31. Always store the crane in its stowed position for
transportation.
32. Remember the overall height of the entire unit for
garage door clearance or when moving under
objects with low overhead clearance
33. Disengage power takeoff (PTO) before moving
the vehicle.
34. Always walk around the vehicle before moving.
35. Never drive with a load suspended from crane.
36. Do not take your eyes off a moving load. Look
in the direction you are moving.
37. Never swing a load over people.
38. Do not stop the load sharply in midair so that it
swings like a pendulum. Meter the control levers
to avoid this situation.
39. Crane boom length should be kept as short as
possible for maximum lifting capacity and greater
safety. Longer booms require additional care in
accelerating and decelerating the swing motion,
and thus slow down the working cycle and reduce
productivity.
40. Keep the load directly and vertically under the
boom point at all times. Crane booms are
designed primarily to handle vertical loads, not
side lifts.
WARNING: Never attempt to lift, drag, tow or
pull a load from the side. The boom can fail far
below its rated capacity.
41. Do not push down on anything with boom
extensions, lift or outer boom function.
42. Do not lift personnel with any wire rope
attachment or hook. There is no implied
warranty or responsibility for such purposes.
43. WARNING: In using a safety hook, ALWAYS
close the hook throat before lifting a load. Proper
attention and common sense applied to the use of
the hook and various slings will prevent possible
damage to material being hoisted and may
prevent injury to personnel.
44. WARNING: Never place a chain link on the tip
of the hook and try to lift a load with the hoist.
45. WARNING: Never use a sling bar or anything
larger than the hook throat which could prevent
the safety latch from closing, thus negating the
safety feature.
46. If the crane is equipped with an optional winch:
do NOT allow personnel to ride on
loadline, hook, load, or any other device
attached to winch line.
do NOT extend boom without reeling off
line at the same time when using winch.
do pull load-block up against the boom tip.
47. Do not wrap the wire rope around sharp objects
when using winch.
48. WARNING: Never unreel last 5 wraps of cable
from drum.
