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
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.
