PRECAUTIONS FOR LIFTING OPERATIONS

Do not carry out lifting work on slopes, soft ground, or other places where the machine is not stable.
Use wire rope that conforms to the specified standard.
Determine the signals to be used and place a signalman in position.
To prevent the danger of contact with a raised load or the danger from a falling load, do not allow any worker inside
the area.
It is dangerous if a raised load hits any person or structure. When operating the swing or work equipment, always
check carefully that the surrounding area is safe.
Do not start, swing, or stop the machine suddenly. There is a hazard that the lifted load will swing.
Do not use the work equipment or swing to pull the load in any
direction. There is danger that the hook may break and the load
come off, causing the work equipment to move suddenly and
cause personal injury.
Do not leave the operator's seat when there is a raised load.
