3.2 General workflow
After determining the vehicle data and aligning
the runways, the vehicle is driven onto the main
lift and secured against rolling.
The vehicle is raised to the desired height with
the main lift.
With optional rolling jack:
If a rolling jack is used, the manufacturerapproved pick-up points on the vehicle are selected and the matching supports are placed underneath. After adjusting the selector on the control unit and checking that the weight distribution
is correct, the vehicle is lifted by the rolling jack,
and the locking latch then locks. Only then can
work continue in the danger zone.
Main lifts and rolling jacks are fitted with a pneu-
matic locking mechanism.
If the lift lowers even slightly, for safety reasons it
automatically moves into the latch bar (locking
latch).
After completion of the work, the vehicle is low-
ered again to the ground and driven off.

● Rolling jack: Lowers both runways onto the
toothed lock bars (ratchets).
Keep button pressed until both runways lock
securely into the latch bars.
6 DOWN button in the danger zone below 120
mm
● For main lifts or rolling jacks.
Only functions after the 120 mm automatic
shut-off has reacted to DOWN (4). The runways can then be lowered completely if both
buttons (5) and (6) are pressed at the same
time. A buzzer sounds throughout the entire
lowering process.
7 Buzzer
Acoustic alarm. Sounds:
● When the main lift is being lowered < 120
mm (Foot protection)
● When the rolling jack is being lowered (hand
and finger protection).
● When troubleshooting (lifting/lowering using
the override switch, for height equalizing or
during emergency manual lowering).
8 Lockable main switch
"ON“ setting: Post lift ready for use.
"OFF“ setting: Post lift out of use. The mains
voltage is still present inside the control box.
Switching off (OFF) immediately stops any
movement of the post lift (= emergency stop)..

4. Operation
Rev.D 2013_03_en
DANGER
Risk of injury when lowering the
load onto objects below the lift or
the vehicle. Vehicle may topple
over.
Before lowering, you must remove all objects
from underneath the lift. This applies in particular to chassis stands and auxiliary jacks.
Always monitor the lift and vehicle carefully
when lifting or lowering.
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury if load is incorrectly distributed on both rolling
jacks. Vehicle may topple over.
Check that axle loads and weight distribution
are correct in accordance with Chapter 1.3.
Secure the load with adequately sized chassis
stands.
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury in the event of
malfunction or damaged parts.
Shut down post lift. To do so, set the main
switch to "OFF“and lock it with a padlock.
Consult a competent person.

4. Operation
4.1 Emergency stop
1. To perform an emergency stop, set the main
switch to OFF ("OFF“setting). The main lift or
the rolling jack stops immediately.
4.2 Switch the machine on
1. Switch on the power supply with the main switch
("ON“setting).
2. Check the operational status of the main lift and
the rolling jack.
3. Check the functionality of the control buttons.
4. Check the functionality of the buzzer. To do so
raise the runways slightly from the bottom position and lower again. A buzzer must sound
when lowering.
5. Lower the main lift (including drive-on ramps)
rolling jack completely.
6. Keep work area and runways clean (no objects
lying around, no grease, no oil).
When working with the post lift, make sure
you follow the instructions listed in Chapter 2. Safety.
4.3 Determine the vehicle data
1. Determine the weight details and the vehicle
height (see vehicle license).
Check the vehicle center of gravity, check the
load and body. Check the permitted weight
distribution on the lift.
2. Compare details with the nominal data of the lift.
3. Determine the approved pick-up points accord-
ing to the manufacturers specifications.
4. If the vehicle data is not available, ask the su-
pervisor.

DANGER
Risk of injury in the post lift zone.
Do not put people at risk when the lift or rolling
jack moves.
Always monitor the danger zones when lifting
or lowering.
No-one must stand in the traffic zone of the lift.
WARNING
Danger of crushing and shearing of
limbs (foot, toe, finger etc.). Possible uncontrolled movement when
lowering in the danger zone (below
the runways, cross beams) or when
moving the rolling jack scissors.
No parts of the body below the runways,cross
beams, or in the rolling jack scissors zone.
A buzzer sounds during the lowering process
in the danger zone < 120 mm.
Do not place objects below the lift or the rolling
jack.
ATTENTION
Damage to high vehicles when
LIFTING and LOWERING. Vehicles
which are too high may collide with
the ceiling.
Even when LOWERING, the main lift or rolling
jack briefly moves up (out of the latches).
Monitor the process constantly.
Make sure that the vehicle does not collide
with the ceiling.

4.4 Driving on
1. If required, set the adjustable runways (Fig. 17,
Pos R) according to the width of the vehicle. To
move them, loosen 2 runway bolts on each of
the two cross beams, move the runways in parallel, then tighten the bolts again.
2. Drive the vehicle onto the runways centered on
both sides (have someone guide you on). Make
sure that the wheels do not hang over the edges
of the runways.
3. Apply the vehicle handbrake, get out, and close
all vehicle doors.
4. Secure the vehicle with chocks against rolling.
4.5 Lifting/lowering
5. Place supports or pads at the 4 approved pick-
up points. Only use supports or pads approved
by the manufacturer. These must be correctly
and stably positioned.
6. Take safety measures to ensure that neither
people nor loads can collapse or fall and loads
cannot slip. Make sure the weight distribution is
correct.
The lifting or lowering process must be
carried out uniformly so that the load does not
change position.
If the vehicle does not remain stable, end all
movement immediately.
Then turn the main switch to "OFF“ and lock
it. The vehicle must now be lowered by an authorized competent person.
