Do not leave long hair untied and do not wear loose clothing or jewellery
(including rings) during work. These could get caught or pulled into the unit
and result in injury.
Use your personal protective gear whenever necessary or prescribed.
Observe all safety instructions and warnings on the truck crane.
Keep all safety instructions and warnings on the truck crane in a legible
condition.
Observe the operational organisation at the site. Report your arrival to site
management. Ask for the personnel authorised to instruct you.
Find out where the fire extinguishers are and how to operate them at every
site.
Note the fire alarm and fire fighting facilities.
Should the operating behaviour of the truck crane change in such a manner
that safety is impaired or if you are in doubt about the operational safety of
the truck crane, stop the truck crane immediately and inform the responsi-
ble departments or persons.
Do not make any changes to the programmable control systems (e.g. the RCL).
Do not modify or retrofit the truck crane without the consent of the manu-
facturer if such changes would affect the safety. This also applies to:
– the installation of safety devices,
– the adjustment of safety devices and valves.
All welding work (especially on load carrying members) may only be per-
formed by qualified professional personnel with the prior written permis-
sion of Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH.
To avoid damage, especially to electronic parts, there are certain measures
you must take before doing any welding work. You should therefore always
consult Manitowoc Crane Care before any welding work.
