CAUTION: Regarding IBM provided VENDOR LIFT TOOL:
• Operation of LIFT TOOL by authorized personnel only.
• LIFT TOOL intended for use to assist, lift, install, remove units (load) up into rack elevations. It is

not to be used loaded transporting over major ramps nor as a replacement for such designated

tools like pallet jacks, walkies, fork trucks and such related relocation practices. When this is not

practicable, specially trained persons or services must be used (for instance, riggers or movers).

• Read and completely understand the contents of LIFT TOOL operator's manual before using.

Failure to read, understand, obey safety rules, and follow instructions may result in property

damage and/or personal injury. If there are questions, contact the vendor's service and support.

Local paper manual must remain with machine in provided storage sleeve area. Latest revision

manual available on vendor's web site.

• Test verify stabilizer brake function before each use. Do not over-force moving or rolling the LIFT

TOOL with stabilizer brake engaged.

• Do not raise, lower or slide platform load shelf unless stabilizer (brake pedal jack) is fully

engaged. Keep stabilizer brake engaged when not in use or motion.

• Do not move LIFT TOOL while platform is raised, except for minor positioning.
• Do not exceed rated load capacity. See LOAD CAPACITY CHART regarding maximum loads at

center versus edge of extended platform.

• Only raise load if properly centered on platform. Do not place more than 200 lb (91 kg) on edge

of sliding platform shelf also considering the load's center of mass/gravity (CoG).

• Do not corner load the platforms, tilt riser, angled unit install wedge or other such accessory

options. Secure such platforms -- riser tilt, wedge, etc options to main lift shelf or forks in all four

(4x or all other provisioned mounting) locations with provided hardware only, prior to use. Load

objects are designed to slide on/off smooth platforms without appreciable force, so take care not

to push or lean. Keep riser tilt [adjustable angling platform] option flat at all times except for final

minor angle adjustment when needed.

• Do not stand under overhanging load.
• Do not use on uneven surface, incline or decline (major ramps).
• Do not stack loads.
• Do not operate while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not support ladder against LIFT TOOL (unless the specific allowance is provided for one

following qualified procedures for working at elevations with this TOOL).

• Tipping hazard. Do not push or lean against load with raised platform.
• Do not use as a personnel lifting platform or step. No riders.
• Do not stand on any part of lift. Not a step.
• Do not climb on mast.
• Do not operate a damaged or malfunctioning LIFT TOOL machine.
• Crush and pinch point hazard below platform. Only lower load in areas clear of personnel and

obstructions. Keep hands and feet clear during operation.

• No Forks. Never lift or move bare LIFT TOOL MACHINE with pallet truck, jack or fork lift.
• Mast extends higher than platform. Be aware of ceiling height, cable trays, sprinklers, lights, and

other overhead objects.

• Do not leave LIFT TOOL machine unattended with an elevated load.
• Watch and keep hands, fingers, and clothing clear when equipment is in motion.
