HARACTERISTICS
WARNING: This Ladder Lift is NOT intended for lifting hazardous materials, such
as explosives or radioactive substances.
The operator must verify that the Ladder Lift is intended to handle each load, in accordance with
the following requirements:
• The load must not exceed the maximum allowable weight specified under Maximum Load
Capacity (see SPECIFICATIONS).
• The maximum length, width and height of the load are not defined by fixed dimensions, but the
operator must verify that the load will not contact the ladder while being lifted. Note: This
does not include loads which would only hit the ladder if they rotate while hanging from the
wire rope; such loads should be constrained with guide ropes or other appropriate means, to
prevent rotation while lifting.

NVIRONMENT
The operator must determine whether the Ladder Lift is intended to be used in each work
environment, in accordance with the following restrictions:
WARNING: Never use Ladder Lift in dangerous environments.
• This Ladder Lift is not intended for use in any environment that is inherently dangerous to the
operator or likely to compromise the Ladder Lift's ability to function. Environments containing
explosives, caustic chemicals and other dangerous substances must be avoided when using
the Ladder Lift.
• Using the Ladder Lift in wet environments may require the operator to take special precautions:
Moisture on the ground diminishes the ladder's slip resistance, and without adequate
reinforcement of the feet, would constitute an unacceptably dangerous condition. Refer to
the ladder manufacturer’s directions about safe working surfaces.
WARNING: Moisture reduces slip resistance of ladder feet.
Although the Ladder Lift's exterior surfaces can tolerate some exposure to water vapor, they
are not designed to be waterproof. Submerging the Ladder Lift or using it in rain may
damage its components; these and similar conditions must be avoided.
