WARNING
CRANE SYSTEM
•
Always refer to the range diagram BEFORE making any lift. It is
extremely important that the crane is properly leveled to prevent
overstressing.
•
Do not operate crane unless outriggers are set up. Always chock front
wheels when using outriggers. Failure to comply may result in injury
or death to personnel.
•
When using crane on any vehicle, park vehicle clear of all overhead
powerlines. If operating crane under power lines, do not allow vehicle
to contact high-voltage connections. Failure to comply will result in
death to personnel.
•
Do not stand under crane. Failure to comply may result in injury or
death to personnel.
•
Refuse to work with worn, frayed, or damaged wire rope. Always wear
heavy gloves when handling winch cables; never let cable run
through hands. Frayed cables can cut. Never operate winch with less
than five wraps of cable on winch drum. Failure to comply may result
in injury or death to personnel.
•
When using crane on any vehicle, park vehicle clear of all overhead
power lines. Do not operate crane near overhead power lines. Failure
to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
•
Boom has a 370 degree rotation and is mechanically stopped at five
degrees on either side of the left outrigger beam. Swing operations
must be slowed no later than 15 degrees prior to contacting the stop.
•
Keep boom clear of electrical powerlines and other obstacles. Do not
operate crane near overhead powerlines. Failure to comply will result
in death to personnel.
•
Avoid quick, jerking, winch operation. Keep other personnel well
away from vehicles involved in winching operations. A snapped cable
or shifting load can cause serious injury or death.
•
If possible, keep one hand away from equipment to reduce the hazard
of current flowing through vital organs of the body.
•
Keep fingers clear of top of lift-hook. Failure to comply could result in
personnel injury.
