2. Control box
Description of the control elements
1. Turning the key from position ´0´ to position ´I´ supplies the motor with power.
2. The use of the lift is mechanically with a one-hand lever (dead man´s control), which
works using a micro switch directly to the valve. To lift press the lever UP (from the
body). To lower press the lever DOWN (towards the body).
3. Immediately after release of the lever the lift stops lifting or lowering movement..
4. Turning the key from position ´I´ to position ´0´ immediately interrupts the power supply
of the motor and stops every movement (emergency stop function).
5. There is no pneumatic lowering system in case of power failure.
6. Lifting or lowering is limited mechanically by an upper and lower stop. You have to
release the level immediately at the upper or lower mechanical stop.

8. Complete user instructions
8.1 Range of use
The lift is only to be used for the lifting of motor vehicles. The maximum load capacity has
not to be exceeded.
8.2 Initial operation
The "Initial Operation" has to be carried out by an expert after the installation of the lifting
platform. Then the introduction of the operator into the proper handling and operation has to
take place.
Rights to claim under guarantee can only be given after the receipt of the initial sheeth (see
form "Initial operation by an expert") by the manufacturer.
8.3 Rights of handling
Only persons with an age of 18 and more, which are instructed in operating the lift, are
allowed to operate them independently. They have to be engaged by the person responsible
(business employer, workshop master or security representative) expressly to operate the
lifting platform. The tips of the abridged operating instructions at the control box are to
observe.

Operation and maintenance manual ROTARY SL135-series • Rev. C • Release: 07/2005 10
8.4 Lifting vehicle (principles)
a) Before you can drive on, off or over the lifting platform, it has to be lowered up to the
ground level. The driving on is allowed only in the planned direction.
b) Speeding up and braking of the vehicle rapidly is not allowed over the lift supports.
c) Vehicles with a low distance between underside and ground or with special fittings have to
be checked first if damages can happen.
d) The lifting of the vehicles is allowed only at the support points given by the car
manufacturers. If necessary use suitable additional support carriers.
e) Take care that the vehicles are lifted secure! The support points at the vehicles and the lift
have to be clean and free of oil and grease.
f) Pay attention to the allowed load distribution of 2:1.
g) After lifting the wheels from the ground the secure position of the vehicle is to check! This
means: Inspect and check if all four suppoet points are lifted up proper and secure and a
slipping of the vehicle is not possible. Further the locking systems must be in function. If
this is not: Lower down the lift and try again.
h) Possible shifts of center of gravity by a disassembly of heavy parts have to be taken into
account.
i) The vehicle is to be taken up by the lift as centric as possible.
j) It is not allowed to set the lift and the vehicle swinging intentionally.
k) During lifting and lowering of the lift no persons are allowed to stay in the danger spot of
the lift.

Operation and maintenance manual ROTARY SL135-series • Rev. C • Release: 07/2005 11
8.4.1 SL135RA
In ground position the swivel arms are pushed together and orientated parallely to the driving
direction. The screw-in cups are removed. The vehicle has to be placed in middle position.
Normally the vehicle is placed correctly, if the middle of the vehicle is over the support arms.
At ground position the locking device unlocks automatically and the swivel arms can be
turned using a hook until the holes for the screw-in cups are not more covered by the
vehicle. Now screw in the cups in their lowest possible position.
To reach the support points exactly, you can extend the swivel arms longitudinally. The
position is correct if the screw-in cups are exactly below the support points. If necessary
adjust the screw-in cups to the right height. Please note that the distance between cups and
vehicle is about equal at all four cups to lift the vehicle in level.
At vehicles with low clearance height of the vehicles´s bottom please note not to damage the
vehicle when driving on or lifting by the support plate. Probably it is necessary to use
different screw-in cups or cup elongations to avoid this.

8.4.2 SL135HP / SL135HMP
The support plates of the model SL135HP are adjustable longitudinally. You can choose the
following pre-settings as a rule:
Pushed together: very small cars
Half extended: small and normal cars
Totally extended: large cars
Recommendation:
At the half extended position you can lift about 70% of all cars without further adjustement.
To lift a car please perform the steps listed below:
- pre-adjustement of the support plates
- drive on in middle position
- adjust the additional rubber supports
- check the safe support of the plates
- lifting
To adjust the longitudinal position of the support plates push up the plate and move it until it
is fixed at the next position. Please note that both plates of one side are extended about to
the same position. Please avoid that one plate is extended completely and the other one not.
Because of the centre of gravity normally it is correct to extend at first the behind plate.
Support plates and additional rubber supports have to be kept free of oil and mud to
guarantee a safe support of the car.
Model SL135HMP is equiped with support which are adjustable longitudinally and
crossways. Please use them analogous to the normal supports. Aditionally you have to
adjust the cross plate.
For driving over you have to push in the cross plate of the supports!

Operation and maintenance manual ROTARY SL135-series • Rev. C • Release: 07/2005 13
8.5 Operation
Turn on the lift by moving the main switch to position ´I´. The use of the lift is according to
move on the one-hand lever:
Pushing the lever up: lifting
Pushing the lever down: lowering
If you release the lever the lift immediately stops.
The operator has to observe the lifting platform during the whole lifting and lowering time and
to pay attention that no persons get endangered or hindrances get under the lifting platform.
Arising faults or irregularities during lifting or lowering the lifting platform, immediately
realease the lever and protect the lift against commissioning. A putting into operation again
is only to be done by an expert.
8.6 Maintenance, care and examination
The lifting platform is in general maintenance-free for the operator provided that the regular
annual examination of an authorized ROTARY service technician is carried out together with
a maintenance. Otherwise we refer to maintenance instructions (see capter 5.)!
The following indications are to be considered:
Piston escapes and supports are to be held clean and are to be freed from polluting so that
moveability of the support plates and swivel arms remains guaranteed.
The pressure hoses between cylinder and hydraulic pump are to be exchanged at the latest
after 6 years. The replacement is to be recorded in this maintenance manual.
The annual maintenance is to be recorded in this maintenance manual.
Handle floor cleaners and water economically in the field of the lift! Only employ mild, non-
polluting cleaners. Do not use steam jet cleaners and high pressure cleaners in the direct
field of piston escape and sealings of the inground cassette. The seals may be damaged.
Keep the area around the lift dry. In the area around the built-in cassette, no floor cleaner
and after that no water or "water pools" may gather but the moisture must pour away from
the lift.
Don't let supports lie on wet workshop floor overnight but drive it slightly up.

8.7 Behavior in case of malfunction
In case of malfunction, in particular with leakiness in the oil system, the lift is to be shut down
immediately and secured against unauthorized use by taking out key of the main power
switch.
Before repairing the failure, a further use is forbidden. Repairs may only be carried out by a
competent and trained personnel.
For elimination of simple failures, ROTARY service hotline ++49-(0)-771-9233-0 is available
for you.
8.8 Pneumatic emergency lowering
During power failure or at defective lowering valve, the lift can be lowered without energy. At
the control a pneumatic emergency lowering is included on the bottom. Simply blow with a
blow gun into the opening and the lift lowers slowly down.
8.9 Spare parts
For repairs, only original ROTARY spare parts are allowed. These can be bought over
ROTARY service technicians or in case of smaller self repairs directly from ROTARY.
