address printed on the back cover of this manual if
you have any questions.
Anyone who operates this jack must read and
understand all the instructions and warnings
provided with this jack before being allowed to use
it.
All operators must be careful, competent, trained,
and qualified in the safe operation of the jack. The
owner (or other responsible individual) must ensure
that any operator observes the proper safety
procedures for using this jack at all times. If the
operator does not read well or is not fluent in English,
the owner / manager must read and review the
instructions and warnings in the manual with the
operator in the operator's native language to be sure
that the operator will use the jack properly.
The owner / manager must keep this manual for

, and make sure the warning labels
on the jack are legible and intact at all times.
Replacement labels and manuals are available from

if you have any questions.
Make sure the load does not exceed the maximum
capacity of the lift.
Maximum capacity is 10,000 lbs.
/ 4,540 kg. per lift. Never use the lift system to raise or
support more than maximum capacity per lift. Never
use a lift as a stand to support more than maximum
capacity per lift.
NEVER
modify
the
product
in
any
way
.
Modifications (other than those explicitly discussed in
this manual – e.g., use of optional small wheel
adapters) may cause the lift to perform improperly,
resulting in injury or death.
Always use lift on a hard level surface, capable of
sustaining the load.
Be sure surface is clean and free
of debris, cracks, and chips.
The lift system is designed to lift over-the-road
vehicles with rims of at least 21 inches in diameter
(14 inches in diameter if the manufacturer supplied
optional adapters are used). NEVER use the lift
system on vehicles with rims
less
than 21 inches in
diameter (14 inches if adapters are used).
Use the lifts only in pairs of 2 or 4 lift units,
on the
opposite ends of the same axle. Never lift using a
single unit.
NEVER use the lift system to raise a vehicle by the
frame or structural member.
The lift is designed to
be used only beneath the vehicle tires.
DO NOT raise one end of a vehicle if the opposite
end is supported by stands or another lifting
device.
When using two lift units to raise one end of a
vehicle, the opposite end of the vehicle must be in
contact with the ground, transmission in neutral and
parking brake released.
To prevent tipping, never raise or lower just one
side of a vehicle.

clothing on or near the lift table
. There are potential
pinch points that can injure hands and fingers or
possibly grab clothing and pull body parts into pinch
points.
NEVER stand under the lift or vehicle when it is
being raised or lowered.
NEVER operate lift system from a distance that the
work area is not plainly visible,
another room, or
from under the vehicle.
NEVER use the lift system in conjunction with any
other equipment used to raise a vehicle.
Never use blocks, adapters, or accessories that
have not been provided by the manufacturer
, or
cribbing devices of any kind with this lift system.
To reduce the risk of fire,
do not operate equipment
in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids
(gasoline).
To reduce the risk of electric shock
, do not use on
wet surfaces or expose to rain.
NEVER raise the lift system or an individual lift
when an automatic pin is partially or fully inserted
.
If a lift raises against an inserted pin, stop raising
immediately.
