THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting and support devices is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical
means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel
involved in the use and operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of
the equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly
secured loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for
which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand & follow all instructions before using.
• User and bystanders must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Inspect crane before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic fluid, or
unstable due to loose or missing hardware or parts. Take corrective action before using.
• Never get under the load being lifted or suspended.
• Use only on a hard level surface.
• Do not raise the boom if the crane is equipped with a foldable or storable leg feature and the legs are in the upright position.
• Use only slings or chains with a rated capacity greater than the weight of the load being lifted.
• Do not exceed rated capacity.
• Do not lift or move a load that has a center of gravity extending beyond the front wheels.
• Do not allow load to swing or drop violently while raising, lowering or moving.
• Do not use (or modify) this product for any other purpose than that for which it was designed without consulting the
manufacturer's authorized representative.
• Before moving, lower load to the lowest possible point.
• Apply the load restraint to the engine before transporting. See operating instructions in manual.
• No alterations shall be made to this product and do not use any unapproved attachments.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
