Important information Z 2500-130/150 Repainting IMPORTANT Piston rods and cylinder covers must not be painted. Among other things, this can damage the cylinder gaskets. Boots, hydraulic hoses and cables may not be coated/painted as the solvent in the paint can damage the hoses and cables and impair durability.
Connection of third-party equipment is forbidden WARNING! Connecting third-party equipment (electric or hydraulic) to Zepro tail lifts is forbidden. Connecting third- party equipment could interfere with the lift’s system and its safety functions. Risk of injury and damage. If it is necessary to install other equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s body instructions and use the attachment features on the vehicle.
