THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
The use of portable automotive lifting devices are subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the exer-
cise of intelligence, care and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation of the equip-
ment 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
