In order to avoid injury or accidents, observe the following instructions
when loading the vehicle.
• Seal off the danger zone.
• The crane and the lifting gear must have suitable dimensions.
• Take into account the vehicle’s overall weight.
• Use only tested ropes, belts, hooks, shackles (screw and socket pins
with lockable brackets) for fastening the vehicle.
• Have loads fastened and crane operators only guided by experienced
persons.
• The person guiding the crane operator must be within sight or sound
of him.
• The crane operator must observe all movements of the load and the
lifting gear. Secure the vehicle against unintentional movement.
• The crane operator may move a load only after making sure that the
load is safely fastened and nobody is within the danger zone, or after
receiving a signal from the signalman.
• The load must not be fastened by winding the lifting rope or chain
around it.
• Pay attention to load distribution when attaching the lifting gear. Note
the center of gravity.
• Load the vehicle only with the standard bucket empty and in transport
position.
• Ensure that no one is in or on the vehicle.
• Stay clear of a raised load.
• Observe the information in the notebook Earth-moving vehicles of the
civil engineering employers' liability insurance association and the
safety instructions in the operator’s manual see Towing, loading and
transport on page 30.
