods of time. Poor
aerating can also result in rust formation.
Rust may result from mechanical damage, wear, aggressive sediments (de-icing salt,
liquids) or insufficient cleaning.
Repair and clean these areas with abrasive paper (grain 280).
After this is complete, use a suitable paint (observe the RAL Number).
• The hydraulic oil has to be changed at least once a year. To change the oil, lower the lift
into its lowest position. Empty the oil tank and fill in clean oil, approx. (see chapter 3.) is
needed.
Use an ATF-Suffix hydraulic-oil (OEST Company ) if the ambient temperature is under 5
degrees centigrade. After filling, the hydraulic oil must be between the upper and lower
markings of the oil level gauge or 2 cm under the filler neck.
Remove the old oil according to the appropriate regulations.

• Check the hydraulic tubes for leakage.
• Durability of the hydraulic hoses:
The use duration of the hose lines should not exceed six years, including a storage time
of at most two years.
• Check that all screws and bolts are correctly torque (turning moments, see the list)
7.2 How often must the lift be cleaned?
A regular and appropriate maintenance practice will aid the preservation of the lift.
No guarantees can be given when damage (egg rust or fading colour) is the direct result of poor
maintenance and cleaning practice.
Regular cleaning of all kinds of dirt is the best protection against wear and the formation of rust
and will prolong the life of the lift
- Dirty deposits that can cause rust include:
• de-icing salt
• sand, pebble stone, natural soil
• all types of industrial dust
• water; also in connection with other environmental influences
• all types of aggressive deposits
• constant humidity caused by insufficient ventilation

Obviously this is dependent on the type of work being done with the lift, the degree of
cleanliness of the workshop and location of the lift. The degree and amount of dirt is dependent
on the season, on the weather conditions and the ventilation of the workshop.
During poor conditions it may be necessary to clean the lift once week, but cleaning once a
month will suffice.
Clean the lift and the floor with a non-aggressive and non-abrasive detergent. Use a gentle
detergent to clean the parts. Use an standard washing-up liquid and lukewarm water.
- Do not use steam jet cleaners.
- Remove all dirt carefully with a sponge or if necessary with a brush.
- Ensure that no washing-up liquid is left on the lift after cleaning.
- Do not use aggressive means for cleaning the workshop floor and the automotive lift.
- A permanent contact with any kind of liquid is not allowed. Do not use high
pressure devices for cleaning the lift.
- After cleaning dry the automotive-lift with a suitable type of cloth and inject it with a wax
spray or an oil spray.
8. Security check
The security check is necessary to guarantee the safety of the lift during use. It has to be
performed in the following cases:
1. Before the initial operation, after the first installation.
Use the form “First security check before initiation”
2. In regular intervals after the initial operation, at least annually.
Use the form “Regular security check at least annually”
3. Every time the construction of that particular lift has been changed.
Use the form “Extraordinary security check”
The first and the regular security check must be performed by a competent person. It
is also recommended to carry out a service on the lift at this time.
After the construction of the lift has been changed (changing the lifting height or
capacity for example) and after serious maintenance works (welding load bearing
parts) an extraordinary security check must be performed by an expert.
This manual contains forms with a schedule for the security checks. Please us the appropriate
forms for the security checks. The forms should remain in this manual after they have been filled
out. A short description about special safety devices follows.

9. Handing over and Initiation
9.1 Regulations
• The installation of the lift is performed by trained technicians of the manufacturer or one of its
distribution partners. If the operator can provide trained mechanics, he can install the lift by
himself. The installation has to be done according to this regulation.
• Installing the standard-automotive lift in a hazardous location or a washing bay is not
allowed.
• Before installation a sufficient foundation must be constructed. If the foundation is already
constructed then proof that the foundation conforms to the standard is required.
A level foundation for the installation is required. The foundations must be based in a frost
resistance depth, both outdoors and indoors in a position where the installer believes there is
no chance of frost.
• An electrical supply 3~/N+PE, 400 V, 50 Hz must be provided.
The supply line must be protected with a time-lag fuse T16Ampere (VDE0100 German
regulation). The minimum diameter amounts to 2.5 mm².
• All cable ducts must be equipped with protective coverings to prevent accidents.
• After assembly of the lift, the protective grounding of the lift must be examined after
International Electronical Commission (IEC) guidelines (60364-6-61) before first start-up by
operators. Also an insulation resistance examination is recommended.
9.2 Erection and doweling of the lift
It is necessary to dowel every columns at 4 points. For this a concrete floor without
reinforcement, thickness of min.160 mm and quality C20/25 (B25) and a normal armouring is
