Page: 4 / 100

Always Maintain Labels
The warning labels on various parts of the machine
provide important instructions for safe operation.
Always keep the labels (decals) clean and visible.
Should labels become lost or damaged, order re-
placements from the nearest authorized TADANO
distributor or dealer.
Wear Proper Clothing
Sloppy clothing may result in sleeves or cuffs being
caught and then cause an accident.
Wear Approved Protective Gear
To ensure safety, always wear a hard hat and safety
shoes. Also protective goggles, dust mask,
earplugs, work gloves, safety belt, etc. must be
worn as the situation requires. Check that all protec-
tive gear is in good condition before wearing it.
Avoid Overwork. Never Operate under
the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs
If the operator is tired, lacking in sleep, or under the
influence of medication or alcohol, the probability of
an accident event is greatly increased since atten-
tiveness and judgment are impaired. Maintain
proper physical fitness for crane operation.
Keep All Footings and Shoes Clean
Oil, water or mud on soles of shoes, steps or decks
can cause slip off and fall mishaps or cause acci-
dental release of a control pedal. Always remove oil,
mud, water or snow before operation and keep
shoes and floor of the operator ’ s cab clean.
Do not leave any parts or tools on the operator
’
s
cab floor or passageway.
