SAFETY
•
Do not use the work equipment or swing to pull the load in
any direction.
There is a danger that the lifting eye may be damaged due to
abnormal loading making it unsafe to lift.
•
The operator or person attaching the sling should inspect
the bucket link lifting device and all the components in the
load line (e.g. chains, shackles etc.) visually for damage or
deformation before use to ensure that they are not dam-
aged or worn.
Any damaged, deformed or worn parts should not be used
and must be replaced.
•
Where possible the lifting operation should be carried out
with the bucket curled in order to increase visibility and
prevent any obstruction or deflection of the sling or chain
away from the vertical position.
•
If the load is to be lifted at a height where this is not possi-
ble, the sling or chain must only be guided by the back wall
of the bucket and not any other part of the machine.
