BMW 7 Series: Positioning Of Multitrailer Hood For Maintenance And Repair Work

IMPORTANT: At least two persons are needed to install and remove the hood from the platform.

Before installing and removing the hood, secure the BMW multitrailer and the entire combination against rolling. For this purpose, use the parking brake and the chocks of the BMW multitrailer.

The hood can also be set up and lowered with the aid of the universal lift available from BMW in conjunction with the roof racks and the hood adapter.

Under no circumstances should work of any kind be carried out below the suspended hood.

For maintenance and repair work, raise the hood using a lifting platform. Twin-column lifting platforms, body lifting platforms and twin-stamp underfloor platforms are suitable. The seating plates and areas of the lifting platform must be adjustable according to the dimensions of Fig. 167.

The lifting platform must conform to the relevant legal provisions of the accident prevention regulations and be serviced as specified. Comply with the lifting platform operating instructions, in particular the safety instructions and the carrying capacity.

Make sure you adhere to the BMW-recommended work area of 5 x 7 m and to an escape route of 0.6 m between two lifting platforms.

Please comply with the following instructions before raising the hood:

  • Raise only when it is unloaded;
  • Ensure sufficient clearance between the seating plates/seating areas and the GFP edge of the hood;
  • The hood must always be positioned in the middle of the lifting platform.

IMPORTANT: The hood may only be raised at the pin (1). Under no circumstances may the hood be raised at the GFP edge of the hood (2). See Fig. 168. Exclusively for removal of pin (1), raise the hood in the GFP area.
