have come into contact with these environmentally harmful
substances.
Handle and dispose of waste according to local, state, and
federal environmental regulations.
When filling and draining equipment components, observe
the following:
• Do not pour waste fluids onto the ground, down any
drain, or into any source of water.
• Always drain waste fluids into leak proof containers that
are clearly marked with what they contain.
• Always fill or add fluids with a funnel or a filling pump.

Never operate a damaged or poorly maintained equipment.
National Crane continues to recommend that equipment be
properly maintained, regularly inspected and repaired as
necessary. National Crane reminds equipment owners to
ensure that all safety decals are in place and legible. Refer to
the Appendix A, of this Manual for the locations of safety

National Crane continues to urge equipment owners to
upgrade their equipment with rated capacity limiter and
control lever lockout systems for all lifting operations.
Shut down the equipment while making repairs or
adjustments.
Always perform a function check after repairs have been

performed when structural or lifting members are involved.
Follow all applicable safety precautions in this manual when
performing equipment maintenance as well as equipment
operations.
Keep the equipment free of mud, dirt, and grease at all times.
