Instructions on fastening loads
• The help of an accompanying person is necessary for securing and detaching the load.
• The load must be secured so as to prevent it from falling or slipping.
• Fasten the lifting gear so that it is not possible to unhook the sling unintentionally.
• Position the lifting gear ensuring the sling is not deflected by other parts.
• Do not use any lifting gear and slings that are damaged or not of sufficient size.
The lifting gear must be designed to withstand the loads that can arise in the different
positions of the work equipment or parts of the boom. Lateral loads and diagonal tensile
forces must also be taken into account.
• The sling must be checked regularly by a technician, at least once a year. Replace
damaged slings immediately.
• Fasten lifting gear and slings avoiding danger (rotating parts, crushing or shearing) for
the person securing the load. Furthermore, neither must the work equipment be
affected by the lifting gear, nor must the functions of the lifting gear be affected by
external influences (for example dirt that cannot be removed by simple means).
• Do not place slings over sharp edges.
• Always wear protective gloves, a hard hat and safety boots when working with lifting
gear, slings and cables.
• The persons attaching or securing loads may approach the boom from the side only,
and only after the machine operator has given his permission. The machine operator
may give his permission only after the machine is at a standstill and the work
attachment no longer moves.
