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 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
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before using.
• User and bystanders must wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• This stand is intended to assist in supporting under vehicle components, not the vehicle.
• Inspect the stand before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, or has loose or missing
hardware or components. Take corrective action before using the stand.
• Center load on saddle. Do not use ends of saddle to support load.
• Adequately support the vehicle before starting repairs.
• Be sure vehicle, vehicle component and stand are stable before performing any work.
• Do not use beyond rated capacity. Do not shock load.
• Do not use (or modify) this product for any other purpose than that for which it was designed without consulting the
manufacturer's authorized representative.
• Use only on a hard level surface capable of supporting the load.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in fatal personal injury and/or property damage.
