THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
This product must only be used to support, not lift, the engine inside the vehicle compartment. Do not use this product for
any other purpose. The use of engine support tools are subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical
means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, 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.
