1

Raise vehicle with four-column lift platform

 Secure vehicle with parking brake. Observe accident prevent regulations, trade association regulation (BGV) D29 for lifting platforms, and guidelines provided by lifting platform manufacturer.

 The vehicle must stand horizontally on its wheels since the play of the supporting joints (2) when installed and loaded must be checked.

2

Check rubber boots (1) of supporting joints (2).

 Check rubber boots (1) for cracks and damage, if required:

Check play at both supporting joints (2) by pushing on  gauge (01).

  The gauging (01) may only be used when the specified internal dimension of the signal edges is
89.9+0.1 mm. If worn or damaged, check the  gauge (01) using a digital caliper gauge. If the internal dimension deviates from the specified value, the  gauge (01) must not be used and a new gauge must be used.

 If the gauge  (01) can be pushed onto a supporting joint, the supporting joint must be replaced: 

 Picture A: The  gauging (01) can be pushed onto the supporting joint, the supporting joint must be replaced.

 Picture B: The  gauging (01) cannot be pushed onto the supporting joint, the supporting joint does not have to be replaced.

 If the  gauging (01) cannot be pushed onto the supporting joint, although on a subjective test the supporting joint shows play, the supporting joint is OK and does not have to be replaced. A play of up to 1 mm is permissible and safe from a technical point of view. Since the supporting joint self-centers when loaded, problems with noise and other functional problems do not occur despite the play.
