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. Tel: +46 (0)10-459 05 04, E-mail: zeprotech@hiab.com. Always be ready to state the tail lift’s production number to guarantee you receive the correct information. The production number is given on the identification plate located on the tail lift frame.
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...
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.
95x50x3 mm, corresponding to a minimum surface moment of inertia of 78 cm around Image 7. Cross section of vehicle chassis’ frame beam the x-axis. See Image 7. If in doubt, contact ZEPRO for support. WARNING! The above dimensions are the minimum per- mitted for the installation of underrun protec- tion.
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 is dependent 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 dimen- sion must not be greater that the maximum lifting height of the lift. The platform must always be able to reach ground level. www.zepro.com...
When installing the lift, when the lift is operated repeatedly, the battery charger must be used between opera- tions to maintain the battery charge level. IMPORTANT! The battery charger must not be connected when operating the lift. Risk of material damage. www.zepro.com...
