THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

WARNING

The use of attachments, adapters, and accessories with portable automotive lifting devices are subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and operation of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualiﬁed in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use. Examples of hazards are dropping, tipping or slipping of loads caused primarily by improperly securing loads, overloading, off-centered loads, use on other than hard level surfaces, and using equipment for a purpose for which it was not designed.

METHODS TO AVOID HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

• Do not exceed rated capacity.

• This product was not designed for overhead lifting applications. Stay out from under a load being lifted or suspended.

• Do not spread the load bearing chains more than a total of 90°.

• Wear eye protection that meets ANSI Z87.1 and OSHA standard (users & bystanders)

• Assure the load is secured to the device.

• Attach all four chains to the load being lifted.

• No alterations shall be made to this device.

• This product can expose you to chemicals including nickel which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

OWNER'S MANUAL

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This is the safety alert symbol used for the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury.

The load leveler is designed to be used with a portable shop crane to handle and position engines and other large vehicle components. The drive screw adjusts the sling's lift point in relation to the mounting chains to compensate for off-center loads, or adjusts to a certain angle for component removal or installation.

1. Attach the shop crane's hook or attachment device to the oval link at the top of the sling's lifting block. Make sure the connection is secure.

2. Lift only on the areas of the engine or component as speciﬁed by the vehicle manufacturer. Make sure that all four chains are securely fastened to

the load.

3. Before lifting make sure that all fuel and electrical lines and components are clear of the load.

4. Lift the load just high enough to locate the center of balance or the desired angle in which the load can be removed. This adjustment is

accomplished by turning the sling's drive screw in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

This is the safety alert symbol used for the PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE section of this manual to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all instructions to avoid possible injury. IMPORTANT: Any leveler found to be defective as a result of worn parts due to lack of lubrication is not eligible for warranty consideration.

1. Always store the leveler in a well protected area where it will not be exposed to inclement weather, corrosive vapors, abrasive dust, or any other

harmful elements.

2. The leveler must be lubricated periodically in order to prevent premature wearing of parts. A general purpose grease must be applied to the threads

on the screw.

3. Every sling owner is responsible for keeping its label clean and readable.

4. Do not attempt to make any repairs unless you are a qualiﬁed repair person that is familiar with this equipment.
