Page 5 General Safety Instructions Introduction • These operating instructions must be read carefully and understood before work commences. • Please observe the specific safety information provided for the respective sections of the operating instructions. • Adhering to the procedures, sequences and corresponding safety instruc- tions is essential.
Page 6 What to Do in the Event of Defects or Malfunctions • If a malfunction occurs, e.g. uncontrolled raising and lowering or in the case of load-bearing components of the structure becoming deformed, immedi- ately lower the lift to the ground to its initial position or support the struc- ture.
Page 7 cepted rules of technology to be able to assess the safe working condition of the lift to be tested. • Qualified persons shall not only consider the current condition of the lift dur- ing the inspection. They must also be able to estimate how the lift and its structural parts will behave under operational conditions in the sequence and how wear, aging and the like will affect the safety of the lift.
Page 8 Description Service Life The lift has been tested according to DIN EN 1493 and designed for 22,000 lifting cycles under nominal load.

Page 12 Transport, Handling and Storage Safety Instructions WARNING • Wear personal protective equipment. • Standing under a suspended load is prohibited. • The transport and storage of packages is only permitted using original transport racks. Observe the max. stacking height. • Before removing the packaging straps, secure the packages against falling and maintain a safe distance.

[kg] 2x 800 2x 900 3.3.2 Centre of Gravity of the Packaged Lift Transport and Handling The transport and handling of the lift is only permitted using the original transport racks.
Page 14 Storage The packages must be stored in a covered location and protected from direct sunlight. They must be stored at low humidity and at a temperature between 0 °C and +40 °C. The lifts may only be stacked in the original transport racks, the max. stacking height is two transport racks (see also section “Transport and handling”).
Page 15 • The vehicle can be strapped to the lift if necessary. Shifts in the centre of gravity of the vehicle through installation/removal of heavy vehicle parts may otherwise lead to the vehicle sliding off. • After raising just off the floor, check that the vehicle has been picked up securely and that the support arms are locked correctly.
Page 16 Operation and Operating States The lift has been fitted with an intuitive operating system. Depending on the operating status, illuminated buttons provide a visual indication of the lift’s available options regarding direction of movement.

Page 17 Preparing the Lifting Operation 4.3.1 Establishing Operational Readiness MA STAR 3.5 A MA STAR 3.5 S / 5.5 /6.5 • The main switch must be at position 0. • The lift must be lowered all the way down. • The support arms must be pivoted completely away from the working area (start position, see diagram.).
Page 18 4.3.3 Positioning the Support Arms and Pick-up Plates MA STAR 3.5 A MA STAR 3.5 S / 5.5 / 6.5 • Swivel and extend the support arms to position the support discs under the pick-up points specified by the vehicle manufacturer. The load must rest centrally on the support plates.
Page 19 Raising and Lowering Cycles 4.4.1 Inspecting the Load Pick-up Points and Support Arm Locks WARNING Never remove the lock pins under full load! • Set the main switch to position 1. After an initial flashing of all three lights, the UP button is permanently lit. •...
Page 20 4.4.3 Continuing the Lifting Process • Continue the lifting process by pressing the UP button until the desired lift- ing height is reached. UP and DOWN buttons are lit. 4.4.4 Lowering Process • Before lowering the vehicle, remove tools, support blocks or similar obsta- cles from under the vehicle.
Page 21 Form-Fit Adapters NOTICE For the safe lifting of vehicles, it is recommeded to use form-fit adapters. Observe the applicable specifications of the vehicle manufacturers. Support Disc Raisers WARNING • Only one raiser may be used per support disc. If support disc raisers are combined, there is a risk of instability and thus a vehicle crash.
Page 22 Guide plate Threaded sleeve Support pin Wheel engaging fork Fastening screws M12x45 10.9 Fastening screw with washer NOTICE Lightly grease the sliding surfaces before mounting the wheel engaging supports. Screw the support disc all the way down (protruding at the bottom) and remove it.
Page 23 Referencing the Control System NOTICE To reference the control system, it is recommended to lower the lift completely after every 20 lifting cycles. The unlit DOWN button indicates that the home position has been reached. 4.10 Manual Lowering WARNING Only for trained personnel! The lift must not be put back into operation until the fault has been eliminated.
Page 24 Troubleshooting Malfunctions are interruptions in the workflow, such as may occur due to inattention or incorrect operation. Malfunctions can generally be eliminated without tools, except for the disassembly of covers. When troubleshooting, proceed with caution. The safety instructions for operating the system apply.

Page 25 Display Diagnostics Remedy Permissible tolerance exceeded. Red fault indicator light is Notify service team. Signal sound when pressing permanently on. the UP or DOWN button: Support nut breakage. Sensor malfunction. UP and DOWN buttons flash Red fault indicator light Notify service team. when button is pressed: flashes continuously.
Page 26 Inspection Daily before Starting Work To ensure the safety of the system during operation, the visual and functional checks listed below must be performed daily before starting work or beginning a shift. Cables and Actuators Cables must not show any visible damage. Cables with visible pinch points, damaged sheathing, kinks or bends must be replaced immediately with new ones.
Page 27 Function of the Support Arm Lock Locking pin Tooth segments The support arm lock prevents the vehicle from moving horizontally when raised. To this end, toothed segments are attached to the pivot bearing of the support arms, which allow free movement of the support arms in the lower end position and automatically engage with each other when lifted.
Page 28 Load Supports Rubber pad Support plate with thread Support plates take over the load and hold this in position. The rubber pad yields selectively under load. This protects the vehicle's mounting point and prevents the vehicle from slipping. If the rubber pad is damaged, this function can no longer be performed safely.
Page 29 Servicing by the Operator Safety Instructions WARNING • The relevant health and safety regulations must be observed. • Wear personal protective equipment. • Repairs, maintenance and set-up work should only be carried out when the machinery is stationary and unloaded. The unit must be disconnected from the power supply and secured against being switched on again.
Page 30 7.2.2 Lubricating the Spindle and the Load Nut Oil pan Lubrication felt Torx screw Spindle NOTICE If there is dirt in the oil pan, this can impair the running characteristics of the lift! The oil pan in the lifting carriage must always be filled so that there is a perma- nent lubricating film on the spindle and thermal load is avoided.
Page 31 7.2.3 Greasing the Slide Tracks Lubricate the raceways of the sliding blocks at least every 6 months. To do so, move the lifting carriage to the lowest position. Then loosen and remove the spindle cover on the head plate. Lightly grease all slider tracks over the entire length with a brush.
Page 32 7.2.5 Lubricating the Thread of the Support Discs Check the threads of the support discs for free movement at least every 6 months and lightly oil if necessary. 7.2.6 Lubricating the Spindle Bearing (MA STAR 5.5 / 6.5 only) Lubricate the upper spindle bearing at least once a year. Lower the lifting carriage to bottom position;...

Page 34 (medium strength). Extended Warranty MAHA grants the operator of the lift a warranty on the functionality of the spindle drive beyond the statutory warranty period. This warranty covers wear of the support nut, if it exceeds 2 mm, and wear on the lifting screw, if it restricts / hinders / prevents the operation of the lift.
