Object Lifting
Introduction
!MWARNING
Before lifting a load read the following:
Always use lifting tackle which is strong enough and
in good condition. Check the load weight before
choosing the lifting chains.
A bucket should be fitted when lifting. Check that the
load is not greater than the safe working load for the
bucket.
Use a signalman when lifting. Make sure you both
understand and use the recognised signals. Attach a
handline to the load. Make sure the person holding the
handline stands clear of the load and the machine.
Test the load by lifting it 25-50mm (1 or 2 inches) and
slowly manoeuvring it across the ground with the
controls.
Keep all persons clear of the load and machine while
the load is on.
Lower the load to the ground if you feel any instability
of the load or the machine.
Failure to take these precautions could result in death
or injury.

understands the laws and regulations concerning the use
of the machine as an earthmover and for object lifting.
If your machine has not been fitted with an approved lifting
device such as a hook or shackle, then it must not be used
to lift objects. Use the machine for its intended use only.
Your machine may be used to lift objects if it has been fitted
with an approved lifting device such as a hook or shackle,
if it has been tested, plated and certified for its safe working
load, and if all other regulation requirements have been
met.
