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.

operating, remove all jewelry, tie back long hair
and keep hands, other body parts and clothing
away from moving/rotating parts.

attached properly to the machine before
starting the engine. Do not start the engine if
