Read and understand the Owner’s Manual, all decals and warning on lift-gate before operating lift-gate.
•
Do not operate lift-gate without a thorough knowledge and understanding of the operation of the lift-gate.
•
Lift gate hazards can result in crushing or falling.

This lift-gate is designed for loading and unloading of cargo. If personnel are required to ride lift-gate, observe and familiarize
yourself with the lift-gate operation, decals and manuals. Ensure stable footing at all times.
•
Do not ride lift-gate with unstable loads.
•
Wheeled loads must be properly retained from rolling.
•
Tall, high center of gravity loads must be retained from falling over.
•
Never overload lift-gate: Load platform as close to the vehicle, and towards the middle of the platform as possible. Refer to
owner’s manual and capacity decal of lift-gate for maximum load and load placement.
•
Keep hands and feet clear of all potential pinch points.
•
Never use lift-gate if it makes any unusual noise, has unusual vibration, raises or lowers unevenly, or fails to operate smoothly.
Never use lift-gate if it shows any signs of structural damage such as cracked welds, bent or distorted members.
•
Do not attempt any repairs unless you are qualified to do so. Care should be taken when work is performed on a disabled lift-
gate located near moving traffic. When possible the vehicle should be moved away from traffic areas for repair. Precautionary
measures should be taken to ensure personal safety including those recommended in Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
571.125.
•
When welding to lift-gate, or lift-gate components, take all necessary safety precautions, including using respiratory protection
and other pertinent personal protective gear when welding harmful materials.

Take care to retain cargo during transit for lift-gate Platforms which function as the tailgate or door of the cargo area. Small
objects can fall through the space between the vehicle and the folded Platform.
•
A Lock-Out device or Shut-Off Switch should always be used to prevent unauthorized use of lift-gate.
•
For lift-gates with Runners, never use lift-gate if Runners do not travel freely and smoothly.

Never transfer loads which exceed lifting capacity on or over any part of the Platform unless the lift-gate is equipped with a spe-
cial reinforced Platform and Platform Support Bars for use when the Platform is used as loading ramp (dock board). Refer to the
“Using Platform as a loading ramp” Chapter in the Operation Instructions of the BZ/RZ series Owner’s Manual.
•
For lift-gates equipped with Trailer Hitches, never exceed the rated capacity of the hitch. Do not exceed the vehicle’s weight
rating. Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual.

Vehicle must comply with all state and federal standards.
•
Follow the “Maintenance Guide” chapter in the Owner’s Manual.
