6.1.
Safety instructions for operating the product
• Keep the work area well illuminated.
• Make sure that the support legs are completely down and make a firm contact with
the ground.
• When the safety trestle is in use make sure that no persons are in the vicinity of the
safety trestle or walk underneath the trailer to prevent serious injuries.
• Do not place the safety trestle directly against the trailer but keep a margin of
± 10 cm (± 4 inches).
• Consult the manual of the truck and/or trailer to know where to place the safety
trestle.
• A damaged or malfunctioning product must never be used. If damage or
malfunctions are discovered during pre-operation inspection or function tests,
the product must be tagged and removed from service.
• Use the safety trestle only on hard level surfaces. Uneven or sloped surfaces create
dangerous working conditions and dangerously obstruct the function of the safety
trestle.
• Disconnect the pressure line between the truck and the trailer so that the brakes
are on the rear wheels.
• Only when the person who has safely placed the safety trestle gives the sign that
the installation has been completed, the driver can safely remove the truck.
• Others who are not working on the vehicle must keep a minimum distance of 0.5 m
from the vehicle.

possible, but leave a margin of ± 10 cm (± 4 inches).
