DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
To prevent tipping or structural failure of components:
• Install the carbody counterweight before installing the
crane counterweight.
Crush Hazard!
To prevent serious crushing injury:
• Do not stand on, under, or in front of the crane
counterweight while it is lifted.
WARNING
Moving Equipment Hazard!
Before raising the counterweight tray, make sure the
handling chains are hanging vertical from side-to-side and
front-to-back.
Failure to do so may result in injury caused by the
counterweight swinging as it is lifted off the ground.
