Tadano TM-1800 - User Manual

Most accidents that occur during crane operation and maintenance are caused by failure to
observe the basic safety rules and precautions. Before operating your crane or performing
maintenance, read and become familiar with all the safety precautions and recommenda-
tions given in this section. Remember that failure to observe even a single precaution could
involve you and the people around the crane in a serious accident.
Foreseeing potential dangers is vital for preventing accidents. All personnel working with
the equipment, including the supervisor and crane operator, should be sensitive to danger-
ous situations and take the necessary measures to prevent accidents.
Safety precautions and recommendations are outlined in this section and are also included
in the operation and maintenance instructions given in subsequent sections.
Warning labels are also provided on the crane .
The cautionary instructions in this manual and on the labels are identified as "DANGER",
"WARNING", "CAUTION" or "NOTICE". These terms are defined as follows:
[NOTICE]
NOTICE indicates an important operational or maintenance procedure or condition, which,
if not strictly observed, can result in damage to machine components or deteriorated
machine performance.
It is virtually impossible to anticipate every situation that might present a hazard. The safety
precautions given in this manual and on the crane decals are not exhaustive. It is important,
therefore, to strictly follow the instructions in this manual and be sensitive to potential dan-
gers in order to prevent bodily injury and damage to the equipment.
Remember that your most important duty is to ensure the safety of you, your co-workers
and any other people in the area.
