lifts are not suitable for:
-Washing spray work;
-Creating raised platforms for personnel or lifting personnel;

The manufacturer is not liable for any injury to persons or damage to vehicles and
other property caused by the incorrect and unauthorized use of the lifts.

As the diagrams illustrated, the presence of persons inside the danger zone indicated is strictly
prohibited. During operations persons are admitted to the area beneath the vehicle only when
the vehicle is already in the elevated position, when the platforms are stationary, and when the
mechanical safety devices are firmly engaged (e.g.: the safety gear is completely locked).
DO NOT USE THE LIFT WITHOUT PROTECION DEVICES OR WITH THE
PROTECTION DEVICES INHIBITED.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REGULATION CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY TO
PERSONS, AND IRREPEARABLE DAMAGE TO THE LIFT AND THE VEHICLE BEIN LIFED.
