INSPECT BEFORE WORKING
Make certain the entire stilts are free of any sign of damage or exces-
sive wear, and that all nuts and bolts are tight. Special attention should
be given to the entire strut tube assemblies and wing bolts in this
respect.
Make certain that each step completely clears the floor, as you must
never drag or shuffle your feet. Don’t work in or around loose wire,
rope, electric cords, paper sacks, broken glass, conduit, etc.
