The safety messages that follow have
WARNING level hazards.
Exhaust Hazard
All internal combustion engines
create carbon monoxide gas during
operation and special precautions
are required to avoid carbon
monoxide poisoning:
・Never block windows, vents or other means of
ventilation if the crane is operating in an
enclosed area.
・Always ensure that all connections are
tightened to specifications after repair is made
to the exhaust system.
Asbestos Dust Hazard
・Inhalation of air containing asbestos
dust may result in lung cancer.
・Make sure you use the appropriate
personal protection equipment if you
suspect that the worksite may
contain asbestos.
・Properly prepare the worksite to prevent
asbestos dust from being released into the
surrounding environment.
Entanglement / Sever Hazard
・
Verify there are no people, obstacles
or other equipment near the machine
before starting the engine. Sound the
horn as a warning before starting the
engine.
・Always stop the engine before
beginning service.
・If the engine must be serviced while it is
operating, remove all jewelry, tie back long hair
and keep hands, other body parts and clothing
away from moving/rotating parts.
・Verify that all machine guards and covers are
attached properly to the machine before starting
the engine. Do not start the engine if any guards
or covers are not properly installed on the
machine.
・Always turn the Starter Switch to the OFF
position after operation is complete and remove
the key from the switch. Keep the key in your
possession when the machine is not operating.
・Attach a “Do Not Operate” tag near the Key
Switch while performing maintenance on the

the influence of alcohol or drugs, or
when ill.
Piercing Hazard

hydraulic fluid or fuel can penetrate
your skin and result in serious injury.
If you are exposed to high-pressure
hydraulic fluid or fuel spray, obtain
prompt medical treatment.

your hands. Always use a piece of wood or
cardboard. Have your authorised Maeda dealer
or distributor repair the damage.
