THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting devices are subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intel-
ligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation of the equipment who are careful,
competent, trained and qualified in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads
caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for
which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic fluid or unstable
due to loose or missing components. Make corrections before using.
• Use only on a hard level surface capable of supporting load and free from obstructions so the jack is free to reposition itself during
lifting and lowering operations.
• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• User and bystanders must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity. Do not shock load.
•
This is a lifting device only. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with jack stands capable of sustaining the load
before working on the vehicle.
• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable before working on vehicle.
• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.
• Do not use any materials that may serve as risers, spacers or extenders between the stock lifting saddle and the load.
• Do not use any adaptors that replace the stock lifting saddle unless approved or supplied by the jack manufacturer.
• Do not use (or modify) this product for any other purpose than that for which it was designed without consulting the manufacturer's
authorized representative.
• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
