Safety instructions for operating the product
• Keep the work area well illuminated.
• Make sure that the support stands make a firm contact with the ground.
• When the support stands are in use make sure that no persons are in the vicinity of
the support stands or lie down underneath the vehicle to prevent serious injuries.
• A damaged or malfunctioning product must never be used. If damage or
malfunctions are discovered during pre-operation inspection or function tests,
the product must be tagged and removed from service.
• Use the support stands only on hard level surfaces. Uneven or sloped surfaces
create dangerous working conditions and dangerously obstruct the function of the
safety trestle.
• Only when the person who has safely placed the support stands gives the sign that
the installation has been completed, work on the vehicle can commence.
• When the support stands are in proper position, set the vehicle’s parking brake or
emergency brake.
• Do not support human load.
• Do not support animal load.
• Use wheel chocks on all unlifted wheels to make sure the vehicle is stable.
• Turn the vehicle ignition off.
• Always use the support stands in pairs.
• Position the support stands as far apart as possible so maximise their carrying
capacity.
• Bystanders who are not working on the vehicle must keep a minimum distance of
0.5 m from the vehicle.
