Planer Jacks
1.0 SAFE OPERATING PROCEDURES & SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
CAUTION: Prior to use, the operator should be instructed by a qualified person in the safe and proper use of the jack for the specific
application.
IMPORTANT: Simplex makes no claim that the jacks covered by this document are suitable for any general or particular use and the user
assumes all liability arising there from. In addition, to comply with the requirements set forth by ANSI B30.1 Chapters 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3, all
jacks should be examined by a qualified person prior to each use for damage, proper lubrication, and wear.
IMPORTANT: The jack should be operated through one complete travel cycle prior to application of load to verify that all mechanisms
properly function, and the jack is in good working condition.
WARNING: Never exceed the rated capacity or travel of the jack. Select a jack of greater capacity than the estimated load allowing a large
margin of safety.
CAUTION: Never use a jack that is damaged, dirty, improperly lubricated, or malfunctioning. Jacks that fail inspection must be removed
from service until repaired by an authorized service center.
WARNING: Do not lift human cargo. Do not allow personnel on or under the load until lifting is complete and the load is secure with proper
load supports installed in accordance with OSHA safety and health standards. Ensure that supports have been inspected and approved
by a safety engineer or qualified person of authority.
IMPORTANT: Prior to operating the jack to lower the load, read operating instructions. Operator should perform the lowering process and
follow the procedure above, taking precautions that all personnel and parts of the human body are clear of the load before lowering.
IMPORTANT: Verify that jack capacity and travel is suitable for the load (Reference 2.0 Technical Specifications table).
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the jack is properly installed and rigidly secured prior to operating.
CAUTION: Make sure that the wrench used for operating the jack is of proper size to fit the hex section of the load screw without slipping.
CAUTION: Apply wrench torque in a controlled manner, making sure that the jack maintains proper alignment and observe during
operation for possible slippage or shift of load.
IMPORTANT: Prior to use, the operator should make sure that the area is clear of personnel and objects obstructing work space to safely
activate the wrench in both directions. The operator should also check the condition of attachments and make certain that all attachments
are properly secured.
WARNING: Do not exceed safe extension of load screw. Do not apply wrench torque to compress the load after load surfaces have made
contact with immovable objects. Do not strike with a hammer or force the wrench in a rocking motion. Such actions could dislodge the jack
creating a personal injury hazard.
CAUTION: A load should never be allowed to remain permanently supported or retained by jacks only. After load positioning is complete,
the load should be permanently secured or fixed retainers should be installed.
