Intended Use • The lift is intended for use in automotive workshops with passenger cars, commercial vehicles, buses, trailers and agricultural vehicles. • Use in potentially explosive areas and outdoors is prohibited. Use in wet or flammable areas is only permitted with the express written permission of the manufacturer.
Safety Instructions for Operation WARNING • All loose parts within the packaging must be secured by trained personnel and in compliance with the work plans. • Observe transport guidelines; load suspension points are defined and marked on the packaging. • Work plans for packaging, suitable transport equipment and slings must be available and used during final assembly.

• If adjustable mounting plates are available, height differences of the mount- ing points must be compensated. • It is not permitted to work under the lifted load unless it is secured by suita- ble means (DIN EN 1494). • The lifter must always be moved with both hands. If the required manual force cannot be provided by one person, another person shall be called in.
Description Design and Operating Principle These pit jacks are based on the synchronous principle of all telescopic stages. These hand-hydraulic, hydraulic/pneumatic combined or pneumatic pit jacks / axle and transmission jacks are lifting devices for lifting vehicles and component units. The pit jack can be moved longitudinally and transversely via a carriage, the axle and gear jack via a floor-running carriage with rollers.

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. cranes, forklifts, etc.) and the right load handling attachments and slings.

• Completely remove the packaging from jack and carriage. IMPORTANT: The carriage is matched to the pit specified in the order. Use in other pits is only permitted after consultation with the manufac- turer. • For reasons of work safety, the jack must be disconnected from the car- riage during the installation process.

• Set the adjustable side parts of the carriage to the respective pit dimen- sion. To do this, loosen the hex screws (B). Make sure that both side parts are extended as far as possible (see di- mension "X"). • Secure the extensions with hex screws (B). Set a tightening torque of 50 ±5 Nm.
Page 17
• Mount the jack on the carriage in reverse order to disassembly (step 1). Tighten the four hex screws (A, Fig. 1) with a tightening torque of 85 ±5 Nm to fix the jack. • For all carriage variants, note that the collar of the carriage rollers or the entire carriage in particular must be able to move freely over the entire pit length.
Page 18
• For carriage variants Z, adjust the deflector rollers to the pit width and fix them in place by hand-tightening the cylinder screws (C). The carriage rollers must run securely on the rails over the entire pit length. BA551501-en...

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 interval must be reduced accordingly. •...
Refilling with Hydraulic Fluid For measuring and refilling, the piston rod must be fully retracted and the siphon must be disconnected from the air or power supply. The oil level must cover the oil sight glass at least halfway. If no oil is visible on the sight glass, hydraulic oil must be topped up.
Maintenance by the Operator • The jack must be extended to full lifting height at least once a week and pumped through a few times with the lowering spindle closed. This will au- tomatically bleed it and remove the accumulated leakage oil. •...
