Very good observation, Chris, they put the warning on the bottom so you
will have something to read while laying there for help to come ... if
you can get help ,, I purchaced a set of roll on and up you know drive
up type.. and found that if you didn't (on a concrete floor ) wood under
they will slide all the way to the end of the garage.. they are safer
and i allways use extra blocks on the wheels and leave a hydraulic jack
in place fitt snug..
thatnks though for the reminder to those who still are using the wheels,
concrete blocks, and piles of 2x4's.
we also have to stay healty and alive to enjoy these time takers ,, iam
up to 1 hour(drive time) per every 12 hours (work)
