Installation guidelines
Before the initial operation of your product (only necessary for electric or battery-powered
versions), the supplied foot switch and console must be mounted and connected to the
device.
The foot switch console can be mounted on any longitudinal side of the base frame of your
product using the two screws included in the scope of delivery as well as the Allen key.
At first, the two screws on the selected longitudinal side of the base frame must be
unscrewed. Then, the console is mounted together with the foot switch being threaded
through the central hole.
For this purpose, the console including the foot switch is attached and screwed to the base
of the table using the two fastening screws and the Allen key via the holes on the upper
side of the console.

Operation and handling
The adjustment of the product is usually carried out either by a foot switch or a hydraulic
pump, depending on the selected product configuration. These operational elements are
attached to the side of the table. Consequently, the corresponding mechanism must be
operated to adjust the height of the table.
Height adjustment (electrical or battery-powered version)
Height adjustment of the product in electric or battery powered version is performed by an
electric actuator which is powered either by the electricity mains of a power cord connection
or by a rechargeable battery.
Pressing the left button on the foot switch raises the table or initiates an upward movement.
In the opposite case, pressing the right button lowers the table or initiates a downward
movement.
The button must remain pressed until the desired height is attained. Releasing this button
brings the table plate to a standstill at the desired height.
Height adjustment (hydraulic version)
The height adjustment of the product in hydraulic version is performed by an installed
hydraulic system.
Repeated pumping of the right (longer) pedal raises the table or initiates an upward
movement. For this purpose, the user must actuate the pedal repeatedly until the desired
height is reached. Refraining from pumping brings the table plate to a standstill at the
desired height.

Lowering

Instruction Manual VET LIFT
Page 8 of 27
Version 2.02
For lowering the table top, press the left (shorter) pedal. When doing so, however, it is
necessary to push this pedal and hold it down until the table top has again reached the
desired height. Releasing the pedal brings the table top to a standstill at the desired height.
Adjustment of the tilting mechanism (version with tilting top)
By actuating the flap located on the underneath of the table top (see picture below on the
left), the tilting mechanism is activated. Assisted by a gas pressure spring, the top can be
held in any desired position (up to max. 11°), and releasing the flap keeps it in the respective
position. As a result, this mechanism allows convenient single-hand operation.
Tilting as well as tilting back (in the opposite direction) is performed by actuating and
holding the indicated flap upwards.
Maneuverability (movable version with double castors)
The product is equipped with four independent double castors of large diameter (100 mm)
to ensure optimal maneuverability of the table, especially in narrow and angular
environments.
Each double castor can be locked individually and separately. For this purpose, the lever
discernible between the two castors must be pressed down.

Version 2.02
Should the product be returned to a movable configuration, the lever between the two
castors of each table leg must be pushed upwards again.
It is explicitly pointed out at this point that for a firm and stable positioning of the product
(especially during operation as well as regular use), all four double castors must be blocked
in order to enable a safe positioning of the table.
Maneuverability (fixed version with one-sided castors)
For cleaning purposes of the floor underneath, the table can be moved very easily by a
single person.
This requires first to disconnect the electrical power cord from the socket. Subsequently, the
table's center of gravity should be slightly moved by lifting the product onto the castors
located on two legs, and the device can be easily rolled away. In this case, the user is advised
to stand on the side of the fixed part of the table and, when the table is lifted, to push it in
the desired direction.
Once the table has reached the designated position, it is necessary to set the table down
again so that an even center of gravity is restored on all four legs. Due to the sophisticated
chassis, the product is protected from unintentional maneuvers after being parked.
Power supply (electric version with power cord)
The product is equipped with a power plug in the electric version. This provides voltage to
all electronic components that are installed in the table, especially the electric actuators.

Version 2.02
A suitable power cord including a power plug is included in the scope of delivery. To avoid
injuries and other malfunctions, only connect the power cord to a power circuit when the
table is actually in operation.
Charging the table (battery-powered version)
In case you have chosen a battery-powered version of the present product, a sophisticated
battery system has already been pre-installed within your table. This provides power to all
electrical consumers that are built into the table, particularly the electric actuators.
Thereby, the battery is located on the front side of the tables chassis near the bottom and
can be easily disconnected from the table by pressing the tab on the black edge of the
battery.
Reinserting the battery is done by sliding the battery into the housing until an audible click
is heard and the battery is thus securely locked in place and connected to the product.
In order to achieve a long battery lifespan, it is recommended to fully charge the battery
after operation every day (for example, overnight). This is the most effective way of avoiding
a deep discharge of up to 100% over the course of the application period. Otherwise, the
battery lifespan would be considerably shortened, as a higher depth of discharge of the
battery results in extended wear and tear of the battery.

Version 2.02
The supplied power charger has to be connected to the external power socket on the one
hand and to the socket on the battery's front with the connector on the other hand during
the charging process, as well as disconnected again after the charging process is finished.
Having a second spare battery plugged into the charger meanwhile proves to be very useful
in this case. This battery is fully charged when the LED light on the charger goes out. Please
note that the number of possible strokes with one battery charge depends on the respective
load (therefore, more load means fewer strokes).
Weighing functionality (version with integrated scale)
In case you have chosen a model with integrated scale, the following technical specifications
are additionally relevant:
Weighing range: 0 to 120 kg in steps of 50 g
Animal weighing function: Averaging computation
Batteries: 4 pieces AA
Working time (with 1 battery life) of approx. 220 hours
Self-switch off after 3 minutes

Before the first use of your product, the batteries must be inserted into the display of the
scale and subsequently the display mounted onto the table. To do so, proceed as described
in the following illustrations.
Prior to inserting the batteries, the cover flap on the rear side of the scale display must be
opened. Thereafter, a set consisting of 4 pieces of AA batteries is inserted. After closing the
flap on the rear side of the display, the installation of the batteries is completed.
Lastly, the scale display must be inserted into the designated rack on the long side of the
table respectively on the right edge of the scale. In particular, pay attention to the two
clamps on the left and right sides of the rack and adjust them accordingly so that a stable
insertion of the display and a connection with the table are achieved.

