Do Not Leave a Load Suspended
Do not leave a load in a hoisted position. Actuate
the winch brake to hold the load safely. Use working
procedures that minimize the duration a load is left
suspended.
Use the Crane Only for Approved
Applications
The crane is designed to lift a freely suspended ver-
tical load. Never attempt to lift persons, or push/pull
a load with the boom.
Do Not Anchor the Machine
Do not attempt to hold down the crane frame or out-
rigger or contrary side to the lifted load, using wire
rope.
This practice might lead to crane damage or an acci-
dents.
Do Not Add Counterweights
Installing a counterweight(s) other than those speci-
fied can damage the machine, or cause the machine
to overturn to the rear owing to decreased rearward
stability.
Never install or place a counterweight(s) or equiva-
lent other than those specified.
Do Not Position Any Part of Your Body
Out of the Window on the Boom Side
Sticking any part of your body out from the window
on the boom side can result in being caught be-
tween the moving boom and the window frame.
Serious injury or death can result from this danger-
ous practice.
If the window is equipped with a confining guard, do
not remove it.
Do Not Look Away from the Load While
Operating the Crane
Looking away from the load, eating or performing
any other action that can detract from awareness
while operating the crane is very dangerous.
During operation, concentrate all attention on the
load and the signal person.
