DANGER
It is mandatory that swing bearing and T-box attaching
bolts be inspected and re-torqued after the first 300 hours
of crane operation and every 500 hours thereafter. The
bolts may loosen and cause the crane to separate from
the carrier which will result in damage to the crane and
possible injury or death to personnel.
