General Safety Precautions
1. General Safety Precautions
Read and observe all Warning and Caution hazard alert messages
in this publication. They provide information that can help
prevent serious personal injury, damage to components, or both.
Please observe the following safety instructions in order
to maintain the operational and road safety of your
SAF-HOLLAND Liftgate:
1. You must be fully trained on the capabilities and the limitations
of this equipment to operate the equipment properly.
2. When operating the liftgate, always stand to one side of
the platform. Make sure that the area is clear of obstacles,
other personnel, fingers, arms, hands, legs, and/or feet.
Failure to keep area near your liftgate
clear could create a crush and/or pinch
hazard which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT exceed liftgate capacity when
raising or lowering platform.
Failure to avoid overloading the liftgate
may result in platform failure which,
if not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.
3. Make sure liftgate is in stowed position when not in use.
4. NEVER step off moving equipment. Only step off the
platform when it is in contact with the ground or at deck
height when entering the vehicle.
Failure to lower the platform to ground
level before stepping on or off platform
could result in mild to moderate injury.
5. Check for slippery surfaces before stepping off the
liftgate platform.
6. NEVER jump off the liftgate.
7. In an emergency situation, release the control switch to
stop the liftgate operation.
8. SAF-HOLLAND Liftgates require routine service, inspection,
and maintenance in order to maintain optimum performance,
proper operation, and to identify normal wear.
Failure to properly engage the vehicle
parking brake prior to operating or
maintaining liftgate may allow vehicle
movement which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
We highly recommend the use of only SAF-HOLLAND

Servicing Safety Precautions
1. DO NOT work underneath the liftgate without properly
supporting the raised platform and liftframe in
accordance with workplace safety requirements.
2. Never strike any part of the liftgate with a steel hammer.
3. Safety protection should always be worn as protection
from pressurized fluid spray, flying debris, and other
airborne matter when working with tools, power tools,
welding equipment, and dangerous chemicals.
NOTE: Never operate the liftgate with the vehicle running
unless instructed to by this manual for specific
service items.
Failure to turn off vehicle motor before
commencing work could allow vehicle to
move which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
4. While servicing or repairing equipment, always disconnect
the electrical power to the pump motor and ensure that
the platform and liftframe is supported on the ground or
secured in the travel lugs.
