4. Safety regulations
Using automotive lifts for working the regulations of accident prevention EN1493/Aug.98
(CEN/TC 98“automotive lifts“ “european regulation“) must be observed.
Especially the following regulations are very important
•The laden weight of the lifted vehicle mustn’t be more than 3200 kg. The max. load
sharing is 2:1 in or against drive-on direction.
• During 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.
• During lifting or lowering the vehicle it must be observed from the operator.
•It’s not allowed to stay under the lifted or lowered vehicle (except for the operator).
•It’s not allowed to transport passengers on the lift or in the vehicle.
•It’s not allowed to climb onto the lift during lifting or lowering or onto a lifted
vehicle.
• The Automotive Lift must be checked from an expert after changes in construction
or after repairing carrying pads.
•It’s not allowed to start with operations at the lift before the main switch is switched
off.
•Switching on or switching off the lift you have to take care that the lifting and
lowering movement are steady.
• It’s not allowed to install the standard-automotive lift in hazardous location.
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!
The operating elements are shown in picture 1.
Lifting the vehicle with the SPL 3200
• Drive vehicle between the two columns, longitudinal directon and transverse
direction in centre.
• Safe the vehicle against rolling away, switch ino gear, activate parking brake
•Slew carrying arms under vehicle and position pads at the points which are provided
from the vehicle-manufacturer
•Control 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
•Turn operating (reversing) switch to position "↑" and hold position "↑" until the
wheels of the vehicle are free
17
Instruction and Documentation
SPL 3200

• When the wheels have been lifted free, stop with lifting; let go of operating
(reversing) switch and check safety sit of the pads under the vehicle.
The sit of the pads under the vehicle is very important. If the position
of the pads isn’t all right the vehicle might fall down!
Lifting great vehicles (transporter, cross country cars) pay attention that the roof
doesn’t touch the traverse of the lift. In case the vehicle touches the traverse of
the lift, a switching off strip is pressed upside, which pulls the operating switch
via rod assembly to position ”0” , so the lift doesn’t lift any more. Afterwards the
operating switch can not be turned to position "↑"any more. However the lift can
still be lowered by pulling the operating lever (refer to ”lowering of the lift”).
After lowering the lift to the position where the switch off strip is free, the
operating switch is released and the lift can be lifted again.
•Lift vehicle on height for working; turn operating switch to position "↑", keep it
until height for working or top position is reached
18
Instruction and Documentation
SPL 3200
pic. 1: operating elements
(front view) (side view) (side view)

When the lift is lifted to top position the operating switchis pulled to
position ”0” with the help of a rod assembly. So lifting stops. Afterwards
the operating switch can not be turned to position "↑"any more. The lift
can only be lowered (as described in section ”lowering of the lift”). When
top position is left the operating switch is released and the lift can be lifted
again.
In case the operating switch is not pulled to position ”0” at top position
automaticly the ratchet -rope is slack or torn. Refer to chapter
”Troubleshooting” section ”torn rope”!
Lowering the vehicle with the automotive lift
•Control 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
•Lower the vehicle at the height for working or until the carrying arms reach the
lowest position; Pull operating lever ”lowering” (= lever left side) until height for
working or until lowest position.
Attention! while using lever ”lowering”, both levers (”lowering” and
”lowering in ratchet” will be activated!)
•When the lift is in lowest position, slew carrying arms inside and drive vehicle out
of the lift
Lowering the the automotive lift in ratchet
•Control 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
•Lower the vehicle in ratchet; pull operating lever ”lowering in ratchet” (= lever right
side).
Attention! Before going on with ”lowering” , lift the lift first a little bit
until the ratchet is not engaged any more, then go on with lowering!
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.
Repairs at the lift’ s security devices as well as repairs and examinations of the
electrical fittings may only be performed by specialists.

Instruction and Documentation
SPL 3200

Problem: Motor does not start, lift is neither lifting nor lowering!
Potential causes • Fuse is defective: replace fuse
of trouble: • Feed line is cut
• Motor is overheated: let it cool down for app. 10 min.
Problem: Lift is not lifting!
Potential causes • Level of hydraulic oil is too low
of trouble: • In case of cold weather the hydraulic oil is too viscous
• ball-valve defective or dirty
• coupling between motor and pump is defective
• oil-filter in tank is dirty
• things (nuts, screws...) are in the columns and block the low lift
platform truck
• height limit switch is activated
Problem: lift cannot be lowered!
Potential causes • lift is driven onto an obstacle
of trouble: • equalisation ropes are too tight. Make sure that the ropes are fastened
(refer to capter ”Installation and Initiation”)
• Ratchets are engaged: move the lift up before lowering.
• In case of cold weather the hydraulic oil is too viscous
• ratchet-rope is torn; (refer to emergency lowering)
roblem: lift lowers by itself until the ratchet is engaged
Potential causes • holding valve isn’t tight or dirty
of trouble: • ball-valve is leck or dirty
Problem: lift is jerked while lowering
Potential causes • equalisation ropes are too tight, check course of the ropes
of trouble: (refer to ”installation and initiation”)
•air is in oil circulation; deaerate (refer to ”installation and initiation”)
Problem: operating (reversing) switch is not pulled back
mögliche Ursachen: • safety-rope is torn (refer to ”torn-rope”)
• safety-rope is slack (refer to ”torn-rope”)
Emergency lowering
If the ratchet-rope is torn the lift can not be lowered any more because one or two ratchets
are engaged. In this case there is the possibility to lower the lift by unlocking the ratchets
manually.
The emergency lowering must only be performed by persons instructed to use
the lift. Please refer to the regulation ”Lowering”.
