WARNING !
Only authorized personnel should perform inspection or
maintenance and service procedures. Unauthorized personnel
attempting these procedures do so at the risk of personal injury or
death.
DANGER !
Failure to properly adhere to lift blocking procedures is to risk the
sudden and uncontrolled descent of the lift during maintenance or
inspection. A falling lift can cause severe injury or death.
LIFT BLOCKING PROCEDURE – (Reference Figures: 2A & 2B)
This procedure describes the only factory-approved method of working under a lift. Follow
these instructions EVERY time you plan to reach or crawl beneath the lift to
perform service or maintenance – no matter how momentary that might be.
If the factory-provided maintenance device is damaged or missing, stop immediately and
consult the factory for assistance. The manufacturer is not liable for your failure to use the
approved maintenance devices and procedures that have been provided.
1. All loads must be removed from the lift prior to engaging the maintenance device.
The maintenance device is designed to support an unloaded lift only. Failure to
remove the load from the lift prior to blocking could cause the failure of the
maintenance device and allow the lift to fall unexpectedly. This can result in
personal injury or death, or permanent damage to the maintenance device and/or
the lift.
2. Raise the lift to its fully raised position. If you do not, the maintenance device may
not be able to be placed properly in its designed blocking position.
3. Locate and engage all maintenance devices.
a. Flip-over maintenance locks are permanently welded on the side the base
frame on the roller end of the lift base frame. Both locks must be flipped over
and resting inside the base frame and thus blocking the path of the base
rollers. (See Figure 9A).
