WARNING
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

¡ ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
Inspect the hoisting equipment daily

When hoisting, use a wire rope with
sufficient strength with respect to the
machine’s weight.

Do not hoist the machine with an
operator (s) on it.

¡ ¡
¡
When hoisting, hoist slowly so that the
machine does not tip.

¡ ¡ ¡
Keep all other persons out of the area
when hoisting. Do not move the
machine over the heads of the persons.

applles to machines with standard
specifications.
