Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death!
WARNING! Never attempt to level a platform by inserting, or using scrap lumber, rocks, tree limbs or branches, cardboard, or
any other material(s). Under no circumstances shall you attempt to level your platform in a manner other than described in this
Instruction Manual. Failure to follow these instructions will result in serious injury or death!
