[[File:Warning-crush.jpg|frameless|116x116px]][[File:Warning bhs sign (1).JPG|frameless]] '''KEEP HANDS, ARMS, FEET, LEGS, HAIR, AND JEWELRY OUT OF THE TRAVEL PATH WHILE THE UNIT IS OPERATING'''

=== LOADING THE PLATFORM ===
The load capacity rating is noted by the model number stamped in the model/serial tag located on the control panel. The capacity rating is the maximum load for a standard TCD model with a standard inner frame. Modifications and additions to this unit shall not be made without prior written consent from the manufacturer. Where special attachments are installed on the unit after shipment, deduct the weight of these from the load capacity rating to obtain the new maximum capacity.

[[File:Warning bhs sign (2).JPG|frameless]]

* '''NEVER EXCEED THE LOAD CAPACITY RATING.''' Overloading the unit will result in severe personal injury or death, cause structural damage to the unit, shorten the life of the unit, and void the unit’s warranty.

[[File:Notice sign.jpg|frameless]]

* '''ALWAYS BALANCE & CENTER THE LOAD''' Balanced and centered loads will promote the longest life of the unit and ensure even wear on all moving parts.
* '''ALWAYS SECURE THE LOAD''' A balanced and secure load is the safest means of lifting the load.

# Lower the platform to the fully lowered position by holding the ⬇'''DOWN⬇''' option.
# Transport the load to the TCD platform. [[File:Warning bhs sign (1).JPG|frameless]] '''ALWAYS transport the load to and from the platform using an approved and certified cart.'''

These recommendations are based on average use in a typical warehouse environment and may need adjustment based on individual circumstances. Dusty and/or extreme hot/cold environments may require more frequent lubrication.

<nowiki>*</nowiki> BHS recommends implementing an oil sampling and analysis program to monitor fluid condition and determine when hydraulic fluid change is required. The fluid analysis program should be a continuous process and all results should be evaluated. Changes in the condition of the hydraulic system may indicate component wear, fluid deterioration, and contamination.

=== RESERVIOR CAPACITIES (Approx.) ===

* HCO0O2-4 0.8 Gal (3.0 L)

The reservoir should be filled so the fluid level is within a half inch (1/2”) of the top of the reservoir, while the unit is in the fully lowered position. Use Chevron AW-32 or equivalent ISO 32 grade hydraulic oil.

[[File:Notice sign.jpg|frameless]]

'''Hydraulic fluid should not exceed 140°F (60°C) for extended periods.'''

[[File:Notice sign.jpg|frameless]]

* '''DO NOT clean this unit with a high pressure wash.'''
