10.Use the right Ramp for the job. Do not attempt to force a small Ramp to do the work of a larger industrial Ramp. There are certain applications for which this Ramp was designed. Do not modify this Ramp and do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not intended.
11.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not set up and use the Ramp when you are tired.
12.Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Note: Dents or other imperfections in the Ramp may lead to a weakening of the structural strength of this product; do not use the ramp if this type of damage is noted.
13.Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty.
14.Do not use this product if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs.
If there is any doubt, do not use the Ramp.
15.Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a quali- fied technician.
16.Ground contact. Use your Ramps on a solid, level, flat, dry surface. Make sure the
Tongue edge fully contacts the tailgate of the vehicle.
17.Clean Ramps. Prior to each use, clean dirt, oil, or any debris off ramps.
18.Load vehicle slowly. Never ride a vehicle up or down the load ramp.
19.Never exceed the 1000 lb. per pair, or 500 lb. per single Ramp maximum weight capac- ity. Doing so can result in personal injury and/or damage to the ramp. Be aware of dynamic loading! If you drop a load on the ramp or if the load bounces, it may create, for a brief instant, an excess load which may result in damage to the ramp and/or personal injury.
Check maximum tailgate weight capacity. Never exceed this capacity if tailgate capacity is less than 1,250 lb.
20.Use Safety Chains to prevent ramps from sliding off tailgate only.
21.WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
