Assembly

■

Do not exceed the maximum payload indicat-
ed in the technical data.

■

Only use the device on level ground

■

Speed increases the load on the device (dy-
namic influences). The maximum permissible
load capacity only applies to evenly distribut-
ed loads. The maximum permissible speed is
walking speed (max. 5 km/h). Avoid starting
up and braking rapidly as this subjects the
ramps to additional loads.

■

Repairs to the device must be carried out by
the manufacturer or by one of its customer
service centres.

■

Only carry the ramp parts individually and us-
ing both hands.

For safety reasons, replace any worn or dam-
aged parts. Only use original spare parts and
accessories.

Store the device in a place where it is not ex-
posed to the weather.

■

Only store the device lying down.
