THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting 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 securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a
purpose for which it was not designed.
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.

CONSEQUENCES OF NOT AVOIDING HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
Failure to read this manual completely and thoroughly, failure to understand its OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS, SAFETY WARNINGS, MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS and comply with them, and failure to comply with the METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS could cause accidents resulting in

METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand & follow all instructions before using.
• Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic fluid or unstable due to loose or
missing components. Make corrections before using.
• Use only on a hard level surface free from obstructions so the jack is free to reposition itself during lifting and lowering operations.
• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• User and bystanders must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity. Do not shock load.
•
This is a lifting device only. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with jack stands capable of sustaining the load before
working on the vehicle.
• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable before working on vehicle.
• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.
• Do not use any materials that may serve as risers, spacers or extenders between the stock lifting saddle and the load.
• Do not use any adaptors that replace the stock lifting saddle unless approved or supplied by the jack manufacturer.
• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.
• 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.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
