Safety Thoroughly read this manual before operating the equipment and comply with the instructions. Always display the manual in a conspicuous location. Personal injury and property damage incurred due to non-compliance with these safety instructions are not covered by the product liability regulations. Symbols and Signal Words 1.1.1 Personal Injury...
Intended Use The lift is intended for use in automotive workshops with passenger cars, commer- cial vehicles, buses, trailers and agricultural vehicles. Use in potentially explosive areas and outdoors is prohibited. Use in wet or flam- mable areas is only permitted with the express written permission of the manufac- turer.
Safety Instructions for Operation WARNING All loose parts within the package must be safeguarded by trained personnel and work plans must be adhered to. Observe transport guidelines. The lifting points are defined and indicated on the packaging. Work plans for packaging, suitable transport equipment and lifting accessories must be available and used during final assembly.

means (DIN EN 1494). The pit jack must always be moved using both hands. If one person is unable to pro- vide the manual force required, another person should be called upon. Operators must pay attention to all movements of the pit jack so that they neither endanger themselves or others.
Description Design and Operating Principle These manually operated hydraulic, combined hydraulic / pneumatic or pneumatic pit jack / axle and transmission jacks are lifting devices for lifting vehicles and power trains. The pit jacks can be moved in the longitudinal and transverse direction on a chassis, the axle and transmission jack using a chassis running on the ground using rollers.
Sample Nameplate PIT JACK Ser. No. / Date of Production: Project: Type: Load Capacity: Max. Hoisting Height: Net Weight: Transport and Storage NOTICE Check package to ensure it is complete, in accordance with the order confirmation. Report any transport damage to the carrier immediately. During loading, unloading and transport always use suitable lifting equipment, material handling equipment (e.g.

Slide the chassis carriers sideways onto the lift rollers (Caution: Danger of tip- ping!) and secure with lashing straps. At least one second person must be called in to support the assembly work, and if necessary other persons must also be called in.
Page 17
Fasten one side part with round sling, lift it by crane and insert it laterally with the square spigots into the chassis carriers as far as it will go. At least one second per- son must be called in to support the assembly work, and if necessary other per- sons must also be called in.
Page 18
Align the chassis with the one already mounted side part load symmetrically on the lift, i.e. the centre-of-gravity (not the centre!) should be aligned centrally above the lift. Attention: Danger of tipping! At least one second person must be called in to support the assembly work, and if necessary other persons must also be called in.
Page 19
Repeat step 6 with second side panel. After inserting the second side panel, repo- sition the chassis centrally on the lift. At least one second person must be called in to support the assembly work, and if necessary other persons must also be called in.
Page 20
Now align the lift centrally in the chassis and secure it against slipping. Two lashing straps are recommended, which are guided through the handle openings in the carriers and enclose the lift in opposite directions. At least one second per- son must be called in to support the assembly work, and if necessary other per- sons must also be called in.

Attach the hoist diagonally to two jack rollers with a round sling. Then lift the jack incl. chassis by crane and lower it centrally into the pit. The side panels must be pushed in as far as they will go as described in steps 6 and 8.
Page 22
Align the jack in the L-profile or in the U-profile depending on the installation situation. If necessary, the chassis can be tilted for this purpose if the securing described in step 9 has been carried out correctly using lashing straps. BA550401-en...

Loosen the M12 screws on one side panel until the washer can be turned freely. Now pull out the side panel until the collars of the chassis rollers are in contact with the pit profile. Repeat the process with the second side panel. Make sure that both side pa- nels are extended to the same extent so that the carriers are positioned sym- metrically in the middle between the side panels.
Page 24
Tighten the M12 screws on both side panels to a tightening torque of 85 ±5 Nm. Check the central alignment of the chassis. Remove the round slings and push the jack through the entire working pit. At the widest point of the working pit, the clearance between the roller collar and the pit profile may be 5 mm on both sides.
Assembly of the Carriage Version above 20 t The carriages for loads above 20 t are welded to size, i.e. no side panels can be moved or carriers removed. Observe the assembly and disassembly procedure described in section “Assembly of the Carriage Version up to 16.5 t”.
Page 26
c. Use a suitable hoist to lift the carriage and lower it above the lift until the head plate is approx. 90 mm above the running surface of the carriage. Then mount the jack axles incl. rollers (see illustration). Set the tightening torque to 50 ±5 Nm. d.
Operation Controls Release spindle Rapid lift control (automatic via remote control) Rapid lift control (hand operated) Load lift control (automatic via remote control) Load lift control (hand operated) BA550401-en...
Raising and Lowering Speed lift without load By activating the automatic or manual speed control (B or C) the ram moves up to engage the load (axle, gearbox). Depending on the air pressure and the lift achieved, the ram rises a little further after releasing the button. Lifting the load The load is lifted by activating the automatic or manual / foot operated lifting control (D or E).
General Operating Instructions for Lifting Accessories WARNING Support tubes must not be extended. Risk of tilting! Danger of crushing at the edge of the pit and support bridge! The support system shall only be removed if the vehicle is in a secure stable posi- tion.
Maintenance Annual Inspection The maintenance interval prescribed by the manufacturer is 12 (twelve) months. This maintenance interval refers to normal workshop usage. If the equipment is used more frequently or under severe operating conditions (e.g. outdoors), the in- terval must be reduced accordingly. ...
Maintenance by the Operator The pit jack must be extended to its full height at least 1 x per week and pumped through a few times with the release spindle closed. This automatically bleeds air from the system and any accumulated leaked oil is eliminated. ...
Refilling with Hydraulic Fluid Before checking and topping up the fluid level, make sure the piston rod is fully retracted and the jack is disconnected from the air and power supply. The fluid level must be between the two notches on the screwed-in dipstick. If the dipstick has only one notch, this indicates the maximum fluid level and the lower end of the dipstick the minimum fluid level.
Disposal If you want to dispose of the equipment, please contact your MAHA dealer or the following address, indicating equipment type, date of purchase and serial number: MAHA Maschinenbau Haldenwang GmbH & Co. KG...
