1. Slide the red safety lock upwards in the direction of the arrow (PULL-
EMERGENCY label).
2. Now, the motor is lowering slowly (lowering weight approx. 20 kg).
3. The motor stops, when the safety lock is positioned back in its normal position =
release the safety lock.
Note:
The emergency lowering mechanism must not be treated with oil, grease or any other
lubricant, as this could cause the emergency lowering mechanism to run too smoothly!

required.
