Safety measures
2.5.1 Emergency stop
The main switch, on the right in the control panel, should also be used as an
emergency stop switch. In the event of a dangerous situation, stop the vehicle lift by
using this switch.
After the emergency stop has been used, check:
• If anybody needs to be freed.
• If the vehicle lift is damaged.
2.5.2 Protection
The vehicle lift is fitted with a control system, which ensures that:
• Both tracks remain the same height.
• Lifting stops as soon as the lift is overloaded: lift-stop function.
• Lowering stops in case of height differences caused by obstacles underneath
tracks.
• The control current is switched off when the height difference between the two
tracks reaches a pre-determined value; then, operation by means of the push
buttons on the control box of the vehicle lift is no longer possible.
• Lifting stops when the highest position has been reached.
