Safety Warnings!DANGERDO NOT USE THE JACK TO SUPPORTOR STABILIZE A LOAD. Using the jackto support or stabilize a load may resultin unexpected movement and result inserious injury, being crushed and death.Always securely chock and block (stabilize)the load to be lifted. Never place any partof the body under a raised load withoutproperly chocking and supporting the load.Using the jack on curved or tubular vehiclebumpers will result in the vehicle slippingoff the jack and falling, causing seriousinjury or death. Use the Bumper Lift orLift-Mate to lift most vehicles with curvedbumpers or plastic bumpers.When using the jack as a winch:Always use chains or tow straps that havea greater working load than the jack. If achain or tow strap breaks while winching,the load could shift or the chain or towstrap could snap back.When used as a winch, the top clampclevis will support up to 5,000 lbs. (2273kg). Going over this limit will result in thetop clamp-clevis bending or breaking,causing the load to move or the chain ortow strap to snap back. This will result inserious injury or death.When using the jack for clamping, themaximum clamping force of the standardtop clamp-clevis is 750 lbs. (340 kg). Ifyou exceed this limit, the standard topclamp-clevis could bend or break, resultingin serious injury or death.Unexpected movement of the jack handlemay result in the user being struck causingserious injury or death.
