• Correctness and completeness; have all parts (additionally) and or accessories
ordered been supplied?
In the event of damage always contact Stertil B.V. or the supplier.
All worn or broken parts need to be replaced with genuine lift manufacturer
supplied parts.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Read all instructions.
• If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with
a current rating equal to or more than the
equipment. Cords rated for less current than the
equipment may overheat. Take care to arrange the
cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.
• Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet
when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the
plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to
disconnect.
• Let equipment cool completely before putting
away. Loop cord loosely around equipment when
storing.
• To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate
equipment in the vicinity of open containers of
flammable liquids (gasoline).
• Provide adequate ventilation when working on
internal combustion engines.

Operating instructions (Version 0) 16 ST 1075
• Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers and all parts of
the body away from moving parts.
• To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not use
on wet surfaces or expose to rain.
• Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturers recommended attachments.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday
eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses they
are not safety glasses.
• Use by untrained people could result in serious
injury and/or damage.
• Only authorized persons should operate the
mobile lift. These persons are in any case familiar
with the operating instructions of the lift.
• Do not use the lifting system outdoors.
• Danger of getting injured by electrical shock.
• Care must be taken as burns can occur from
touching hot parts.
• Only remove the covers to carry out maintenance,
ensure that the mobile lift is disconnected from
the power supply.
• Take care as burns can occur from touching hot
parts.
• Prevent damage to the power feed cables on
account of driving over or heavy or falling objects.

• Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or
if the equipment has been dropped or damaged
until it has been examined by a qualified
serviceman.
• In case of using one or two lifting columns (in
paired operation), be sure that this will not result
in stability risks. In case of doubt, consult your
superior. Unsafe lifting can result in serious injury
and damage to the lifting system and/or vehicles.
• This mobile lift should only be used for lifting of
vehicles and not for other applications. The
positioning of the lifting system must be done in a
way that a safe working area will be obtained,
thereby creating escape paths for emergency
situations (leave passageways of at least 24").
• For important vehicle technology see section
4.3 ’Safety when hoisting’ on page 29.
• If a vehicle is in the lifted position, its air
suspension system may not be used in a view of
possible change of track width and/or wheel base.
• Use the lifting columns only on a hard and level
floor with sufficient bearing capacity, see the
specifications for floor pressure and floor load in
Table 3.1 ’Specifications’ on page 22.
• Whenever a vehicle is raised on the lift, always
raise the mobile column lifts to at least above the
first safety lock.

Operating instructions (Version 0) 18 ST 1075
• Always lower the mobile column lifts into the
safety lock before starting any work on the vehicle
or leaving the vehicle unattended.
FOR YOUR AND OTHER PEOPLES SAFETY: SAVE
THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Warning
wAll accessories supplied with this lift are to be used on this lift only.
Accessories from other lifts are not acceptable and could result in injury to the
user.
2.4 Manufacturers instructions to the lift
owner/employer
The owner/employer shall:
• Ensure that lift operators are qualified and that they are trained in the safe
use and operation of the lift using the manufacturers operating
instructions; ALI/SM 01-1, ALI Lifting it Right safety manual; ALI/ST-90, ALI
Safety Tips card; ANSI/ALI ALOIM-2008, American National Standard for
Automotive Lifts-Safety Requirements for Operation Inspection and
Maintenance; ALI/WL Series, ALI Uniform Warning Label Decals/Placards;
SAE J2184, Vehicle Lift Points for Service Garage Lifting.
• Establish procedures to periodically inspect the lift in accordance with the
lift manufacturers instructions; ANSI/ALI ALOIM-2008, American National
Standard for Automotive Lifts-Safety Requirements for Inspection and
Maintenance; and the employer shall ensure that lift inspectors are
qualified and that they are adequately trained in the inspection of the lift.
• Maintain the periodic inspection and maintenance records recommended
by the manufacturer or ANSI/ALI ALOIM-2008, American National Standard
for Automotive Lifts-Safety Requirements for Inspection and Maintenance;
and the employer shall ensure that lift inspectors are qualified and that they
are adequately trained in the inspection of the lift.
• Display the lift manufacturers operating instructions; ALI/SM 01-1, ALI
Lifting it Right safety manual; ALI/ST-90, ALI Safety Tips card; ANSI/ALI
ALOIM-2008, American National Standard for Automotive Lifts-Safety
Requirements for Operation Inspection and Maintenance; in a conspicuous
location in the lift area convenient to the operator.

• Provide necessary lockout/tagout means for energy sources per ANSI
Z244.1-1982 (R1993), Safety Requirements for the Lockout/Tagout of
Energy Sources, before beginning any lift repairs.
• Not modify the lift in any manner without the prior written consent of the
manufacturer.
2.5 Safety measures
2.5.1 Emergency stop
Set the rotary switch on the main control box to 0 or press the emergency button on
the auxiliary control box if an emergency arises. All movements of all column lifts will
stop.
If the emergency stop has been used, check:
• whether any person is trapped,
• whether the mobile column lifts have been damaged.
2.5.2 Safety features
The mobile column lifts have a control and monitoring system, which ensures that:
• the guide blocks always stay at an equivalent height within the control limits,
• lowering is halted in the event that obstacles cause an elevation difference to
occur,
• the control circuit is interrupted, in the event the height difference between the
guide blocks exceeds a pre-defined value; operation via the push buttons on the
mobile column lift control boxes is then disabled,
• the lowering action stops 12’’ above the floor; if the <DOWN> and <UNLOCK>
buttons are pressed again, the column will be lowered further with an
accompanying acoustic signal; this option (foot protection) can be enabled or
disabled; by default it is disabled,
• lifting is halted when the highest position is reached (height safeguard),
• the lifting columns cannot be operated if one or more of the columns are lifted
using the pallet lifting mechanism.
• lowering is mechanically blocked in the event of loss of control power or leakage
from the cylinders.
