Safety inspections by competent persons Safety inspections must be carried out to guar- antee the safety of lifts. Safety inspections should be carried out in the following cases: • Before initial operation, after initial installation. Use the form "Initial safety inspection before in- stallation“. • After initial operation at regular intervals, but at least once a year. Use the form "Regular Safety Inspection“. • After any design modification to parts of the lift. Use the form "Unscheduled Safety Inspection“. The initial safety inspection as well as the safety inspections must be carried out by a competent person. We recommend that you also perform maintenance in the course of the inspection.

8. Cleaning • Only clean the lift when not loaded (without vehicle). • Clean main lift, lifting table and all work areas daily. In doing so, always keep all post lift components clean. If the lift is in a particularly dirty environ- ment, clean accordingly more frequently. • Do not use abrasive cleaning materials on lift parts and covers. Use lint-free cloth. • Do not use compressors or high pressure cleaners for cleaning work. • Always consult a maintenance contractor if you identify a hazard. • Prior to maintenance make sure that fittings and fixtures are free of oil, lubricants, and cleaning materials. • Cables (running steel cable) must be regularly lubricated with a suitable lubricant, from example from Duotac, CRC or Mobil (Mobilarma 798). -

Page 48: Connect The Lift Power Supply
• 12.2 Connect the lift power supply All main switches must be switched to “O” when working on the electrics of this machine. The mains power supply must be disconnected at the fuse box (disconnect the mains fuse) and isolated to prevent accidental reconnection. A clearly visible warning sign must be attached accordingly. 1. Disconnect the mains fuse and attach a sign warning against reconnection. 2. Connect the cable assembly terminals to the corresponding connectors. The connectors are coded so that only matching terminals can be connected. Connect 4 terminals to main lift, one terminal for lifting table. 3. Feed the hydraulic supply lines and power cables from below through the lower knock-out in the control box and connect to the hydraulic power unit (→ Annex, Power unit operating instructions, hydraulics diagram). 4. Check the voltage, current and power ratings on the information plate. Make sure the approved structural conditions for connecting the power cables are in place. 5. Remove the motor connection box cover and route a 5-core power cable through the cable gland into the connection box accordingly. - Page 49 7. Establish a mains connection (→ Fig. 37 and 38) • Standard configuration with 400 V connection (3+N+PE): W2 – U2 – V2 bridge. • Alternatively 3 x 230 V- connection: Change the wiring on the transformer ( → arrow, Fig.39) to 230 V. Remove the six M5 nuts in the motor connection box, bridge U1–W2, V1–U2, W1–V2 according to the diagram and tighten the nuts again. 8. Make sure that the equipment is properly earthed. Do not connect the earth conductor to gas, water, or telecommunications installations. 9. Attach the motor connection box cover. 10.Check the direction of rotation of the motor (see also direction of the arrow on the motor). To do so, close the control box, connect the mains fuse, turn the main switch to "ON“ and push the Up button. Reverse the polarity if the direction of rotation is incorrect.

16. Disposal 16.1 Environmental procedures for disposal • Prevent environmental hazards. • Avoid contact with or inhalation of toxic sub- stances such as hydraulic fluid. • Oils and lubricants are water pollutants under the terms of the Water Management Act WGH. Always dispose of these in an environmentally friendly manner in compliance with the regula- tions which apply in your country • Hydraulic oil-based on mineral oil is a water pol- lutant and is combustible. Refer to the relevant safety data sheet for disposal. • Provide suitable oil drain pans and oil absorbents to drain the oil. • Ensure that no hydraulic oil, lubricants, or clean- ing materials contaminate the soil or wash away into the drainage system. 16.2 Packaging Do not dispose of with domestic waste!
