NOTE refers to additional information that may help the reader understand, or perform, a given operation. Technical support If technical support is needed, please contact ZEPRO. Phone: +46 (0)10-459 05 04, Email: zeprotech@hiab.com. Always be ready to state the production number of the tail lift to guarantee you receive the correct information.
Properly assembled, this product meets relevant requirements according to EN 1756-1:2001 + A1:2008. Hydraulic oil If the hydraulic oil needs to be replenished, only the oil recommended by ZEPRO is permitted to be used. Hydraulic systems with hydraulic oil tanks without labelling are only permitted to be filled with highly refined mineral oil (art. no. 21963, 1 litre).
When the lift is operated repeatedly without starting or using the vehicle during lift installation or carrying out service and repairs, use the battery charger between operations to maintain battery charge. IMPORTANT The battery charger must be disconnected when operating the lift. Risk of material damage. www.zepro.com...
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.
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.
Image 7. Cross section of vehi- inertia of 306 cm around the x-axis. See Image 7. If cle chassis frame beam in doubt, contact ZEPRO for support. WARNING! 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.
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...

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...
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.
