7.2 Cleaning the lift
A regular and expert clean helps retain the value of the
lift.
Additionally, it can also be a pre-requisite for the pres-
ervation of guarantee claims for any eventual corrosion
damage.
The best protection for the lift is regular removal of con-
taminants of any kind.
This includes above all:
• De-icing salt
• Sand, pebbles, earth
• Industrial dust of all types
• Water, also in connection with other environmental in-
fluences
• Aggressive deposits of all types
• Permanent humidity due to insufficient ventilation
The frequency of lift cleaning depends, among other
things on the frequency of use, of lift handling, of work-
shop cleanliness, and the location of the lift. Furthermore,
the degree of contamination depends on the time of year,
the weather conditions and workshop ventilation. Under
adverse circumstances, weekly lift cleaning might be re-
quired, however a monthly cleaning may be sufficient.
Do not use and aggressive and abrasive materials for
cleaning, rather use mild cleaners, e.g. a commercially
available detergent and lukewarm water.
• For cleaning, do not use high pressure washers (e.g.
steam cleaners).
• Carefully remove all contamination with a sponge, or if
required with a brush.
• Make sure that there is no residue of the cleaner on the
lift.
• Dry the lift with a cloth and spray it with a spray wax
or oil.
• Moving parts (bolts, bearing zones) are to be lubricat-
ed or oiled according to instructions.
• When cleaning the workshop floor ensure that no ag-
gressive cleaning materials come into contact with lift
surfaces. Permanent contact with any kind of liquid is
prohibited.
7.3 Checking the stability of the lift
Retighten nuts of the approved fastening anchors to
the torques specified by the manufacturer using a pre-
set torque wrench (Torque details are found on the data
sheet of the corresponding anchor manufacturer).

Assembly and commissioning
8.1 Set up guidelines
• Lift set up is done by trained manufacturer personnel or
a contract partner. Set up is to be done according to the
assembly instructions.
• A standard lift may not be set up in explosion endan-
gered spaces or wash halls.
• Before setting up, ensure or make a sufficient founda-
tion.
• A level set up space is to be done in all cases, where
open air and enclosed foundations where frost is ex-
pected, must have a frost-depth thickness.
• An
on-site
standard
3 ~/N + PE, 400 V, 50 Hz is to be provided. The sup-
ply is to be secured according to VDE0100 with 16 am-
pere fuses. The minimum line cross-section is 2.5 mm².
• The lines can be fed through the cross-beams. In all cas-
es, prevent kinks or tensional loads on the lines.
• After successful lift installation and before first com-
missioning, the operating company must have the lift
grounding conductors inspected on-site according to
IEC regulation (60364-6-61). An insulation resistance
test is also recommended.
8.1.1 Set up and anchoring the lift
i
On-site provision of suitable auxiliary materials (e.g.
forklifts, crane, etc.) are to be made available for un-
loading the lift and for assembly.
Before setting up the lift, the operating company must en-
sure or make a sufficient foundation. For this, a normal
reinforced concrete floor with a value of a min. C20/25
is required. The minimum foundation thickness (without
screed and tiles) is to be taken from the foundation plan
in this document.
In our plans, we inform of the minimum specifications
for the foundation, however local conditions (e.g. under-
ground, floor quality, etc.) are outside of our responsibili-
ty. In special cases, the design of the installation location
must be individually specified by planning architects and
statics experts. Open air foundations must be made to
frost depth.
The operating company of the lift is solely responsible for
the set up location.
If the lift is to be assembled on an existing concrete floor,
cement quality and strength are to be checked before-
hand. In case of doubt, make a test bore and insert an
anchor. Then, tighten the anchor to the manufacturer
recommended torque. After inspection within the anchor
zone of influence (200 mm diameter) (see technical data
sheet of the anchor manufacturer), if there is visible dam-
age (hairline cracks, cracks or similar), or if the required
torque cannot be applied then the set up location is un-
suitable.