Cleaning and disinfection instructions
Regular and proper cleaning ensures an extensive lifespan of your product.
Failure to comply with the cleaning measures as recommended may result in serious
infection hazards!
The present product is equipped with either a stainless steel or synthetic top as well as a
powder-coated steel chassis or a frame made of top-quality, electropolished stainless steel.
In fact, the frame is extremely resistant to corrosion and rust. For the product to achieve the
longest possible lifespan, it should be routinely and thoroughly cleaned.
Cleaning may be performed using wet cloths with mild cleaning agents and disinfectants.
Use only standardized and common cleaning agents and disinfectants. Prescribed dosages
and dilutions must be observed at all times. The table surface should be wiped regularly
using just wet cloths together with conventional cleaning agents.
Strictly avoid: →corrosion-promoting or aggressive cleaning products
→detergents containing harmful substances
→abrasive cleanings
→cleaning products affecting the epoxy coating
Make sure to always read the product information and observe the instructions for the
respective cleaning products and disinfectants. The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
damage, injuries and impairments which are the result of improper use of cleaning products
or disinfectants.
Attention: The product is NOT suitable for automatic washes and bed sterilizers. The
use of a high-pressure cleaner is also prohibited.
Always disinfect the product before a new patient is placed on the table top. Only qualified
and trained personnel who are instructed in the effects and usage of disinfectants may carry
out the disinfection. Appropriate protective clothing and gloves must always be worn when
cleaning and disinfecting.
It is strongly discouraged to apply an additional protective coating in the form of varnish or
paint.
Cleaning stainless steel top
For cleaning the stainless steel top, a "mild" disinfectant (e.g. kitchen detergent) is sufficient.
The entire top surface of the plate should be rinsed frequently with clean water and wiped
dry. Residues such as blood or urine should be removable with soap and water. In the case
of stubborn residues, it may be necessary to use a suitable brush in conjunction with a
special cleaner. Please make sure that this cleaner is suitable for stainless steel surfaces (e.g.
"SIDOLIN Ceran + Steel").

Instruction Manual VET LIFT
Page 19 of 27
Version 2.02
Never use steel wool or steel brushes, as otherwise micro particles could penetrate the
surface of the stainless steel top and cause corrosion. If necessary, only use nylon or other
plastic brushes.
To remove calcium deposits or such limestones, preferably use vinegar and subsequently
rinse the surface with clean water. Afterwards, the surface of the plate should be wiped dry
with a soft cloth.
Avoid extended contact of halogen-containing substances (chlorine, bromine, iodine) and
thiocyanate with the stainless steel surface. Prolonged contact or drying of salty solutions
may also cause discoloration or corrosion.
The use of various PVC plastic mats as underlays is also not recommended. Heat exposure
in some operating lights can cause chlorides to escape, which in turn may come into contact
with the stainless steel plate and lead to discoloration or corrosion of the latter.
Regular cleaning with water and "mild" detergents as well as subsequent rubbing dry with
soft cloths has proven to be the ideal way to care for stainless steel plates. In this context,
one should bear in mind that there is no such thing as a completely corrosion-free stainless
steel plate, in whatever alloy form, so far.
The use of additional protective coating in the form of varnish or paint is also strongly
discouraged. Engravings of names or other carved information on the stainless steel plate
will immediately lead to surface corrosion.
New stainless steel table tops usually have a flawless surface. Only on a brand new table top
you will be able to notice a scratch immediately. However, it should be mentioned at this
point that already after a very short time there will be so many, smaller scratches that the
overall appearance will be accepted as such.
Cleaning synthetic top
A "mild" disinfectant (e.g. kitchen detergent) is sufficient for cleaning the synthetic top. The
entire surface of the plate should be rinsed frequently with clear water and wiped dry.
Residues such as blood or urine should be able to be removed with soap and water. In the
case of stubborn residues, it may be necessary to use a suitable brush in conjunction with a
special cleaner.
To remove calcium deposits or such limestones, one should preferably use vinegar and then
rinse the surface with clean water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Regular cleaning with water and "mild" detergents as well as subsequent dry rubbing with
soft cloths has proven to be the ideal care for synthetic tops.
Never use steel wool or steel brushes. If necessary, use nylon or other plastic brushes only.
A weekly cleaning with a special synthetic cleaner is recommended. Contact your local
distributor for this product.

Special cleaning and care instructions (STAINLESS STEEL versions)
In case you have chosen a VET LIFT with a stainless steel frame, the following instructions
for cleaning the stainless steel frame are applicable in supplement to the general cleaning
and care instructions already provided above. These are basically similar to the cleaning
and care instructions for the stainless steel top.
For cleaning the stainless steel frame, a "mild" disinfectant (e.g. kitchen detergent) is
sufficient. The entire surface of the frame should be rinsed repeatedly with clean water and
wiped dry. Residues such as blood or urine should be removable with soap and water. In
the case of stubborn residues, it may be necessary to use a suitable brush in conjunction
with a special cleaner. Please make sure that this cleaner is suitable for stainless steel
surfaces (e.g. "SIDOLIN Ceran + Steel").
Never use steel wool or steel brushes, as otherwise micro particles could penetrate the
stainless steel surface and cause corrosion. If necessary, only use nylon or other plastic
brushes.
To remove calcium deposits or such limestones, preferably use vinegar and subsequently
