  • Page 6: Identification

    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).
  • Page 7: Repainting

    Important information ZDK 250 135/155 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.
  • Page 8: Safety Rules

    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.

  • Page 11: Calculating The Installed Dimensions

    Before installation ZDK 250 135/155 Calculating the installed dimensions For ease of installation it is best to calculate and specify the necessary dimensions in advance. Determine the C dimension first, then obtain the other dimensions from the relevant table. Try to place the lift as high as possible within the C dimension specified in the table. 3.3.1 C dimension The C dimension is the distance between the top of the support frame and the vehicle floor level. This dimen- sion determines the space the lift needs beneath the body (dimension D) and the distance from the lift arms in their upper position to vehicle floor level (dimension A).
