☞ Observe all international, national and possible in-house regulations and
guidelines on loading.
☞ Have crane operators guided only by experienced persons that know the
required crane signals.

Incorrect fastening of lifting gear on the machine –
Risk of accidents.
☞ Have only experienced persons attach lifting gear.
☞ Use only the lifting points provided to this effect and marked accordingly for
attaching lifting gear.
☞ Perform a visual check to ensure that all lifting points are in good condition.
☞ If the machine is raised by means of the cab, a crane-handling bracket or
similar, check the screws and nuts of these components for tightness and
correct torque before attaching lifting gear to them.

machine.
☞ Do not place the lifting gear over sharp edges.
☞ Ensure that the lifting gear has the required lengths.
