THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
The use of attachments, adapters, and accessories with portable automotive lifting devices are 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.
