DANGER!
 
Risk of death working with lifting platforms!
Care must be taken while working with the lifting platform. Death may occur if a vehicle slips or topples off the lifting platform.
Position the support plates on the lifting platform support points at the same height.
Raise the vehicle a few inches first (wheels are still touching the ground) and check the position and fit of the support plates and lift points before raising the vehicle to the full lifted position.
Do not raise the vehicle off the lifting platform plates when components are being supported.
Centre the vehicle lengthwise and crosswise between the lifting platform columns.
Comply with all relevant statutory and accident prevention regulations.
 

WARNING!
 
Risk of injury and poisoning working with hydraulic fluid!
Risk of injury to skin or eyes from hydraulic fluid spraying out under pressure. When disengaging hydraulic lines without depressurising the system, dangerous skin or eye injuries can occur due to the very high pressures (in excess of 200 bar). If hydraulic fluid, particularly central hydraulic fluid (especially harmful), comes into contact with unprotected skin, this can cause damage to the skin.
If hydraulic fluid is swallowed, this can lead to poisoning symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, cramps and unconsciousness.
Wear protective gloves, protective clothing and eye protection.
Depressurise and drain the system if necessary when commencing work on hydraulic systems.
Never put hydraulic fluid into beverage containers.
Ensure sufficient ventilation, especially in the case of central hydraulic fluid.
Ensure that only authorised persons have access to hydraulic fluid.
Immediately seal disconnected leads and hoses and the connections to the assembly with blind plugs.
