THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

The use of attachments, adapters, and accessories with 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 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 securing 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 & follow all instructions before using.
•  Inspect before each use.  Do not use if damaged, altered, modified, in poor condition or has loose or missing components.  Take corrective 

action before using.

•  Do not exceed rated capacity.
•  This product was not designed for overhead lifting applications.  Stay out from under a load being lifted or suspended.
•  Do not spread the load bearing chains more than a total of 90°.
•  Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standard (users & bystanders)
•  Assure the load is secured to the device.
•  Attach all four chains to the load being lifted.
•  No alterations shall be made to this device.
•  This product can expose you to chemicals including nickel which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
