WARNING
To prevent serious bodily injury,
keep sparks, lighted matches,
and open flames away from the
top of the battery, because battery gas can explode.
Always follow all the manufacturers’ safety
recommendations when working around the truck’s
battery.
Take precautions to avoid sparks coming into
contact with the truck’s fuel tank, brake lines,
wooden floor, or other flammable components.
Sparks can cause an explosion of combustible
materials, resulting in serious injury or death.
Never secure the power cable to anything
which allows it to contact sharp edges, other
wiring, the fuel tank, fuel lines, brake lines, air
lines, exhaust system, or any other object that could
cause the power cable to wear or be damaged. A cut
battery cable can cause sparks resulting in loss of
vehicle control, serious injury, or even death.
Always weld or use a cutting
torch in a well ventilated area and,
if in an enclosed area, vent the
fumes to the outside. Breathing the smoke and fumes
can cause serious injury.
Tack welds must be strong enough to hold the
weight of the individual components being held
in place. Insufficient tack welds may not hold
the parts in place, resulting in possible bodily harm.
Always follow all State and Federal health and
safety laws and/or local regulations when using
a welder or cutting torch. Also, follow all
manufacturer’s safety guidelines. If other people are
present during the installation of the liftgate, make
sure they remain clear of the cutting area and are
shielded from view of any welding. This will prevent
serious eye injury from the bright light.
To avoid eye injury, always wear eye protection
with the proper lens to protect your eyes.
Failure to prevent the truck from moving
during the installation of the liftgate
could result in a serious crushing injury.
Do not work under the liftgate while it is
suspended from the lifting equipment. Failure
of the lifting equipment could cause serious
crushing injuries. Do not remove the lifting equipment
until the liftgate is completely welded onto the truck
frame.
CAUTION
To prevent personal injury, clean up any
spilled fluids immediately. To avoid
tripping, do not leave tools or
components laying around in the work area.
Anthony Liftgates recommends not riding the
liftgate, however, if the delivery operation
requires it, make sure your footing is stable
before raising or lowering platform. Always stand
away from the edge. When on the ground, always
stand clear of liftgate when it is operating.
Even though the Anthony Liftgate is easy to install,
the installation should be done with at least two
people.
Always use/set the truck’s parking brake before
operating the liftgate. Failure to follow this
recommendation can result in injury.
Do not place hands or feet in pinch points.
Do not place your feet under the platform.
Most accidents involving the operation,
maintenance, or repair of products made by
Anthony Liftgates occur because the installer/
owner/ operator failed to observe basic safety rules or
operating instructions.
To prevent injury, the liftgate and its related
components should only be installed by a qualified
installer. They should have knowledge and skill in
using lifting equipment and a cutting torch.
N ING
AR
To prevent possible injuries due to improper
operation, make sure all decals are attached to
the liftgate and/or truck and are legible at all
times.
Many liftgate models provide steps for drivers
as a convenience feature. When steps are
present, customer-supplied grab handles and
other ingress/egress items should be installed.
