SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid problems a competent person should inspect all rigging hardware, stands and equipment before each use and periodically do a major inspection for signs of wear, abuse, and general adequacy, as well as perform any manufacturer-recommended preventive maintenance on schedule.  Observe all warnings and usage instructions in the full manual.  Use at your own risk.

Basic Usage: Ensure that the stand is positioned on hard stable surface, in suitable location, on firm ground and clear of overhead obstacles. Stabilize legs before lifting the tower or any load. When outdoors, secure the tower with braces or cables, in case of wind.
Check the cable, it should not show damaged or flattened areas nor broken strands.

Using the Winch: For Lifting the tower, turn the winch handle clockwise. For lowering the tower, turn the winch handle counter-clockwise.

Lock all the safety mechanisms (safety pins, knobs)
Loads must be centered & balanced on each lifting unit.
Safety chains must be installed on each item attached to the unit.
Leave a safety perimeter with a radius 5ft greater than the maximum height of the stands during lifting and lowering of loads.
During transport, close all the sections and lock the lifting carriage.
Do not attempt to move the stand when loaded or in the extended position.
