- CRUSHING DANGER / SHEARING DANGER
Avoid all those situations which may result in crushing during vehicle stabiliza-
tion, crane movement and load handling.
The table indicates the minimum safety working distances concerning the
various parts of the body. The figures illustrate circumstances which may turn
out to be dangerous if you fail to respect the minimum safe distances and if it is
impossible to introduce larger parts of the body.
(In conformity with EN 349 standard the minimum safe working distances
to avoid crushing parts of the body)
(!) ATTENTION (!)
Failure to respect the minimum safe distances may result in a safety
hazard and a deadly risk.
(!) ATTENTION (!)
For designated areas as: outrigger running towards rest position, leaning
and folding points of the booms in rest position, control platform and
swinnig column, top seat and running inner boom, where no carter is pos-
sible to be placed, please observe the shear and trapping hazard stickers
nearly placed.
- ELECTROCUTION DANGER
General safety precautions for the operator and potential co-workers.
(!) ATTENTION (!)
Respect the safety distances from electric lines; the minimum distance is,
according to CEN norms, five (5) meters, except for otherwise prescribed
by national norms.
Failure to respect the minimum safe distances may result in
electrical hazards for the operator and his assistants.
If the crane comes into contact with an electric line, it's necessary to follow the next
procedure:
-
If the crane hits an overhead power line, do not touch the crane, the truck or the load.
- Carefully evaluate the danger before moving. If you are closer than 10 meters from the
crane, the truck, the load or the electric line, move at least 10 meters away, by shuffling
away with small steps, in order to minimize the chance of getting a too high voltage diffe-
rence between the feet.
- Warn others to stay away.
-
Call for help and contact the power company to de-energize the line. Do not attempt to
assist someone in direct or indirect contact with the power line before the power has been
disabled: you run the risk of being electricuted yourself.
