LIFTING CONSIDERATIONS
o
Plan the lift before engaging the load.
o
Use the lifter for its designated purpose only.
o
Never ride or allow riders on the lifter.
o
Do not lift loads beyond the lifter's rated capacity.
o
Before moving a load, be sure the path of the load is clear of obstructions and personnel. Take
instructions only from the person designated to give signals.
o
Make sure everyone is in a safe place before moving the load. This includes the operator who should
remain at a safe distance and should not push or touch the load.
o
Align the lifter perpendicular to the path of travel before attempting to move the load.
o
Raise the lifter only as high as necessary to clear obstacles.
o
Warning: Never move loads over people, or let loads bump or catch on any obstruction. Injury or
damage may result.
o
Keep the load level. Avoid sudden starts and stops that may cause the load to swing like a pendulum
and strike an object or person.
o
Do not leave a suspended load unattended.
