Always ensure that the correct PPE is worn before
operating the lift including:

Safety shoes
Always check which PPE is required at each particular
job site. Do not use the lift and do not execute any
function tests without wearing the appropriate PPE.

to operate the winch safely to raise or lower the unit.
Fall Hazards
Do not use this lift as a personal lifting platform or step.
Do not stand on the loading accessories (e.g. lifting fork
etc.). Do not climb on the mast, the chassis or other
components.
Tip-over hazards
Always ensure before either loading or lifting that the lift is
positioned on a secure, solid, flat and horizontal subsurface.
Do not raise the load until all the available stabilisers and
legs have been fully lowered and secured and the casters
are in full contact with the work surface.
Do not raise the load until all outriggers are extended and
the appropriate leg retainer pins are properly inserted into
the chassis.
When using models with counterweights, only raise the load
when the weight box has been completely filled with the
specified counterweights.
A fixed and secured outrigger must not be re-adjusted
while the lift is loaded or is in a raised position.
Prior to use, check the working area for steep slopes and
drop-offs, holes and debris. Also check for unstable, slippery
or icy surfaces and other possible sources of danger.
Do not raise the load unless the loading accessories
are correctly secured to the lift.
Do not use blocks, stones, planks or any other items to
balance the lift.
Do
not
move the lift with a raised load except for
very
minor positioning.
Never operate the lift if it is ice-covered.
Never operate the lift in strong or gusty wind conditions.
An increase in the load surface area will decrease lift
stability when operating in windy conditions.
Never leave a load in a raised position in windy
conditions unless the lift is correctly tag lined.
Always ensure, when raising or lowering secured or
overhanging loads, that no obstructions can interfere
with the safe operation of the lift.
