Special care should be exercised in the handling, storage and installation of Kaspar Ranch Hand equipment.
The actual weight of each piece of equipment will vary depending on style and model. The weight of the equipment is
sufficient in volume to warrant special care, assistance and in some instances, the use of mechanical equipment during
the transfer and installation of the equipment.
Do not assume a position directly under the equipment during installation. Be sure the equipment has been connected
and stabilized during installation to prevent falling or shifting of positions.
Periodically check tightness of bolts to make sure they are tight, and unlikely to fail.
