7. Make sure work area is clear of people and obstacles prior to
dumping or unloading containers. SwapLoader strongly
recommends that a back up alarm be installed on the truck
chassis. The operation of the hook hoist is that the truck is
backed up to the body to pick it up and so there is a potential
pinch point between the body and the hook.
8.
Any container, which is on the hoist, MUST be unloaded
prior to performing any repairs or maintenance to the hoist.
Also,
DO NOT allow any person to work on or be under the
hoist in a raised position without first installing adequate
safety blocks to eliminate all possibility of the hoist
accidentally lowering. SwapLoader strongly recommends
that if possible the container should be dismounted from the
hoist prior to performing any maintenance to the hoist.
9.
It is the responsibility of the owner and/or installer to insure that any additional safety
devices required by state or local codes are installed on the SwapLoader Hoist and/or
Truck Chassis.
10.
Keep away from overhead power lines. Serious injury or
death can result from contact with electrical lines. Use care
when operating hoist near electrical lines to avoid contact.
11.
Avoid contact with high-pressure fluids. Escaping fluid
under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury.
Avoid hazardous conditions by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all
connections before applying pressure. Search for leaks with
a piece of cardboard, while protecting hands and body from
the high-pressure fluids.
12.
It is the responsibility of the owner to provide proper maintenance of the Safety Decals.
Regular inspection and replacing of Safety Decals that have any fading or damage which
would impair their function should be done (See the illustration on the following page for
location of Safety Decals).
