Safety Summary

• Do not use this unit or attached equipment for lifting, supporting, or transporting people or lifting or
supporting loads over people.
• The supporting structures and load-attaching devices used in conjunction with these units must
provide a safety factor of at least three times the rated capacity of the unit. This is the customer's
responsibility. If in doubt, consult a registered structural engineer.
Ingersoll-Rand recognizes that most companies who are using these units have a safety program in force at
their facility. In the event that some conflict exists between a rule set forth in this publication and a similar
rule already set by an individual company, the more stringent of the two should take precedence.

not necessarily limited to the following list. Refer to specific sections in the manual for additional safety
information.
