SIGNAL WORDS
This manual uses SIGNAL WORDS to indicate the likelihood of personal injuries, as well as the probable
seriousness of those injuries, if the product is misused in the ways described. Other signal words call attention to
uses of the product likely cause property damage. The signal words used appear below along with the meaning of
each word:
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, WILL result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY. Use of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.
Identifies a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in DEATH or SERIOUS
INJURY.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, COULD result in MINOR or MODERATE
injury.
Identifies practices likely to result in product/property damage, such as operation that might
damage the product.
Hazards of Improper Use:
We strive to identify foreseeable hazards associated with the use of our products. However, material handling
is dangerous and no manual can address every risk. Exercise sound judgment whenever using the table.
Improper or careless operation might result in serious personal injuries.
Failure to read and understand the entire manual before assembling, using or servicing the product
constitutes misuse
.
Read the manual to refresh your understanding of proper use and maintenance
procedures as necessary.
DO NOT attempt to lift a load that weighs more than the capacity of your table. The capacity appears on label
287 as shown in “Labeling diagram” on p. 13. (Also see “Specifications” on p. 2. If the maximum rated load
displayed on label 287 differs from information on p. 2, the number shown on the label should be deemed
correct.)
DO NOT allow people to stand or sit on either the table or the load.
Stand clear of the table while raising or lowering the tabletop.
Keep clear of pinch points while the tabletop rises and lowers.
DO NOT reach through the legs or under the tabletop unless it is supported by the maintenance stop(s).
DO NOT use this table in corrosive environments. The table is designed for use in non-classified environments.
ONLY install the table on compacted, improved surfaces capable of supporting the combined weight of the table
and a full capacity load.
DO NOT perform maintenance on this table UNLESS it is unloaded and maintenance stops are in place. If
repairs are necessary, ONLY install manufacturer-approved replacement parts.
Center and evenly distribute loads on the tabletop. Secure loads to the tabletop if they are likely to roll or slide.
DO NOT use the table unless it is in normal operating condition. Inspect the unit before each use according to
the inspection instructions on p. 12-13 to determine whether the unit is functioning normally. DO NOT use the
table unless it passes
every
part of the inspection or until it is restored to normal condition.
ALWAYS observe the table while raising and lowering the tabletop. It should rise smoothly and evenly from
side-to-side. Watch for binding or jerky movement and listen for unusual noises.
DO NOT continue to try to raise the tabletop if it is already fully elevated.
Before leaving the table unattended, unload it. Relieve hydraulic pressure by pressing the release lever and
holding it until the tabletop is fully lowered.
DO NOT use the tabletop UNLESS all labels are in place and readable (see “Labeling diagram” on p. 13).
DO NOT modify this product in any way. Modifications automatically void the limited warranty and might make
the table unsafe to use.
Proper use and maintenance are essential for this product to function properly.
Periodically lubricate moving parts.
Keep the table clean & dry. Do not install the table where it will be exposed to the elements.
Only use approved replacement parts. To order replacement or spare parts for this equipment, contact the
technical service department.
