THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
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 equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe
operation of the equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards 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
WARNING
• 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 hardware or parts. Make corrections before using.
• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity.
• This is a lifting device only. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with jack stands capable of sustaining the
load before working on the vehicle.
• Use only on a hard level surface free from obstructions so the jack is free to reposition itself during lifting and
lowering operations.
• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable before working on vehicle.
• Do not move or dolly the vehicle while on the jack.
• Do not use saddle adapters or saddle extenders between the stock lifting saddle and the load.
• Do not use any adapters unless approved or supplied by Arcan.
• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in serious or fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
