WARNING:

Mortal hazard!

Read and follow operating instructions for vehicle hoist.

Do not exceed approved load-carrying capacity and load distribution of vehicle hoist.

Weight compensation may be necessary due to the loading situation of the vehicle.

This also applies in the event of considerable removal of parts or conversions on the vehicle.

NOTE: The vehicle hoist must comply with the relevant statutory/country-specific accident prevention provision and be serviced according to the regulations.
IMPORTANT: Risk of damage!
Before driving onto a vehicle hoist, make sure there is sufficient ground clearance between the vehicle hoist and the vehicle.
The vehicle may only be raised with the vehicle hoist at the four jacking points.

Preliminary work needed: 

IMPORTANT: All four jacking points (1) must be available!
Never raise the vehicle without the jacking points (1)!
