OPERATING AND SAFETY PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS
Warning! - Use of jacks to move heavy loads involves substantial risk of serious injury unless: the jack is
 properlymaintained;greatcareistaken;andtheoperatorofthejackisproperlyqualied,trainedand
 supervisedintheuseofsuchjacksinthespecicapplication.
To avoid risk of serious injury:
Do the following before each and every use of the jack:
1. Assure that the operator is properly trained and qualied, and is properly supervised and instructed in the safe
and proper use of the jack and all related equipment for the specic application. Also assure that the operator
has read and understands these “ Operating and Safety Procedures and Precautions” on page 1 (which
explain how the ratchet mechanism of the jack operates to shift between lifting and lowering a load.)
2. First have the jack examined carefully by a qualied person for signs of any cracks, damage, wear or other
condition which might cause the jack to malfunction or fail. Do not use the jack if the decal is missing or not
readable. Then operate the jack without load through at least one full cycle to verify proper functioning of all
mechanisms without binding, slippage, or other condition which might affect proper functioning. Then
immediately before use, assure that all mechanisms are free of dirt, stones or other foreign objects.
3. Determine the maximum weight of the load, and the distance it is to be lifted; and then be sure that neither the
load nor the distance to be lifted excoeeds the jacks rated load capacity and stated maximum travel, as set out
on the decal afxed to the jack and cast housing of the jack.
Assure that the lever bar (jack handle) to be used is the Simplex lever bar of the correct diameter and
 lengthrecommendedforthespecicjackmodel.Theleverbartobeusedmustneverexceedthelength
 speciedonthedecal label (nor have more force applied to it than the maximum force specied on the decal
label). Dangerous, and even lethal, overloading and excessive lever bar travel conditions can exist whenever a
bar is used which exceeds the maximum specied length, or upon which excessive force is applied. If a lever
bar is used which is too short, it may be difcult to control the bar and the load during jack operation - see
procedure 6 warnings.
