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.

2.2 Transport plug

When the lift is installed, the transport plug in the

hydraulic unit must be removed and replaced with

the normal tank cap supplied with the hydraulic

unit.

NOTE.

2.3 Moving parts - free movement

When the nal inspection* takes place, the space

occupied by the moving cylinders must be cleared

and made safe. There is a risk of collision between

the cylinder and the following items: subframe, truck

chassis, beam for rear light (number plate) and the

chassis bracket of the lift (with a short overhang).

*The nal inspection must be carried out with the

platform at and tilted down 10°. The clearance

from the closest part of the cylinder must be at

least 40 mm.

m WARNING!

The platform must not be tilted down more than

10° from the horizontal.

equipment may interfere with the lift system and the safety functions. Risk of injury and damage. If it is

necessary to install other equipment, check the vehicle manufacturer’s body instructions and use the at-

tachment features on the vehicle.

m WARNING!

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.

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,

and adjust the position of the frame so they are in

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.

See the connection diagram "9.5 Lift without incli-

nometer" on page 45.

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.
