DANGERS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
DANGER!
Scissors lifts are designed individually for a specific load and application.
To avoid personal injury, do not change the load or application from the
original design.
WARNING!
NEVER stand, sit or ride on the lift!
WARNING!
All warning and information decals should be in place as outlined in the
“Label Identification” section. If decals are missing or damaged, they
should be replaced with new ones. Contact Autoquip for replacements.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to remove the drive mechanism until the maintenance locks
securely support the empty lift. Failure to do so could results in personal
injury or death!
WARNING!
Lift platforms traveling below floor levels may create openings, and the
shape of the load and how the load is arranged on the lift may create a toe
hazard as the load passes the top edge of the pit. Both situations may
require guarding in accordance with Federal Regulations. Any such
guarding must be installed prior to operating the lift.
