Please use the following guidelines when operating The Manipulator.

1. Keep in mind the total weight of the unit is 260 pounds.
   
   • Use proper lifting techniques.
     
   • Use the supplied lifting handles that are red in color.
     
   • Use enough manpower to maneuver sufficiently and safely.
     
2. Keep hands away from pinchpoint areas.
   
3. Do not exceed 10,000psi on OTC hand pump.
   
   • OTC handpump and hose assembly are rated at 10,000psi.
     However, in field testing it was found that it takes less than
     10,000psi to adequately move the rail.
     
4. Loosen needle valve to retract OTC single acting cylinder.
   
5. Removing clips from both outside and inside of rail will ease
   operation. This also promotes longer life for The Manipulator.
   
6. When lifting The Manipulator with a crane, position hook or sling
   at "vee" clip on handle assembly, which is at the balance point.
