WARNING
Read this chapter carefully and completely since important
information for the safety of the operator or others in case of improper
use of the lift is included.
In the following text there are clear explanations regarding certain
situations of risk or danger that may arise during the operation or
maintenance of the lift, the safety device installed and the correct use
of such systems, residual risks and operative procedures to use
(general specific precautions to eliminate potential hazards).
Lifts are designed and built to lift vehicles and hold them in the
elevated position in an enclosed workshop. All other uses of the lifts
are unauthorized. In particular, the lifts are not suitable for:
-washing and re-spray work;
-creating raised platforms for personnel or lifting personnel.
-use as a press for crushing purposes;
-use as elevator;
-use as a lift jack for lifting vehicle bodies or changing wheels.
The manufacturer Velyen is not liable for any injury to persons or
damage to vehicles and other property caused by the incorrect and
unauthorized use of the lifts.
During lifting and lowering movements the operator must remain
in the control station.
The presence of persons inside the danger zone indicated is
strictly prohibited.
During operations persons are admitted to the area beneath the
vehicle only when the vehicle is already in the elevated position, when
the platforms are stationary, and when the mechanical safety devices
are firmly engaged.
Do not use the lift without protection devices or with the protection
devices inhibited.
Failure to comply with these regulations can cause serious injury to
persons, and irreparable damage to the lift and the vehicle.
