2.8 Safety devices
Integrated in the switch box is a hydraulic power unit
which generates the necessary pressure to lift the vehi-
cle. This is controlled by valves and moves the cylinders
and platforms upwards via the scissor mechanism. Du-
ring the lifting process, the safety catches engage to pre-
vent the platforms from lowering in case of a defect in the
hydraulic system.

The left as well as the right side of the base plate is fixed
with an anti-tipper. This prevents a possible tipping of the
vehicle.

3 Intended use
The scissor lift is used exclusively for lifting and lowering
loads, e.g. vehicles, up to the specified maximum load.
Proper use also includes compliance with all the informa-
tion in these instructions. Any use beyond the intended
use or any other use is considered misuse.
NOTE!
The improper use (misuse) of the lift as well as the
