THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
The use of this Farm Jack 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, and using equipment
for a purpose for which it was not designed.
METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS
• Failure to heed these markings may result in serious injury or death.
• Inspect the jack before each use to make sure all hardware is included, secured, no damage to any components and is properly
lubricated.
• Do not allow bystanders around the jack or under the load supported only by the jack.
• Do not use jack beyond its rated capacity.
• Support load with appropriate means immediately after lifting.
• Always securely chock and stabilize the load to be lifted. Never place any part of the body under a raised load without properly
chocking and supporting the load.
• Do not use the jack on any curved or tubular surface that will slip off the jack’s saddle.
• When using the jack as a winch always use chains or tow straps that have a greater load capacity than the jack.
• When using the jack as a winch do not exceed 5,000 lbs. of line pull or the top bracket will bend or break.
• When using the jack for clamping, do not exceed 750 lbs. of force on the top bracket or it will bend or break.
• Always keep your head away from the jack handle path of movement.
• Before activating the reversing latch, always place the handle against the steel standard bar with the handle clip spring engaged
with the bar to prevent handle from moving up and down rapidly. Hold on to the jack handle so it is never in the horizontal
position when activating the reversing latch.
• Never remove your hands from the jack’s handle when lifting or lowering a load.
• When raising a vehicle’s tire off the ground never raise it more than 2” and only one tire at a time.
• Never allow the jack to stand vertical and unsupported. Lay it on its side when not in use.
• No alterations shall be made to this product.
• The operation and safety of this jack depends on proper lubrication.
