•
Seal off the danger zone.
•
The crane and the lifting gear must have suitable
dimensions.
•
Observe the machine's overall weight – see "Technical
data".
•
Wear protective clothing and equipment when
fastening, guiding and removing the machine (for
example a hard hat, safety glasses, safety boots).
•
Use only lifting and fastening gear certified by a test/
certification body (for example, cables, belts, hooks,
shackles), observe the inspection intervals.
•
Do not use any lifting and fastening gear that is dirty,
damaged or not of sufficient size.
•
Perform a visual check to ensure that all slinging
points are neither damaged nor worn (no widening, no
sharp edges, no cracks).
•
Have loads fastened and crane operators only guided
by experienced persons.
•
The person guiding the crane operator must be within
sight or sound of him.
•
Observe all movements of the machine and lifting
gear.
•
Secure the vehicle against unintentional movement.

•
Ensure an even load distribution (center of gravity!)
when fastening the lifting gear.
•
Ensure that no one is in, on or under the vehicle when
loading the vehicle.

Bear in mind the weather conditions (for example, the
