RISK ASSESSMENT
QPP147 Section 4 Rev. March 07
A. INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE HAZARDS
RISK CONTROLS & GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
A1. Failure of controls or mechanical
parts of the crane.
A1. If there is a breakdown or malfunction of a control or crane component or part, repair or replace it
immediately. Do not, under any circumstances, start a crane, which requires some repairs.
A2. Equipment malfunctions from
incorrect tuning.
A2. Always keep the crane in good state of repair and serviced regularly. Use authorized Franna dealers or
service agents to keep the crane in top operating condition. Franna authorized dealers and service agents
thoroughly understand the Franna cranes, and are trained and equipped to ensure that you get the best
possible returns from your investment.
A3. Collision from a run-away crane if
not parked on level ground.
A3. When inspecting and maintaining the Franna crane, park on level ground and always engage the parking
brakes. Also place chocks under the wheels for additional safety.
A4. Inadvertent operation of the crane
during inspection and maintenance.
A4. Always place warning signs on the crane when it is being services or repaired. Whenever possible, stop
the engine and remove the keys.
A5. Mechanical failure of the boom
and/or jib after they have been
repaired.
A5. Use only authorized repairers to repair the boom or jib. Repairs of the boom or jib require specialized
techniques and training. Authorized Franna repairers are trained in these techniques.
A6. Burns from a hot radiator. A6. Observe caution when opening a radiator cap – the hot radiator coolant could spray out dangerously when
the cap is removed from a hot radiator. If you have to take the radiator cap off, wait until the coolant has
had time to cool. After the coolant has cooled, loosen the cap slowly and allow the pressure to dissipate
before completely removing it. Top up the radiator from the reserve tank and not the radiator.
