- To lift and transport heavy parts use cranes or hoists of adequate capacity. Sling the material as best you can.
Use eyebolts where required. Always check that no one is in the vicinity.
- If you need to remove or fi t units on the vehicle that need to be supported by hydraulic or pneumatic lifting
devices, check that they are of adequate capacity to support and handle the load.
Do not allow anyone to pass in the vicinity of the vehicle and absolutely do not allow anyone to stand
underneath the raised equipment even when you are certain that it is locked.
- Do not work on or under the vehicle if it is only supported by hydraulic or pneumatic lifting devices without
locking valves.
Do not work under or near a tool, a vehicle or parts of it that have been removed if they are not adequately
supported.
- If you need to make repairs at the top of the vehicle, use ladders or platforms compliant to the safety
regulations in force and always pay the utmost attention.
- Loads lifted with jacks is always dangerous.
Before operating on parts lifted with jacks, it is obligatory to position adequate supports to ensure that they
are securely supported.
