ILP 25/33 Owner’s Manual
Rev.1.4 7
2.1 General Safety
REMEMBER!
It is the fleet manager’s responsibility to educate the operator on the liftgate and its intended use. The
operator’s attention should be drawn to the permitted load limits and an understanding of the operation to
ensure safety throughout the operation.
ONE-MAN OPERATION!
Never let an “outsider” operate the liftgate while you are handling the cargo. A “misunderstanding” can
result in serious personal injury or even death.
In the interest of safety it is important that all operating personnel properly understand the functions
of the liftgate, possible hazards, dangers, the load limits and load positioning for that specific unit.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Before the operator uses the liftgate, they should be thoroughly familiar with the lift’s functions and
usage according to the following:
1. Improper operation of this lift can result in serious personal injury. Do not operate unless you have
been properly instructed, have read and are familiar with the operation instructions. If you do not
have a copy of the instructions please obtain them from your employer, distributor or lessor, as
appropriate, before you attempt to operate the lift.
2. Be certain the vehicle is properly and securely stopped before using the lift.
3. Always maintain the liftgate and inspect it for damage before usage. If there are signs of improper
maintenance, damage to vital parts, or slippery platform surface, do not use the lift. Do not attempt
your own repairs unless you are specifically trained.
4. Do not overload. See the Rating Label on the unit for the rated load. Remember that this limit
applies to both raising and lowering operations.
5. Each load should be placed in a stable position as near as possible to the body of the truck/trailer.
6. Never stand in, move through or allow anyone else to stand in or move through the area in which the
lift operates, including that area in which a load might fall.
7. This is not a passenger lift. Do not ride the lift with unstable loads or in such a manner that a failure
would endanger you. The lift is not equipped with a back-up system to prevent falling cargo in the
event of a failure.
