Safety Regulations
The
demolition
Grab should always be attached to an excavator of the correct weight,
class and capacity of machine. Refer to the data information plate on the grab and
consult the technical specifications in this manual. When in doubt contact the supplier.
The weight of the grab, increased by the weight of the load being picked up, must never
exceed the maximum allowance of lifting power. For further information consult the
excavator manual.
It is prohibited for people to be within the rotation range of the machine and grab. Keep in
mind that material being lifted that extrude from the grab will enlarge the rotation range.
It is always possible that material can fall out of the excavator’s grab. For this reason,
never rotate the machinery above people, machines nor vehicles.
Always pick up a long load at its centre of gravity, to prevent the excavator from either
rotating or tipping over. It is not permissible to use the grab to hit or pound.
Whilst connecting or disconnecting, lubricating or other maintenance work, the grab must
be stable and on a flat surface. Before performing lubricating or other maintenance work
the engine should always be shut down.
