THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of portable automotive lifting and support devices is 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
secured loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for
which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Read, study, understand and follow all instructions before using.
• Inspect the jack stands before each use. Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition, or have loose or missing
hardware or parts. Make corrections before using the stands.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards (users and bystanders).
• Do not use beyond rated capacity. Do not shock load. Maximum load capacity per matched pair shall not exceed the rated
capacity of the individual stand.
• Use only on a hard level surface capable of supporting the load.
• Stands are to be used in matched pairs to support one end of a vehicle only. Do not simultaneously support both ends or one
side of a vehicle.
• Apply the emergency brake, put the gear shift lever in park or in gear if a manual shift transmission, and chock the tires that will
not be lifted off the ground.
• Center load on saddle. Do not use saddle lugs to support the load.
• Check the stands for solid contact with the ground and vehicle. Make sure the stands' locking pins are fully engaging the stand
on both sides and the support column's saddle is making contact with a vehicle support surface that can support the load.
• Consult the vehicle manufacturer for the proper frame support locations.
• Ensure both stands are set at same height and locking pins are fully engaged.
• Do not crawl under vehicle when placing/removing stands.
• Never use the stand's lower support plate (if so equipped) as a load bearing surface for the locking pin.
• This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
