SAFETY
The battery-operated stackers are very powerful lifts
capable of doing large amounts of work.
DO NOT INSTALL OR OPERATE THESE LIFTS
WITHOUT CAREFULLY READING THIS MANU-
AL. In order to provide for the safe operation of these
stackers, Presto Lifts Inc. has identified certain hazards
that may occur during the installation, maintenance
and use of these lifts. For safety reasons these units
are designed to be serviced or repaired in the collapsed
position. If performed properly, this will greatly reduce
the possibility of injury.
WARNING!
Do not perform any repair work on lifts if
there is a load on the forks or platform.
Do not perform any repair work if the forks or
platform is in the raised position.
All personnel must stand clear of the lift while
in motion.
Do not put hands or feet under the forks or
platform.
Do not stand underneath the forks or plat-
form.
Do not stand in front of the stacker while in
motion.
Do not stand, sit or climb on the lift.
Do not use the lift on soft, uneven or unstable
surfaces.
Do not exceed the load center or capacity.

INSTALLATION

A. INSPECTION
:
Upon receipt of the stacker, inspect the equipment com-
pletely to determine if there is any shipping damage,
and that the lift is complete. Presto Lifts Inc. tests and
inspects every piece of equipment prior to shipment. If
damage is apparent, a freight claim must be filed with
the freight company. Do not use the lift if there appears
to be any damage. With the lift in a collapsed position,
check the following:

tural integrity.
