Safe operation of this
equipment is your
responsibility.
NO PERSON
shall operate
this crane unless they have
received instructions for its
proper use from a qualified
person and have completely read the operators
manual.
Operator
When more than one person is involved in the
operation of the crane, one person should supervise
and give all orders, to avoid confusion and to
promote safety.
Refuse to handle loads
until safety has been
assured.
Test the stability of the
system before using.
Adjust if necessary.
Always transport loads as close to the floor as
possible.
Keep hands and feet clear
of crane base and wheels.
Also, in facing away from
crane while pulling, maintain
distance to prevent crane
from rolling into your own
heel.
Use standard hand signals when operating with
other persons. Make sure all concerned understand
signals to be used.
Make sure floor area over
which the crane travels is
level and free from debris
and other materials that
may interfere with normal
crane travel.
Use caution when working
near electrically charged lines or equipment.
DO NOT
use your crane to lift more than its rated
load. Load ratings are based on new equipment.
Age, wear, improper maintenance, and improper use
will reduce load ratings.
DO NOT
continue operation
of a crane damaged by misuse or overloading.
Never use two or more cranes to lift a load greater
than the capacity of a single crane - a shifting load
may place entire load on one unit.
Apply the load evenly, do not jerk or bounce or allow
the load to swing. Avoid violent motion and shock
loads.
People
DO NOT
lift or lower people or things over people
with this equipment.
DO NOT
exceed load ratings of other components in
the load lifting system-cables, slings, etc.
Never walk, stand or work
under a raised load.
Obey plant safety rules; obey a stop signal from
anyone.

Make sure load is totally disconnected from any
fasteners before lifting and transporting.
Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration of the
crane.
DO NOT
make sudden sharp turns while
