The vehicle must now be lowered by an 
authorised competent person. 

ONLY use adapter extensions from the lift 
manufacturer. DO NOT use wood or concrete 
blocks or other improvised extensions. 

Check the condition of the pick-up points on the 
vehicle. These should be free of grease, oil and 
dirt. Arms swing under the vehicle and position the 
adapter on the pick-up points recommended by the 
vehicle manufacturer (Fig. 4). Bring the adapter to 
the corresponding height to stop the car straight 
and properly balanced. 
 

When raising and lowering, monitor the lifted 
vehicle constantly

. If the lift is not synchronised, 

pause the movement and determine the cause. 
 
Monitor the tension of the synchronisation cables 
through the inspection window in the plate frame, 
and if there are irregularities, shut down the lift 
and contact the service department. 

Raising 

1.  Press the Up 



 button. Raise the vehicle 

slightly. 

2.  Check that the vehicle pick-up points are 

secure. 

3.  Press the Up 



 button. Raise the vehicle to the 

desired height.  

4.  Make sure that each pinion engages the ring 

gear as soon as the slider block loses contact 
with the floor. 

5.  If one of the pinions does not engage the ring 

gear, the bolt with the pull ring at the top can be 
seen to protrude further than normal at the top 
on the guide shaft of the pinion (Fig. 8, in 
normal position). In this case, lower the slider 
block and re-position the problematic arm.  

6.  Release the SAFETY lever and the Up button 



as soon as the working height has been 
reached.  

7.  When the required height has been reached, 

the lift can engage the safety latch.  

8.  Set the main switch to ”0", as soon as the 

necessary working height has been reached. 

Down 

1.  Connect the control unit to the power supply 

and set the main switch to “1“, pull the SAFETY 

lever and push the DOWN button 



 to lower the 

lift to the required level. 

2.  If you cannot pull the lever down, the latching 

mechanism has engaged. Press the UP 



 and 

DOWN 



 buttons at the same time so that the 

slider block rises and the lever is released. Then 
lower the vehicle.  

The latch mechanism, the lever, and the "Up" 
and "Down" switches are dead man’s 
switches. The lift is raised and lowered as 
long as the buttons and the lever are 
engaged. 

3.  Set the main switch to “0“.  

5.6  Using the lift 



Prevent extreme vibrations from the vehicle 
whilst it is positioned on the lift 



If required, always use safety stands as 
stabilisers when removing or fitting heavy 
components (i.e. engines, gearboxes etc). Use 
4 safety stands  



When lowering, stay outside the range of the lift. 
Do not stand in the lowering zone. 



Wear protective goggles when working 
underneath the vehicle  



If necessary, also use support straps to stabilise 
the vehicle on the arm when disassembling 
parts. 

5.7  Before lowering the lift 



Remove all tools and other objects from the lift 
zone. 



Ensure that no-one is in the lift zone. 



Ensure that there are no people or objects in the 
drive-off zone before driving the vehicle from the 
lift. 

5.8  Driving the vehicle from the 
lift 

1.  Secure the vehicle against rolling. 

2.  Ensure that the arms are in their outermost 

position on full drive-thru position before driving 
the vehicle from the lift.
