Shipping Information
Your equipment was carefully checked before shipping. Nevertheless, you should thoroughly inspect
the shipment
before
you sign to acknowledge that you received it.
When you sign a bill of lading, it tells the carrier that the items on the invoice were received in good
condition.
To protect yourself, do not sign until
after
you have inspected the shipment.
If any of
the items listed on the bill of lading are missing or are damaged, do not accept the shipment until the
carrier makes a notation on the bill of lading that lists the missing and/or damaged goods.
If you discover missing or damaged goods
after
you receive the shipment and have signed the bill of
lading, notify the carrier at once and request the carrier to make an inspection. If the carrier will not
make an inspection, prepare a signed statement to the effect that you have notified the carrier (on a
specific date) and that the carrier has failed to comply with your request to make an inspection.
It is difficult to collect for loss or damage after you have given the carrier a signed bill of lading. If this
happens to you, file a claim with the carrier promptly. Support your claim with copies of the bill of
lading, freight bill, invoice, and photographs, if available.
Our willingness to assist in helping
you process your claim does not make us responsible for collection of claims or
replacement of lost or damaged materials.
Safety
Refer to ANSI/ALI ALIS Standard Safety Requirements for Installation and Service of Automotive Lifts

Important Safety Instructions
When using your garage equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot parts; you could be burned. Always use care with the equipment.
3. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or
damaged—until it has been examined by a qualified service person.
4. Do not let a cord hang over the edge of a table, bench, or counter or come in contact with hot
manifolds or moving fan blades.
5. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or greater than that of the
equipment should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled out.
6. Always unplug equipment from electrical outlets when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the
plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.
7. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around equipment when
storing.
8. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable
liquids (gasoline).
9. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines.
10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of your body away from moving parts.
