7. Operation
7.1 Basic selection of cylinder size
Before use, you should check that the lifting force of the cylinder(s) used is at least 25%
higher than the maximum loading expected in the least favourable case.
We recommend that you select the stroke of the piston to leave a reserve stroke of approx.
30%. The system stability can thus be increased in marginal cases.
WARNING / CAUTION!
The load must NEVER exceed the lifting force of the cylinder!
7.2 Positioning
You must always observe the following when positioning the cylinder:
- Non-slip and flat surface underneath, so that the entire cylinder base area is supported.
If there is any doubt about the load bearing capacity of the ground you should use suitable
plates made from wood or metal to increase the area of support.
CAUTION / PLEASE NOTE!
Prior to installing the cylinders, the load to be lifted must be secured against
slipping as prescribed in the respective applicable guidelines and regulations.
CAUTION!
Hydraulic fluids may produce a lubricating film on the floor.
