Fastening, guiding and removing loads
• Follow the applicable specific regulations for fastening, guiding and
removing a load.
• Wear protective equipment when fastening, guiding and removing
loads (e.g. a hard hat, safety glasses, protective gloves, safety
shoes).
• Do not place lifting and fastening gear over sharp edges or rotating
parts. Loads must be fastened so as to prevent them from slipping or
falling.
• Move loads only on horizontal, level and firm ground.
• Move loads close to the ground.
• In order to avoid oscillating movements of loads:
– Perform smooth, slow movements with the vehicle.
– Use cables to guide the load (do not use hands to guide).
– Bear in mind the weather conditions (for example the wind force).
– Keep a minimum safety distance from objects.
• The operator may allow the load to be fastened and removed only if
the vehicle and its attachment are not being moved.
• Danger zones must not overlap with the work zones of other vehicles.

Lifting gear applications
• The vehicle and the attachment must be certified for lifting gear ap-
plications.
• Observe the national regulations for lifting gear applications.
• Lifting gear applications are procedures involving raising, transporting
and lowering loads with the help of lifting and fastening gear.
• The help of an accompanying person is necessary for fastening, guid-
ing and removing the load.
• There must be nobody under the load.
• Stop the vehicle immediately and stop the engine if persons enter the
danger zone.
• Only operate the vehicle in lifting gear applications if the prescribed
lifting gear (e.g. joint rod linkage and load hook) and safety equip-
ment are present and functional (e.g. visual and audible warning
equipment, line break protection, stability table).
• Use only lifting and fastening gear certified by a test or certification
body, observe the inspection intervals. Adhere to the inspection inter-
vals .
• Only use undamaged attachments and shackles. No belts, slings or
cables.
• Do not use any lifting and fastening gear that is dirty, damaged or not
