THE NATURE OF HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS

The use of air/hydraulic foot pumps is subject to certain hazards that cannot be prevented by mechanical means, but only by the

exercise of intelligence, care, and common sense. It is therefore essential to have owners and personnel involved in the use and opera-

tion of the equipment who are careful, competent, trained, and qualiﬁed in the safe operation of the equipment and its proper use. If

instructions are not followed, hazards such as pressurized hydraulic ﬂuid bursting from hoses or ﬁttings can happen, resulting in loss

of load, uncontrolled lowering or dropping of load. Tipping or slipping of load caused primarily by improper set up, overloading and off

centered loads can occur if instructions are not followed.
