THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
WARNING
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
WARNING
• Study, understand and follow all instructions before using.
• Lift only on areas of the vehicle as specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standards.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity.
• Lifting device only. Immediately after lifting, support the vehicle with jack stands capable of sustaining the load before working on the vehicle.
• Use on a hard level service.
• Center load on saddle. Be sure setup is stable before lifting.
• Do not use saddle adapters or saddle extenders between the stock lifting saddle and the load.
• Only attachments and/or adaptors supplied by Balkamp shall be used.
• Always lower the jack slowly and carefully.
• This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
