Loading The Trays
Make certain the glazier package is properly
installed before using it on the job.
When placing glass, or similar panel material,
on the trays, always center it on the trays to
make sure the weight is evenly balanced on
the platform. Secure the load using the straps
provided, making sure the strap protectors are
placed against the rough edges of the load to
help prevent damage to the strap. Replace the
strap if it becomes worn or frayed.
Storage
When the glazier package is not in use, the
straps and Operator’s Manual should be placed
in the storage box.

Important Safety Information
Safety Practices
The following safety practices may be used as a
guide while using the glazier package on the job.
The operator bears ultimate responsibility for
following all manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings, regulations and safety rules of their
employer and/or any state or federal law.
Platform Capacity
The platform rated work load is the total weight of
the personnel and equipment that may be lifted
in the platform. The work load is stated on the
platform rating placard mounted on the toeboard
at the rear of the platform.
The maximum total load carried by the glazier
trays must not exceed 250 lb (113 kg). The
weight of the load in the trays reduces the plat-
form capacity by the amount of the load.
Protective Gear
Make certain to wear proper protective gear to
help prevent personal injury while handling
glass. The operator bears ultimate responsibility
for following all manufacturer’s instructions and
warnings, regulations and safety rules of their
employer and/or any state or federal law.

indicate danger, warning, and caution instructions.
Follow these instructions to reduce the likelihood
of personal injury and property damage. The
terms danger, warning, and caution indicate vary-
ing degrees of personal injury or property damage
that can result if the instruction is not followed.
