SAFETY MESSAGES
General
The importance of safe operation and maintenance cannot
be overemphasized. Carelessness or neglect on the part of
operators, job supervisors and planners, rigging personnel,
and job site workers can result in their death or injury and
costly damage to the equipment and property.
To alert personnel to hazardous operating practices and
maintenance procedures, safety messages are used
throughout the manual. Each safety message contains a
safety alert symbol and a signal word to identify the hazard’s
degree of seriousness.

NOTE:
Emphasizes operation or maintenance
procedures.
GENERAL
It is impossible to compile a list of safety precautions
covering all situations. However, there are basic principles
that
must
be followed during your daily routine. Safety is
your primary responsibility
, since any piece of equipment
is only as safe
as the person at the controls
.
Read and follow the information located in
Model Specific
Information
near the end of this section.
This information has been provided to assist in promoting a
safe working atmosphere for yourself and those around you.
It is not meant to cover every conceivable circumstance
which could arise. It is intended to present basic safety
precautions that should be followed in daily operation. The
decals shown in this section are examples. Consult the
Parts
Manual
for specific decals installed on the crane.
Because you are the only part of the equipment that can
think and reason, your responsibility is not lessened by the
addition of operational aids or warning devices. Indeed, you
must guard against acquiring a false sense of security when
using them. They are there to assist, not direct the operation.
Operational aids or warning devices can be mechanical,
electrical, electronic, or a combination thereof. They are
subject to failure or misuse and should not be relied upon in
place of good operating practices.
You are the only one who can be relied upon to assure the
safety of yourself and those around you. Be a
professional
and follow the
rules of safety
.
Remember
, failure to follow just one safety precaution could
cause an accident that results in death or serious injury to
personnel or damage to equipment. You are responsible for
the safety of yourself and those around you.
ACCIDENTS
Following any accident or damage to equipment, the
National Crane distributor must be immediately advised of
the incident and consulted on necessary inspections and
repairs. Should the distributor not be immediately available,
