  • Page 8: Safety Rules

    Image 6. The platform may not be tilted down more than 10º from the horizontal 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 at- tachment features on the vehicle.
  • Page 9: Connection Of Third-Party Equipment Is Forbidden

    WARNING! You must not attach third-party equipment (electric or hydraulic) to Zepro tail lifts. Attaching third-party equipment may interfere with the lift system and its safety functions. Risk of personal injury and material damage. If necessary to install other equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s body instructions and use the attachment options on the vehicle.

The dimensions above are the minimum permitted for the installation of underrun protection. The strength requirements for mounting the tail lift usually require larger dimensions.
  • Page 11: Calculating The Installed Dimensions

    The A dimension is the space provided for the rear member, i.e. the space there will be between the lift arm and the vehicle floor with the lift in the raised position. The A dimension depends on the C dimension 3.3.4 H dimension The H dimension is the height from the ground (unloaded) to the vehicle floor level. The H dimension must not be greater than the maximum lifting height of the lift. The platform must always be able to reach ground level. www.zepro.com...

  • Page 35: Transport Lock

    156 ±5 Electric hose rupture valves serve as locks for the platform. The lock opens automatically if the down function is actuated from the controller. The valves are check valves that let fluid into the cylinders but not out before they are actuated by the flow from the lowering valve. The platform is therefore hydrauli- cally locked during transport. www.zepro.com...
  • Page 36: Controllers

    The cable must be protected by rubber grommets when it passes through beams or walls. Cables must be installed sufficiently far from, or be protected against, sharp edges so they cannot chafe or otherwise sustain damage that could lead to a short-circuit and cable fires. Take care not to bend cables with too tight a radius as this can cause damage. 300-600 mm. Image 52. Installing controllers WARNING! The primary controller must always be fitted on the side that is facing away from moving traffic. Fitting in any other way involves increased risk of injury. Image 53.
