    The following sketches illustrate some of the unsafe situations that might occur during the use or operation of the Versalift. Some of these safety problems are very basic and as a result are often taken for granted. Always engage the outriggers, and maintain the correct tire pressure to increase vehicle stability.
  • Page 14 Never allow anyone on the ground to touch the unit when the lift is being used to work on or near electrical lines. Watch the booms to make sure they clear the truck and other obstructions. Stow the booms securely before moving the truck. VERSALIFT VST-36/40/47/52-I 39014-03 06/16...
