1.4 Training
The lift can be used by qualified staff, who have undergone training provided by the seller.
Caution: The used oil should be disposed of according to the local law.
1.5 Warning signs

We put some warning signs, with hints concerning safe operation of the lift. Read them thoroughly. Make
sure to keep them clean. Replace if they get damaged in any way.

2. General description of the lift

This two-post lift consists of columns, cylinders, power source, as well as arms. It is powered by an
electrohydraulic system. The pump pushes hydraulic oil to the cylinders, moving the pistons. The piston moves
the chain that rises both the carriage and the lift’s arms. There are special ratchet devices that get activated
when the lift’s arms are risen. Thanks to that, they would not fall, even if the hydraulic system breaks down.
