SAFETY PROCEDURES

(Read and understand prior to using this product)

• Read and understand the contents of this manual prior to using this piece of equipment.
• Read and obey all labels on this product. If you have any questions about these, ask your supervisor.
• Never overload your Easy-Lift; stay within the rated capacity depicted on the specification tag.
• Do not operate the truck if it has been damaged or is not in proper working order.
• Distribute the load evenly on the platform and within the specified load center.
• Only handle loads on flat level surfaces. Do not use a loaded truck on inclines or declines.
•  Never put your feet, hands, or any other body part under the frame assembly, platform, or load.
•  Always make sure that the load is stable before moving to eliminate opportunity for load shift.
• When not in use, the platform should be fully lowered to avoid injury.
• Do not get oil or grease on the winch friction disc, as this could allow the load to slip or fall.
• Obey crank rotation decals and operating instructions.
• Do not use this lift as a personnel lift.
• Never let anyone stand or ride on the truck frame or platform.
• Inspect the cable, winch, and frame for excessive wear or damage before each use.
• A loud clicking sound from the ratchet must be heard when lifting a load. If a loud clicking sound is not heard, do not use.
• Never release the crank handle unless the ratchet pawl is fully engaged and the load is supported.
• Never leave a weight hanging from the winch while the winch is unattended, as another person may attempt to operate the winch, thereby creating an unsafe condition.
• Move loads only with the platform in the fully lowered position.
• Failure to follow these safety procedures may result in property damage, bodily injury, and/or death.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Push or pull lift by firmly grabbing the loop handle with the platform in the lowered position.
• To LIFT a load, turn the crank handle clockwise. The ratchet MUST make a loud clicking noise.
• To LOWER a load, turn the crank handle counterclockwise. No clicking is heard because the brake system is activated.

MAINTENANCE

•  Do not get oil or grease on the friction disks. This could allow the load to slip and fall.
• Maintain a film of automotive type grease on all gear teeth, and to the OD of drum bearing at all times.
• Keep the ratchet pawl pivot, bushings, and pinion threads lubricated with automotive engine oil at all times.

At the start of your shift, check the items listed below. Report any malfunction or unsafe conditions to your supervisor. Do not use this product until it is repaired.

• Check the cable, friction disks, and gear teeth for excessive wear.
• Check the wheels and casters for excessive wear or damage, and remove debris.
