Cleaning and care of the lift
A regular and expert clean helps retain the value
of the lift.
Additionally, it can also be a pre-requisiste for the
preservation of guarantee claims for any eventual
corrosion damage.
The best protection for the lift is regular removal of
contaminants of any kind.
This includes above all:
• De-icing salt
• Sand, pebbles, earth, stone chips etc.
• Industrial dust of all types
• Water, also in connection with other environmen-
tal influences
• Aggressive deposits of all types
• Permanent humidity due to insufficient ventilation
• If fluid is sitting in the system grooves
i
The longer road dust, salt, and other aggressive
deposits remain caked onto the system, the more
damage they will have.
The frequency of lift cleaning depends, among oth-
er things on the frequency of use, of lift handling, of
workshop cleanliness, and the location of the lift.
Furthermore, the degree of contamination de-
pends on the time of year, the weather conditions
and workshop ventilation.
Under adverse circumstances, weekly lift cleaning
might be required, however a monthly cleaning
may be sufficient.
Do not use and aggressive and abrasive materials
for cleaning, rather use mild cleaners, e.g. a com-
mercially available detergent and luke warm wa-
ter.
Be sure that electric parts of the system, cables,
!
hoses, etc. do not come into contact with water.
• For cleaning, do not use high pressure washers
(e.g. steam cleaners).
• Carefully remove all contamination with a
sponge, or if required with a brush.
• Make sure that there is no residue of the cleaner
on the lift.
• Dry the lift with a cloth and spray it with a spray
wax or oil.
• Moving parts (bolts, bearing zones) are to be lu-
bricated or oiled according to instructions.
• When cleaning the workshop floor ensure that no
aggressive cleaning materials come into contact
with lift surfaces. Permanent contact with any
kind of liquid is prohibited. This is also true for the
fastening anchors.
Before switching on the main switch (15), care-
!
fully check that humidity has not penetrated
into powered components.

Assembly and commissioning
8.1
Set up guidelines
• Lift set up is done by trained manufacturer per-
sonnel or a contract partner. If the operating
company has appropriately trained assemblers,
the lift can also be set up by them. Set up is to be
done according to the assembly instructions.
• A standard lift may not be set up in explosion en-
dangered spaces or wash halls.
• Before setting up, verify that there is a sufficient
foundation or make it according to the guide-
lines in the foundation plan. The set up location
must be level and even. Foundations in open air
and spaces where winter storms or frost are to
be expected, must have a foundation to frost
depth.
• An on-site standard electrical connection of
3 ~/N + PE, 400 V, 50 Hz is to be provided.
The supply is to be secured according to VDE0100
with 16 ampere fuses. The minimum line cross-sec-
tion is 2.5 mm².
• To protect the electrical cable all cable conduits
are to be fitted with cable sleeves or flexible plas-
tic pipes.
• The lines can be fed through the cross-beams. In
all cases, prevent kinks or tensional loads on the
lines.
• After successful lift installation and before first
commissioning, the operating company must
have the lift grounding conductors inspected on-
site according to IEC regulation (60364-6-61). An
insulation resistance test is also recommended.
8.1.1 Set up and anchoring the lift
i
On-site provision of suitable auxiliary materials
(e.g. forklifts, crane, etc) are to be made avail-
able for unloading the lift and for assembly.
Before setting up the lift, the operating company
must ensure or make a sufficient foundation. For
this, a normal reinforced concrete floor with a value
of a min. C20/25 is required.
The minimum foundation thickness (without screed
and floor tiles) is to be taken from the foundation
plan in this document.
In our plans, we inform of the minimum specifica-
tions for the foundation, however local conditions
(e.g. underground, floor quality, etc.) are outside of
our responsibility.
In special cases, the design of the installation loca-
tion must be individually specified by planning ar-
chitects and statics experts.
Open air foundations must be made to frost depth.
i
The operating company of the lift is solely re-
sponsible for the set up location.
