1.3 CE marking
Z-Lyften tail lifts on sale on the European market have been CE marked (CE stands for Conformité Européenne)
since 1/1/1995. The manufacturer guarantees that the product complies with the EU Machinery Directive.
The aim of the Machinery Directive is to increase the safety of products throughout Europe.
There are some basic general rules that must be followed before Z-Lyften products are installed.
Follow the installation instructions. If it is not possible to follow the installation instructions or if changes must
be made, the changes must be approved by the manufacturer. This is a consequence of CE marking rules. The
manufacturer is unable to certify compliance with the Machinery Directive if the product is subsequently changed
without its knowledge or approval. To retain a valid CE marking for the product, it is essential to contact Z-Lyften.
Welding is not necessary except where recommended by the manufacturer.
To improve safety we supply decals for the lift that are easy to understand regardless of the language. Make
sure these decals are attached so that the information they contain can be seen by the lift operator.
Position control devices so that the operator is in the safest possible location and has a clear view of the load,
the tail lift and the surrounding area. Follow the driver’s instruction manual when using the control device and
its functions.

1.4 Hydraulic uid
A tail lift must work just as well in tropical heat as in the Arctic cold. The heat is no problem for the uid. Cold,
on the other hand, is a big challenge for hydraulic uid. That is why Z-Lyften chose a hydraulic fuel that can
cope with all these conditions. Our hydraulic uid (product no. 21963, 1 litre) is made of highly rened mineral
oil. The anti-wear additives are zinc-free and provide excellent wear protection.
The special temperature properties of the hydraulic uid and the high viscosity index mean that the hydraulic
system can be started in cold weather and runs reliably in uctuating operating temperatures. Our hydraulic
uid also provides excellent corrosion protection for the hydraulic system.
We also offer a biodegradable hydraulic fluid (environmental fluid) as an option (product no. 22235,
1 litre) made of a synthetic base oil called polyalphaolefin, which is biodegradable. This base oil
has outstanding properties at low and high temperatures. The fluid stays liquid down to tempera-
tures as low as -50°C. Oxidation stability is very good, resulting in a long service life with longer re-
placement intervals. The fluid is easy to pump thanks to good filtering and air separation properties
and low density. This minimises the risk of cavitation and foaming. Contact us for more information.
So-called ATF uid or HF uid cannot be used with Z-Lyften. These uids aect the rubber in the gaskets
and seals and shorten service life.

13www.zepro.com
4 Calculang the installed dimensions
For easier installation it is useful to calculate and specify the necessary dimensions in advance. Determine the
C dimension rst, then obtain the other dimensions from the relevant table. You should try to place the lift as
high as possible within the specied C dimension in the table.
4.1 C dimension
The C dimension is the distance between the top of the support frame and the vehicle oor level. This dimen-
sion governs how far the lift needs to be installed under the vehicle body (D dimension) and the space there
will be between the lift arms in the upper position and the vehicle oor level (A dimension).
4.2 D dimension
The D dimension is the space the lift needs, measured from the rear edge of the body to the front edge of the
support frame (in the direction of the vehicle). Once the C dimension is determined, the D dimension can be
obtained from the table.
4.3 A dimension
The A dimension is the space provided for the rear beam, i.e. the space there will be between the lift arms and
the vehicle oor with the lift in the raised position. The A dimension depends on the C dimension.
4.4 H dimension
The H dimension is the height from the ground (unloaded) to the vehicle oor level. The H dimension must not
be greater that the maximum lifting height of the lift. The platform must always be able to reach ground level.

5 Rear beam cut-outs
It is often necessary to create cut outs in the rear beam to provide space for the platform arms when the plat-
form is in the upper position. The size of the cut outs depends on the calculated installed dimension “A”, see
illustration below.
1. Measure and mark the location and depth of the cut outs on the rear beam. The two cut outs must be
centred on the rear beam, i.e. both cut outs must be an equal distance from the mid-point of the beam.
2. Cut along the markings.
3. Grind away any burrs or sharp edges.

m WARNING!
6.1 Support frame
1. Measure and mark the midpoint of the rear beam of the
vehicle. See Image 11.
2. Bolt or spot-weld the mounting jig
to the rear beam,
so that both
mid-points are aligned. See Image 12
.
3. Position the support frame under the vehicle chassis.
4. Temporarily connect the control card to enable the
lift functions, see section "7 Temporary operation
of lift" on page 37.
5. Raise the lift arms to the highest position.
6. Attach the lift arms to the eye of the jig. Use the
steel platform’s normal bolts.
7. The support frame should be positioned as high as
possible within the specied C dimension. Adjust
the frame to the ideal height under the chassis. A
car jack is useful. The frame must be positioned
parallel with the oor of the vehicle body and must
not be in contact with the vehicle chassis; there
must be a few millimetres of play. If necessary
adjust the angle of the arms by carefully operat-
ing the lift.
8. Install the brackets on the support frame so that its
opening is facing towards the front of the vehicle,

6.2 Control power cable
See also the vehicle manufacturer’s electrical
instructions.
NOTE.
1. If the control power cable is not pre-routed, e.g.
VDHH, route the control power cable from the
driver’s cabin to the lift.
The cable must be protected with rubber grommets
when it passes through beams or walls. If there are
quick connectors, make sure they are eectively
protected from moisture and dirt.
NOTE.
2. Connect the control power cable to the cabin switch
(CS) on the vehicle instrument panel. Connect to
the on-board electrical system via a 10 A (24 V),
15 A (12 V) fuse according the customer’s wishes.

6.3 Control devices
If the vehicle is equipped with two-handed grip this
means that the operator must use both hands to be
able to operate the loading platform, while this protects
the operator from pinch point injuries.
1. Fit the control devices in the desired locations.
They must be positioned so that the operator is in
the safest possible location and has a clear view
of the load, the tail lift and the surrounding area.
2. The distance between the vehicle’s rear edge
and the centre of the controllers must be 300-
600 mm. The distance between the controllers
must be at least 260 mm. See illustration 23
.
All cable inlets must be pointing downwards.
NOTE.
3. The control device’s cable is connected to the
control card.
Image 19. Installing control de-
vice with two-handed grip.
A controller must always be tted on the side that
is facing away from trac in motion. If there is a
need for a controller on the opposite side, a fur-
ther controller must therefore be tted. Fitting on
the other side involves increased risk of injury.
