Operating Instructions
Do Not Operate Unless:
You learn and practice the principles of safe
machine operation contained in this operator's
manual.
1 Avoid hazardous situations.
2 Always perform a pre-operation inspection.
3 Always perform function tests prior to use.

Fundamentals
The Operating Instructions section provides
instructions for each aspect of machine operation.
It is the operator's responsibility to follow all the
safety rules and instructions in the operator's
manual.
Using the machine for any purpose other than lifting
material is unsafe.
If more than one operator is expected to use a
machine at different times in the same work shift,
each operator is expected to follow all safety rules
and instructions in the operator's manual. That
means every new operator should perform a pre-
operation inspection, function tests and a
workplace inspection before using the machine.
Setup
Select an area that is firm, level and free of
obstructions.
Follow the Setup procedures in the Function Tests
section.
