WARNING
The use of 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 essential to have personnel involved in the use and operation of the device
who are careful, competent, trained, and qualified in the safe operation of the device and its proper use when servicing motor vehicles
and their components. 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 intended.
