LIFTING OPERATION BY USING BUCKET WITH HOOK
PRECAUTIONS FOR LIFTING OPERATIONS
Falling of a lifted load or tipping over of the machine can cause serious personal injury or death. Always observe
the following.
• Do not perform lifting work on slopes, soft ground, or other places where the machine is not stable.
• Use wire rope that conforms to the specified standard.
• Do not perform any lifting operation with a load heavier than the specified lifting load. It may cause a seri-
ous accident such as tipping over of the machine.
• Determine the signals to be used and place a signalman in position.
• Prohibit anyone to enter into place where there is danger of contact with a lifted load or the danger from a
falling load.
• It is dangerous if a lifted load hits any person or structure. When operating the swing or work equipment,
always check carefully that the surrounding area is safe.
• Do not start, swing, or stop the machine suddenly. It is dangerous that the lifted load may swing.
• Do not use the work equipment or swing to pull the load in
any direction. There is danger that the hook may break
and the load come off, causing the work equipment to
move suddenly and cause personal injury.
• Do not leave the operator's seat while the load is being lift-
ed.
