Hazard

The inlet for the hydraulic hose is sharp and can damage the hose. Moreover, the pressure relief valve can be adjusted inadvertently and lead to excessive pressure of the hydraulic system of the lift. This can lead to the escape of hydraulic fluid under high pressure, causing injuries to a person close the lift. Leakage of hydraulic fluid or incorrect use of the adjustable choke valve will result in a fast descend of the lift, causing injuries to a person close to or underneath the lift. The product does not comply with the requirements of the Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 1493.
