CD15 OPERATOR MANUAL SAFETY INFORMATION
When lifting a load the boom may deflect causing the load
radius to increase—this condition is made worse when the
boom is extended. Ensure weight of load is within crane’s
capacity on Load Chart.
Avoid sudden starts and stops when moving the load. The
inertia and an increased load radius could tip the crane over
or cause it to fail structurally.
Use tag lines (as appropriate) for positioning and restraining
loads. Check the load slings before lifting.
Be sure everyone is clear of the crane and work area before
making any lifts.
Never swing over personnel, regardless of whether load is
suspended from or attached to the boom.
Hand Signals
A single qualified signal person shall be used at all times
when:
• Working in the vicinity of power lines.
• The crane operator cannot clearly see the load at all
times.
• Moving the crane in an area or direction in which the
operator cannot clearly see the path of travel.
At all times use standardized hand signals (Figure 2-10) -
previously agreed upon and completely understood by the
operator and signal person.
If communication with the signal person is lost, crane
movement must be stopped until communications are
restored.
Keep your attention focused on the crane’s operation. If for
some reason you must look in another direction, stop all
crane movement first.
Obey a signal to stop from anyone.
