5.4 SAFETY DEVICES

WARNING: The following safety devices shall by no means be tampered with or disabled;
they shall also be always kept in top working conditions:
• The foot guards applied to the arms (14, Fig. 1) prevent the crushing of operator's feet during
the arm lowering final stage.
•
Voltage warning light (21, Fig. 1): its lighting means that access to the lift is not allowed.
Arm anti-rotation mechanical safety locks with automatic engagement (15, Fig. 1): prevent
•
the rotation of the lifting arms when the carriage is lifted.
•
Carriage fall-preventing safety mechanical devices (1, Fig. 17): they prevent the carriages from
lowering in the event of hydraulic circuit blow-by or failure of mechanical lifting parts.
•
Safety valves (8 hydraulic diagram): they prevent the lowering of the carriages in case of
sudden pressure drop in the hydraulic system.
•
Misalignment safety valve (7, hydraulic diagram): it prevents the lowering of the P1 carriage in
case the P2 carriage is stuck.
•
FC2 limit switch (Fig. 25): it prevents the lowering of the P2 carriage in case the P1 carriage
is stuck.
• Emergency Switch/Disconnector (19, fig. 1): if it is in «OFF» position, it locks the lift functioning.
• Low-voltage additional electric circuit: this circuit cannot originate any «electric shock».
Overhead safety shut-off system (16, Fig. 1): stops the lift upward movement when the vehicle
•
is about to hit the overhead crossbeam.
• «Dead-man» control panel: all the lift functions require the presence of an operator.
