SAFETY RULES FOR LIFTING OBJECTS
q Determine the signals to be used and place a signalman in position.
q To prevent the machine from tipping over or falling, carry out the operation on flat ground.
q To prevent the danger of contact with a raised load or the danger from a falling load, do not allow any worker
inside the area.
q It is dangerous if the raised load hits any person or structure. When swinging or operating the work equipment,
check carefully that the surrounding area is safe.
q Do not swing or operate the work equipment suddenly. There is danger that this may cause the load to sway
and the machine to tip over.
q Do not leave the operator's seat when there is a raised load.
q Do not use the work equipment or swing to pull the load in
any direction. There is danger that the hook may break and
the load come off, causing the work equipment to move sud-
denly and cause personal injury.
