• Never lift human cargo; nor allow personnel on or under the load before the lifting is complete and the load
has been fully secured (see procedure 9).
• Never allow a raised load to be supported by the jacks only or lift without being secured (see procedure 9).
Never leave the lever bar in the socket after lifting is complete. (Accidental striking of unattended bar
projecting from socket risks the jack becoming dislocated or dislodged causing the load to shift or fall).
• Never strike jack housing or parts with a hammer or other heavy object to align or set jack. (In addition to
causing possible damage to the jack, ying chips or other objects may cause serious injury to anyone in the
vicinity.)
