5.4 Using a Digital-Approved Lifting Device
WARNING
To prevent injury, always use either a Digital-approved lifting device or
two people when lifting an object weighing more than 18.2 kgs (40 lbs).
The procedure for using a Digital-approved lifting device to lift a storage device is
as follows:
1. Place the lifting device in an upright position with the lift platform facing
away from the operator.
2. Make sure sufficient open space for extending the lift platform.
3. Support the top of the lifting device with one hand. With the other hand,
raise the lift platform holding latch from the cross bar to release it.
4. Lower the lift platform to its service position.
5. Check the hinges at the base of the lift platform to make sure they are fully
extended and locked.
6. Release the safety strap and move it off to one side so it will not become
tangled.
7. Move the lifting device to the storage device and center the lift platform
under the unit.
8. Slide the storage device to the back of the lift platform.
