OPERATION
SAFETY RULES
GENERAL:
1. Since the manufacturer has no direct control over machine application and operation,
conformance with good safety practice is the responsibility of the owner and operator.
2. 3.
4. The operator shall be responsible for those operations under his direct control. Whenever
there is any doubt as to safety, the operator shall have the authority to stop and refuse to
handle loads until safety has been assured.
5. The operator shall not engage in any practice which will divert his attention while actually
operating the crane.
6. Do not run the engine in an enclosed area or indoors without adequate ventilation.
7. Do not use ether for starting. Ether is highly flammable and can be ignited by the intake
manifold heater grid, causing engine damage or operator injury.
8. This list of rules is only a supplement to all federal, state, and local safety rules that may
apply.
CRANE CONDITION:
1. Before beginning operation each day, thoroughly inspect the entire crane to be sure it is in
good operating condition.
2. Inspect load hoist rope and wedge socket daily. We recommend rope inspection,
replacement and maintenance in accordance with ASME B30.5.
3. Keep operator's compartment free of mud and grease.
4. Keep all window glass clean. Keep displays clean.
5. Tools, lubricants, or rags on the crane should be kept in a secured toolbox.
6. 7.
