SUMMARY OF SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR LIFTING
IN DIGGING MODE
To lift safely while in Digging Mode, the following items must be
evaluated by the operator and the work site crew.
• Condition of ground support.
• Excavator configuration and attachments.
• Weight, lifting height and lifting radius.
• Safe rigging of the load.
• Proper handling of the suspended load.
Tag lines on opposite sides of the load can be very helpful in
keeping a suspended load secure, if they are anchored safely to
control points on the ground.
Always engage the "Digging Mode" control on the Instrument
Panel before using the excavator for lifting work.
DANGER!
Unsafe use of the excavator while making rated lifts could
cause serious, potentially fatal injuries or extensive damage
to the machine or nearby property. Do not let anyone
operate the machine unless they've been properly trained
and understand the information in the Operation and
Maintenance Manual.
WARNING!
NEVER wrap a tag line around your hands or body.
NEVER rely on tag lines or make rated lifts when wind gusts
are more than 48.3 km/h (30 MPH). Be prepared for any wind
gust when working with loads that have a large surface
area.
WARNING!
If you need more information or have any questions or
concerns about safe operating procedures or working the
excavator correctly in a particular application or in the
specific conditions of your individual operating
environment, please consult your local
DOOSAN
representative.
