WARNING
Use of jacks to move heavy loads involves risk of serious injury unless jacks are properly used and
maintained by properly qualified, trained and supervised personnel. In no event should jacks be operated by any-
one who has not read, or is not strictly complying with, the operating procedures and precautions contained in this
manual.
Failure to comply with the following cautions and warnings could cause equipment damage, property dam-
age or personal injury.
1. Assure that the operator is properly trained and qualified, and is properly supervised and instructed in the
safe and proper use of the jack, and all related equipment for the specific application. Also, ensure that the opera-
tor has read and understood these "Operating and Safety Procedures and Precautions."
2. Have the jack first examined carefully by a qualified person for signs of any cracks, damage, wear or other
condition which might cause the jack to malfunction or fail. Then, operate the jack without load through at least
one full cycle to verify proper functioning of all mechanisms without binding, slippage, or other condition which
might affect proper functioning. Then, immediately before use, assure that all mechanisms are free of dirt, stones
or other foreign objects.
3. Determine the maximum weight of the load, and the distance it is to be lifted; and then be sure that neither
the load nor the distance to be lifted exceeds the jack's rated load capacity and stated
maximum travel, as shown on the decal affixed to the jack.
4. Ensure that the jack is on a firm foundation, evenly and rigidly supported at the base; properly aligned with the
load; and securely seated at both the lifting point and the base so that neither the jack nor the load can slip or shift.
5. Ensure that the operating lever's full arc of travel, and the surrounding workspace, are free of all
obstructions.
6. When using the jack to move or lift a load, follow operating instructions and ensure that securely placed
and affixed blocking, guys, guides and other safety constraints are properly installed which follow the load during
