•
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 machine against unintentional movement.

Raise the machine only after it is safely attached and the person
attaching the machine has given his approval.
•
Use only the slinging points provided for fastening the lifting gear (for
example cables, belts).

Do not attach the machine by twining the lifting gear (for example
cables, belts) around it.
•
Ensure an even load distribution (center of gravity!) when fastening the
lifting gear.
•
Ensure that no one is in, on or under the machine when loading the
machine.
•
Observe the national regulations (for example "Merkheft Erdbaumas-
chinen", leaflet on earth moving machines of the German employers'
liability insurance association for construction engineering).
•
Load the machine only in accordance with this Operator's Manual to
avoid damage to the machine.

Do not raise a machine that is for example stuck or frozen onto the
ground.

Bear in mind the weather conditions (for example the wind force,
visibility conditions).
