2.6 Carrier, precautions
WARNING Falling carrier
If the load-bearing capacity of the carrier used is insuffi-
cient, the carrier will not be stable. It can topple over and
cause injuries and damage.
Using a carrier whose load-bearing capacity is too high
will greatly burden the hydraulic attachment causing it to
wear faster.
u Only attach the hydraulic attachment to a hydraulic
carrier of a suitable load-bearing capacity.
u The carrier must remain stable at all times.
u Read the carrier manufacturer's Safety and operating
Instructions before attaching the hydraulic attach-
ment to the carrier and operating it. Observe all in-
structions.
NOTICE Damage to the hydraulic attachment
Working with a hydraulic attachment mounted to a long
reach boom may cause damage to the hydraulic attach-
ment.
u Before working with a hydraulic attachment mounted
to a long reach boom consult the Epiroc Customer
Center / Dealer in your area.
2.7 Transport, precautions
WARNING Risk of death due to suspended loads
When lifting loads these can swing out and fall. This can
result in serious injuries or even death.
u Never stand underneath or in the swinging range of
suspended loads.
u Only move loads under supervision.
u Only use approved lifting equipment and lifting gear
with sufficient load bearing capacity.
u Do not use worn lifting gear (ropes, belts, chains,
shackles etc.).
u Do not place lifting gear such as ropes and belts on
sharp edges or corners, do not knot these or twist
them.
u When leaving the workplace, set down the load.
WARNING Injury due to swivelling load
When transporting the load by crane it can swivel and
cause severe injuries and considerable damage to prop-
erty.
u Ensure that no personnel, objects or obstacles are
located in the swivel range of the load.
