WARNING

Pilot-operated overcenter valves which are active during manual valve

operation may allow the operator to lift a load which exceeds limits,

but when control lever is released, load will automatically lower.

Before lifting load, check all rigging (lines, slings, chains, pallets, etc.)

for correct attachment to load and rated capacity. Failure to check

these items may cause load to fall, resulting in injury to personnel.
