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.
• This stand is intended to assist in stabilizing and supporting a trailer that has been disconnected from the tractor.
Do not use this stand to support a load but rather assist in supporting a load.
• Do not use beyond rated capacity.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z 87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Use only on a hard level surface capable of supporting the load.
• Inspect the 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.
• Use stands in pairs.
• Consult trailer manufacturer for proper stand location on trailer frame.
• Inspect stands before each use. Do not use stands if damaged, excessively worn, altered, modified or in poor condition.
Take corrective action before using the stands.
• Failure to heed these warnings may result in potential injury and/or property damage.
