WARNINGS
2. Do not exceed rated load capacity of the Liftgates which is
3500 lbs. for model BMR-3500, 4400 lbs. for model BMR44, 5500 lbs. for model BMR-55, and 6600 lbs. for model
BMR-66.
3. Do not allow any part of your body to be placed under, within, or
around any portion of the moving Liftgate or its mechanisms, or in
a position that would trap them between the platform and the fl oor
of truck body (or between platform and the ground) when Liftgate
is operated.
4. Consider the safety and location of bystanders and
location of nearby objects when operating the Liftgate. Stand
to one side of platform while operating the Liftgate. Be certain
that the area the Liftgate will move through during operation
is clear of all obstacles.
5. Comply with all attached instruction decals and warning decals.
11. Above all, USE GOOD COMMON SENSE when operating this
Liftgate.
8. Do not move vehicle unless Liftgate is correctly stowed.
6. Keep decals clean and legible. If decals are illegible or missing,
have them replaced. Get free replacement decals from Maxon.
7. Never drive a forklift on the Liftgate platform.
10. A correctly installed Liftgate will operate smoothly and reasonably
quiet. The only noticeable noise, during Liftgate operation, is from
the power unit while the platform is being opened (SD models
only), lowered (power down models only), raised, or closed. Listen
for scraping, grating and binding noises and have the problem
corrected before continuing to operate the Liftgate.
