6 SAFETY
6.1 Introduction
The LB has been designed and built in compliance with European Directives and
the unified European regulations regarding human and environmental safety.
In fact, where possible, the hazards have been eliminated during the design
stage; where not possible they have been limited and/or any residual risks have
been highlighted.
If a situation arises which was not foreseen, and/or could not be foreseen, contact
GLOBAJIG Technical Services before proceeding.
6.2 Safety devices
The LB does not have guards. User safety is guaranteed by the components and
materials which ensure both functionality and user safety.
The control unit is protected by a structure.
Operations can only be performed on the unit by a specific operator and only
after authorization by the manufacturer.
Achieving the highest degree of safety possible presumes that the
recommendations found in this manual are followed to the letter, particularly
those regarding the following aspects:
 the personnel performing the activities are qualified, as outlined in the
pertinent paragraphs;
 the LB is used as rated, particularly in regard to maximum load and type of
vehicle the EVOLUTION can lift;
 the LB is only used with vehicles that are empty and have no persons on
board;
 no unauthorized persons are in the work area.
! ! DANGER ! !
Prior authorization from GLOBALJIG must be received before applying new
devices, or modifying the existing devices. Noncompliance with this point relieves
GLOBALJIG of any responsibility for the modifications made. Moreover, working
under vehicles positioned on the LB is strictly forbidden.
