CAUTION:
The weight of this part or unit is more than 55 kg (121.2 lb). It takes specially trained persons, a
lifting device, or both to safely lift this part or unit. (C011)
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, before lifting this unit, remove all appropriate subassemblies
per instructions to reduce the system weight. (C012)
CAUTION: CAUTION regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:
• Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only
• LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack elevations. It
is not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a replacement for such
designated tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices.
When this is not practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance,
riggers or movers). Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's
manual before using.
• Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.
Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may result in property
damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the vendor's service and
support. Local paper manual must remain with machine in provided storage sleeve area.
Latest revision manual available on vendor's website.
• Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the
LIFT TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.
• Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is fully
engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.
• Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
• Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at
center versus edge of extended platform.
• Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on
edge of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).
• Do not corner load the platform tilt riser accessory option. Secure platform riser tilt option to
main shelf in all four (4x) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load objects are
designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care not to push
or lean. Keep riser tilt option flat at all times except for final minor adjustment when needed.
• Do not stand under overhanging load.
• Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
• Do not stack loads. (C048, part 1 of 2)
