General Information
4.1
Before Operation
REMEMBER:
It is the fleet ma
nager’s responsibility to educate the operator on the liftgate and its intended use. The opera-
tor’s attention should be drawn to the permitted load limits and an understanding of the operation to ensure the
safety throughout the operation.
ONE-MAN OPERATION:
Never l
et an “outsider” operate the liftgate while you are handling the cargo.
A “misunderstanding” can result in serious personal injury.
In the interest of safety, it is important that all operating personnel properly understand the functions of the
liftgate, possible hazards, dangers, the load limits and load positioning for that specific unit.
4.2
Liftgate Function and Useage Information
Before the operator uses the liftgate, they should be thoroughly familiar with the liftgate functions and usage
according to the following:
1. Improper operation of this lift can result in serious personal injury. Do not operate unless you have been
properly instructed, have read and are familiar with the operating instructions. If you do not have a copy of the
instructions please obtain them from your employer, distributor, or lessor as appropriate before you attempt to
operate the lift.
2. Be certain the vehicle is properly and securely stopped before using the lift.
3. Always inspect this lift for maintenance or damage before using it. If there are signs of improper mainte-
nance, damage to vital parts or a slippery platform surface, do not use the lift. Do not attempt your own repairs
unless you are specifically trained.
4. Do not overload. See the Rating Label on the unit for the rated load. Remember that this limit applies to both
raising and lowering operations.
5. Each load should be placed in a stable position as near as possible to the body of the truck/trailer.
6. Never stand in, move through or allow anyone else to stand in or move through the area in which the lift op-
erates, including that area in which a load might fall.
7. This liftgate is intended for loading and unloading of cargo only.
DO NOT
use this liftgate for anything but its
intended use. This is not a passenger lift. Do not ride the lift with unstable loads or in such a manner that a
failure would endanger you. The lift is not equipped with a back-up system to prevent falling cargo in the event
of a failure.
The maximum loads must be observed and followed!
