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 haz-
ards 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.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before operating this device.
• Inspect the jack before each use. Do not use jack if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, leaking hydraulic fluid,
or unstable due to loose or missing components. Make corrections before using.
• Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the transmission's center of balance.
• Never use a power tool to activate the saddle tilt screws. Operate by hand or socket wrench.
• Secure the transmission to the jack's saddle with the anchorage restraint system provided before raising or lowering
the transmission.
• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable before working on vehicle.
• Support the engine with a stand before unbolting the transmission from the engine.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards (users and bystanders).
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity. Do not shock load.
•
Do not crawl under engine or place any part of your body under engine at any time.
