AS SUCH THE STANDS DO NOT HAVE A VEHICULAR RATED CAPACITY AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED TO SUPPORT A VEHICLE AT ANY TIME AND SHOULD NEVER BE ALTERED TO DO SO.

WARNING! No part of this unit or any accessory relating to the straightener is designed for lifting loads. It is intended only as a pulling device and must be used as such with care.
WARNING! Disconnect the straightener from the hydraulic pump before servicing or performing any maintenance on the unit.
Maintain straightener in good order. Replace/repair with genuine parts only. Non genuine parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Use qualified person to lubricate and maintain the hydraulic pump. DO NOT use brake fluid to top up hydraulic unit. Use Sealey hydraulic oil only.

WARNING! Use straightener on level & solid ground, preferably concrete. Avoid tarmacadam since the equipment may sink into the surface.
** Keep area clean & tidy and free from unrelated materials. Ensure there is adequate lighting.
WARNING! Ensure you know how much load you are pulling. Never exceed the maximum pulling capacity.
DO NOT attempt to increase pressure by increasing pump leverage through putting an extension on the handle of the pump.

Use in conjunction with Sealey hydraulic pump, chains, hooks, etc only. DO NOT use pumps or accessories other than those supplied with kit, or contact your local agent for details of Sealey hydraulic pumps and pulling accessories. Non-genuine items may damage unit and void warranty.
Ensure there is positive engagement of straightener chains, claws, hooks, links etc to the chassis or vehicle body before pulling. Get a colleague to double check the all the clamps are fully tightened and chains firmly located before using the pump to start a pull.
Place tarpaulin or heavy cover over chains to minimise backlash etc should chains, clamps other accessory work loose or whiplash for any reason.
Should jacks be employed in the operation, ensure they are of the appropriate type and capacity, are in good condition and that you follow any instructions relating to the jack. Also ensure correct stress supports are used between the jack and jacking surfaces.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip shoes.
DO BE CERTAIN THAT THE VEHICLE BEING WORKED ON IS PROPERLY PREPARED AND SECURED. When pressure is applied there exists the possibility of body parts giving way suddenly and the vehicle moving in what could be a dangerous way.
