OPERATE CRANE - Continued

WARNING

Do not exceed crane load lift limits. In manual operation, overload

protection device is not functional and safe crane limits could be

exceeded. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to

personnel.

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.

WARNING

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.

CAUTION

Continuous crane operation for extended periods of time may cause

hydraulic oil to overheat. Extended periods of high idle with PTO

pump engaged can also cause overheating. If controls start to stick

in open position or if overheating is suspected, discontinue crane

operations, shut off PTO pump, and notify your supervisor. Failure

to comply may result in damage to equipment.
