T
he answer to that question
depends on your know-how,
mechanics. When using a crane
for heavy duty maintenance, a
lack of knowledge puts you, your
equipment and others in harm’s way.
You need to pay attention to
all ground guide instructions and
hand signals when using a crane,
NSN 3810-01-165-0646, to remove
big ticket items like rotor heads or
engines from aircraft.
If you don’t know all the hand
signals, learn them for crane
operations! Hand signals are posted
on the crane. Using them will keep
you from damaging other aircraft
parts and surrounding aircraft
as you remove components for
maintenance.
Knowledge and safety are key
when using the crane. So become
familiar with all data plate and
placard information posted on the
crane before you put it to use.
