DANGER
When removing or installing any equipment, take the following precautions and be careful to the safety
conditions.
Carry out installation and removal on a firm and flat surface.
When the operations are carried out by two or more operators, decide the communication signals in
advance and respect them during the operations.
Use a crane to handle objects weighing more than 25 kg.
Always support any heavy part before moving it. When heavy parts are lifted, be always careful to the
center of gravity of the object being handled.
It is very dangerous to carry out any operation with a suspended load, therefore, always position the
load on a support and make sure that it is in a safe position.
When installing or removing any equipment, make sure that it is stable and cannot fall down.
Do not stand under loads being lifted by a crane.
Take care to choose a safe position, where you do not run any risk in case the load should fall down.
IMPORTANT
Specialized personnel is required to operate cranes. Do not allow non-specialized personnel to use
cranes.
