GENERAL
It is impossible to compile a list of safety precautions
covering all situations. However, there are basic principles
that must be followed during your daily routine. Safety is
your primary responsibility, since any piece of equipment
is only as safe as the person at the controls.
Read and follow the information located in Model Specific
Information near the end of this section.
This information has been provided to assist in promoting a
safe working atmosphere for yourself and those around you.
It is not meant to cover every conceivable circumstance
which could arise. It is intended to present basic safety
precautions that should be followed in daily operation. The
decals shown in this section are examples. Consult the Parts
Manual for specific decals installed on the equipment.
Because you are the only part of the equipment that can
think and reason, your responsibility is not lessened by the
addition of operational aids or warning devices. Indeed, you
must guard against acquiring a false sense of security when
using them. They are there to assist, not direct the operation.
Operational aids or warning devices can be mechanical,
electrical, electronic, or a combination thereof. They are
subject to failure or misuse and should not be relied upon in
place of good operating practices.
You are the only one who can be relied upon to assure the
safety of yourself and those around you. Be a professional
and follow the rules of safety.
Remember, failure to follow just one safety precaution could
cause an accident that results in death or serious injury to
personnel or damage to equipment. You are responsible for
the safety of yourself and those around you.

National Crane distributor must be immediately advised of
