3. SAFETY
!! In all cases: if in doubt, consult Bakker Hydraulic Products BV!
-
Before moving the hook grab, create a “safety zone” for the working area.
- Never move the hook grab when there are people in the working area.
- Never lay the hook grab in a container with the piston rods out.
This can damage the piston rods, resulting in sealing problems.
- Avoid sideways forces on the hooks, such as knocking against the edges of
a container. This can cause the piston rods to become distorted.
- The hook grab should never be put vertically into a container or onto the
ground using full force. Put the hook grab down carefully to avoid damage.
- Disregarding instructions, warnings and/or safety measures can cause
injury.
- The hook grab must not be used in a manner or for a purpose other than
that for which it was designed and intended.
- Before work is carried out on the hook grab, always disconnect the
hydraulics.
- Cylinders on which a load is suspended can be under pressure. Only
disassemble the lines when the cylinder can no longer be moved by the
external load.
- Do not operate the hook grab with damaged, missing or incorrect working
components.
- If the machine is not functioning properly, stop the machine immediately.
- The working, opening and moving of containers is never without risk and
requires some experience. New operators of the attachment should be
instructed by experienced operators on how to use the hook grab.
- When opening a container, the contents (glass) may jump up. Ensure that
no one is in the immediate area before moving or opening a container.
- Never stand under the load.
- Nothing should
ever
be lifted with the closed catch.
