5. Operate on smooth, level, finished floors only; do not use on ramps
or sloping floors.
6. To prevent accidental tipping, make sure load is centered on the
pallet jack’s forks.
a. Be aware that strong winds can affect the load’s stability.
7. Do not lift a load with fork tips only. This may cause damage to the forks
and personal injury if the rear of the pallet jack suddenly tips upward.
8. Know the weight of the load being lifted. Do not exceed the
maximum capacity (see Specifications). Overloading can cause
damage to or failure of the jack.
9. Never leave a loaded pallet jack unattended in the raised position.
Always lower the load to the floor.

HYDRAULIC PRECAUTIONS
DANGER! Seek immediate medical attention if hydraulic fluid under
pressure penetrates your skin. See Injection Injury precautions for
instructions before using a pressurized hydraulic system.
1. Do not touch or handle hydraulic hoses or components while under
pressure. Hydraulic fluid escaping under pressure has sufficient force
to penetrate your clothing and skin. A pinpoint hole may inject
hydraulic fluid into your body. Seek immediate medical attention if
this occurs (see Injection Injury).
2. Never exceed the hydraulic system’s load capacity (see
Specifications).
3. Do not adjust the hydraulic system’s relief setting. The settings are
pre-set by the factory.
4. Hydraulic oil under pressure is hot and can cause a burn injury if
touched, sprayed or spilled. Allow the hydraulic system to cool before
conducting maintenance.
5. Hydraulic components require regular inspection. Release all pressure
from the system before you inspect it. Replace damaged hydraulic
parts with identical manufacturer's components.
6. Do not attempt makeshift repairs to a hydraulic system. Such repairs
can fail suddenly and create a hazardous condition.
7. A damaged or disconnected hydraulic hose under pressure may whip
around and inflict personal injury or damage the work area. Secure
the hose to a fixed or permanent structure with clamps or cable ties.
8. Hydraulic fluid has a combustible flash point of 200°F (93°F). Do not
expose the fluid to an ignition source.
9. Change your clothing immediately if sprayed with hydraulic fluid.
Store clothing or rags contaminated with hydraulic fluid in an
approved metal safety can with a spring-closing lid and venting
designed to contain a fire.
10. Only use hydraulic fluid in the pump. Do not substitute or mix brake
fluid, or any other fluid, with the hydraulic fluid. This can result in a pump
failure and injure the user or bystander. It may also damage the pump.

INJECTION INJURY
DANGER! Seek immediate, professional medical treatment if fluid
penetrates your skin. It may feel like a pricking or sting. Do not wait
for the appearance of symptoms. A toxic reaction can occur from the
exposure. Delay in treatment can lead to amputation or death.
Inform the medical staff that you have a fluid penetration injury as soon as
you arrive at the medical facility. The severity of the symptoms will
depend on the type of fluid injected. Bring the Safety Data Sheet for the
fluid with you to the medical facility if possible.
INJECTION PRECAUTIONS
Fluid can penetrate the skin at 100 PSI pressure. Fluid escaping under
pressure from the tool has sufficient force to penetrate your clothing and
skin. Follow the precautions below to avoid an injection injury.
1. Always check for leaks wearing a face shield, safety goggles,
rubberized gloves and protective clothes.
2. Release all pressure from the system before you inspect it.
3. Do not use your hands to detect a fluid leak. Use a large piece of
wood, cardboard or paper and watch for discolouration.
4. Replace damaged parts with identical manufacturer's components to
ensure it is rated to handle the pressure.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Only charge a battery with a charger designed for that
purpose. Do not use modified chargers or a charger that does not
specify the voltage, amperage or recharge rate. Improper charging
can lead to the battery rupturing.
1. Do not expose the battery to heat or throw it in a fire. Keep any ignition
source, such as flames, sparks or embers away from the battery. The
contents are flammable and the battery may explode. Do not inhale
smoke issuing from the burning battery as it is toxic.
2. Do not disassemble or crush the battery as the contents are corrosive
and flammable. Exposure may cause an injury.
3. Tools with internal rechargeable batteries or removable battery packs
are designed to be used only with that battery configuration. Do not
mix different battery pack brands or use adapters to allow the use of
a battery pack with a different voltage. This can damage the tool’s
electrical mechanism and create a fire hazard.
