designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices.
When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance,
riggers or movers). Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's
manual before using.

Latest revision manual available on vendor's website.
• Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the
LIFT TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.
• Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is fully
engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
• Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
• Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at
center versus edge of extended platform.
• Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on
edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).
• Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt option to
main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load objects are
designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care not to push
or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for final minor adjustment when needed.
• Do not stand under overhanging load.
• Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
• Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)
