ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Dispose of waste properly! Improperly disposing of waste
can threaten the environment.
Potentially harmful waste used in Manitowoc cranes includes
— but is not limited to — oil, fuel, grease, coolant, air
conditioning refrigerant, filters, batteries, and cloths which
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 crane 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.
• Immediately clean up any spills.
FINAL WORD
Safety precautions are very seldom the figment of
someone’s imagination. They are the result of sad
experiences-most likely personal injury. Heed these
precautions and you will protect yourself and others
accordingly. Disregard them and you may duplicate the sad
experiences of others.
Pressure Testing Make sure all test equipment is in good
condition.
Use only specified gauges.
Comply with test procedures specified. Inhibits damage to the system or the
equipment and inhibits the possibility
of personal injury.
Parking Do not park or attempt to service the
crane on an incline. If unavoidable
block the tires.
Inhibits serious injury and/or death.
Wheels and Tires Do not overinflate the tires. Over-inflation can cause tires to burst
and could result in injury.
