Object Handling

 If a lifted load should fall, any person nearby may be
struck by the falling load or may be crushed underneath it,
resulting in serious injury or death.
 When using the machine for craning operations, be sure
to comply with all local regulations.
 Do not use damaged chains or frayed cables, sables,
slings, or ropes.
 Before craning, position the upperstructure with the
travel motors at the rear.
 Move the load slowly and carefully. Never move it
suddenly.
 Keep all persons well away from the load.
 Never move a load over a person's head.
 Do not allow anyone to approach the load until it is safely
and securely situated on supporting blocks or on the
ground.
 Never attach a sling or chain to the bucket teeth. They
may come off, causing the load to fall.

Protect Against Flying Debris

 If flying debris hit eyes or any other part of the body, serious
injury may result.
 Guard against injury from flying pieces of metal or debris;
wear goggles or safety glasses.
 Keep bystanders away from the working area before
striking any object.

the overhead window when operating the machine.
