LIFT BLOCKING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 devices are 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
devices. These devices are 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 devices and allow the lift to fall unexpectedly. This can result in
personal injury or death.
2. Raise the lift to its fully raised position. If you do not, the maintenance devices
may not be able to be placed properly in their designed blocking position.
3. The lift will be provided with either two (2) swing-down maintenance locks or two
(2) maintenance pins (depending on capacity if the lift) – both style stored on the
outside of the base frame. Both devices must be securely placed inside the base
frame to properly block open the roller path of the lift (See Figure 10).
4. Lower the lift platform until until the leg rollers make contact with both
maintenance devices. Re-check to ensure that both devices are fully and
properly engaged with the leg rollers. If both left and right maintenance devices
are not fully engaged the lift could fall unexpectedly.
