Use Lifting Equipment Safely
•Always use a lifting device with a lifting capacity
greater than the weight of the item being lifted.
•Secure the load to the lifting device using cables,
chains, or slings rated to handle the load being lifted.
Fasteners being used to connect lifting devices must
be strong enough to handle the load. Also be sure
the mounting point of the load is strong enough to
handle the load.
• When using a lifting device, always connect the load
so it is balanced.
•Always use a lifting device on a hard, level surface.
• Lower the lifting device to the lowest point before
moving. Move the load slowly.
• Always support the load as soon as possible; never
leave a load suspended in mid-air.
Support Machine Securely
Always check the lifting capacity and condition of
hoists, slings, cables, or chains before use.
Using underrated or worn lifting components can
result in death or serious injury.
• Support the machine using properly rated
jackstands. Never work under a machine
supported only by a jack.
• Do not use wood or concrete blocks to
support the machine. Failure to properly
support the machine may result in death or
serious injury.
