LOADING SAFETY

CAUTION: Never lift a load that is over the rated capacity of the PowerMate® unit.

Estimate the weight and center of gravity position of the load and refer to the unit
Load Capacity Chart to ensure the load is within the loading envelope. The capacity
may be limited by the weight and strength of the operator(s). Do not operate with a
load that is beyond the operator's physical ability.

Do not attempt to increase the load capacity of the equipment by the use of chains,
rope, or other means of securing the equipment to the bed or bodies of vehicles,
handrails, wall brackets, etc..

Operators shall determine the balance of unfamiliar loads prior moving the load.
Work performed in a balanced condition is done easier and safer. New operators
should gain practice experience with lighter loads of approximately 250 lbs. with a
medium center of gravity before progressing to heavier loads. Do not raise or lower
the load too far past the balance point. Jog the equipment control switches so as
not to transfer the load weight too quickly. Training is mandatory!

Ensure the load is not damaged, properly packaged, no loose items such as tools
used in packaging the load and sharp items (such as nails) projecting from the
load.

Protect the PowerMate
failure. Always inspect straps prior to use. Insure the strapping latching mechanism
is fully engaged.

Verify load secureness at the beginning of use, and prior to climbing or descending

SAFETY IN MOTION continued

Stay alert. Should something break, loosen, or malfunction, on your machine, stop

work and seek qualified assistance to correct the condition. When going down a
ramp or incline, always walk ahead of the machine and use the open/close controls
to engage the rubber guard (foot) with the ground to act as a brake. Do not allow
the loaded PowerMate® to attain an un-controllable speed. When moving a
PowerMate® unit down a stair without a load, always push the wheels off the step
before lowering the wheels to the next step.

Do not compress the top urethane bumper when the machine is under load.

BATTERY SAFETY

Lead-acid batteries contain hydrogen-oxygen gases that can be explosive and
sulphuric acid that can cause severe burns. To help avoid risk of danger and injury,
observe these precautions when handling or working with a lead-acid battery.

Wear ANSI approved safety glasses or goggles and a face shield. Wear proper
clothing to protect hands, and body. Wear appropriate rubber gloves and apron.

Never lean over a battery when testing or charging. Cigarettes, flames or sparks,
could cause a battery to explode. Keep all ignition sources away from battery. Do
not strike the sides of a battery with any spark producing item. Make sure work
area is well-ventilated.

Never touch both battery terminals with bare hands at the same time. Remove
rings, watches and dangling jewelry when working with batteries. The metal in the

ewelry can cause a shock and burns if contacted with the battery terminals.

Only use insulated/non-conducting tools when making connections on a battery.
Never lay tools or other parts on top of a battery.

Because the batteries used in L P International products are of the sealed type,
the battery should be replaced if there is evidence of spillage. If there is spilled
sulphuric acid present, neutralize with baking soda. Never remove vent caps on a
sealed battery. In the event of an accident, flush with water and call a physician
immediately. If venting gas is significantly inhaled, seek immediate medical
attention.

Never store batteries with explosives, flammable materials, chemicals, or food.

Protect batteries from crushing, punctures and shorting.

Do not charge or use booster cables or adjust battery connections without proper

instructions and training.

Keep batteries out of reach of children.

Do not accumulate used batteries. Dispose used batteries in accordance with

local environmental laws.
