SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always read instructions before setting up the equipment and before use.
Failure to heed these warnings may result in damage to the equipment, or
serious personal injury.
WORKPLACE SAFETY
1. Always inspect the crane before use to ensure it is correctly assembled and
in good condition and replace any damaged or worn parts.
2. Only use the crane on a flat, solid, level surface that is capable of bearing
the weight of the loaded crane, preferably concrete. Never work on soft/
unmade ground as the castors may sink in.
3. Ensure the crane operator is trained in both operation and safety aspects.
4. Do not allow personnel to use the crane unless they have read these safety
precautions.
5. Use the crane in a suitable, well lit work area.which is clean and tidy and
free from unrelated items.
6. Do not use the crane when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol,
drugs or intoxicating medication.
7. Ensure all bystanders keep at a safe distance whilst the crane is in use.
8. Do not over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.
9. Safety equipment such as gloves and non-skid safety shoes will reduce
personal injuries.
INSPECTION BEFORE USE
1. Always visually inspect the crane before use, to ensure that all parts are
correctly located and secure. Check for cracks, deformation or other signs
of damage or worn parts and check the castors for damage.
Do not use
the crane unless it is totally sound.
2. Check castors to ensure they move freely without undue wear to their
pivots, and that the wheels are not cracked or damaged.
SAFE OPERATING PRACTICE
1. Only use chains, slings, hooks etc. with a rated capacity equal to, or
greater than that of the load. Check that they are secure and will not slip
under load.
2. Never exceed the safe working load capacities specified on the jib for
each position (as marked on the jib).
