Inspect before each use.
Do not use if broken, bent, cracked or damaged parts are
noted. Any jack that appears damaged in any way, or operates abnormally should
be removed from service
immediately
. If the jack has been or is suspected to have
been subjected to a shock load (a load dropped suddenly, unexpectedly upon it),
immediately discontinue use until the jack has been checked by an authorised ser-
vice centre / agent (contact distributor or manufacturer for list of authorised service
centres). It is recommended that an annual inspection be done by a qualified per-
son/s.
