2.7 Safety devices
The lift is equipped with an emergency stop switch. Lifting and lowering
are possible only by triggering the foot pedal. After release of the pedal all
motions are immediately stopped.
Furthermore, the lift is equipped with a mechanical safety device. From
lifting height of approx. 50 cm two securing rods slide into the safety
catches (they are automatically raised during lifting of the lift). This means
that in the event of a sudden hydraulic or pneumatic failure, the lift can
only descend to the next safety point.
2.8 Regular inspection of the lift
The lift must be inspected at twelve-month intervals by a licensed expert
or a specialist based on the inspection log. These checks need to be
documented.

cm without load. This height later
has a decisive influence on the
ground clearance when operating
the lift. Depending on the selected
mounting height, the clearance is
between
1 cm and 8 cm and can therefore
be adjusted.
2. To extend the transport rollers,
loosen the axial mounting screws
on both sides of the lift clockwise
with an SW 22 wrench until the
transport rollers touch the
ground. (Fig. 7)
3. Tighten the mounting screws
again.
