GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Danger always exists when loads are transported by lifting devices, especially

cidents and severe bodily injury or death can result, special safety precautions apply to

Following these simple rules can help to avoid lifting accidents:
Remember, proper lifting knowledge and techniques are the responsibility of the op-
erator. Be sure to read and understand the instructions and safety warnings contained in
this manual before using your lifter.
