YOU are responsible for the SAFE use and maintenance of your equipment.
YOU must ensure that you and anyone else who is going to work around the
equipment understands all procedures and related SAFETY information
contained in this manual.
Remember, YOU are the key to safety. Good safety practices not only protect
you, but also the people around you. Make these practices a working part of your
safety program.
Important: Below are general instructions that apply to all safety practices. Any instructions
specific to a certain safety practice (e.g., Operational Safety), can be found in the
appropriate section. Always read the complete instructional sections and not just
these safety summaries before doing anything with the equipment.
• It is the equipment owner, operator, and maintenance personnel's responsi-
bility to read and understand ALL safety instructions, safety decals, and man-
uals and follow them when assembling, operating, or maintaining the
equipment. All accidents can be avoided.
• Equipment owners must give instructions and review the information initially
and annually with all personnel before allowing them to operate this product.
Untrained users/operators expose themselves and bystanders to possible
serious injury or death.
• Use this equipment for its intended purposes only.
• Do not modify the equipment in any way without written permission from the
manufacturer. Unauthorized modification may impair the function and/or
safety, and could affect the life of the equipment. Any unauthorized modifica-
tion of the equipment voids the warranty.
• Do not allow any unauthorized person in the work area.
2.2. ASSEMBLY SAFETY
• Read and understand the assembly instructions to get to know the sub-
assemblies and hardware that make up the equipment before proceeding to
assemble the product.
• Do not take chances with safety. The components are large, heavy, and can
be hard to handle. Always use the proper tools, stands, jacks, and hoists for
the job.
• Always have two or more people assembling the equipment. Because of the
weight, do not attempt assembly alone.
