The operator must have full supervision of the lifting trolley and all parts of the load for
the entire time it is in motion.
The lifting trolley must be used in such a way that injury to person or damage to property
never occurs.
Wear protective boots, and if the work task requires it, protective gloves and protective
clothing.
Manoeuvre the Newton 70 – 250 lifting trolley from the position behind the trolley handle.
The Newton 50 can be operated from different positions.
Never put your hands, arms or other body parts or objects in the lifting device when the
platform is raised.
Do not lower the platform unless the space below it and below the load is free from
people or obstructions.
Do not drive the loaded lifting trolley in its raised position. Be aware of the risk of tipping
for both the load and lifting trolley.
Never allow the lifting trolley to come into contact with nearby objects.
REMEMBER THAT THERE IS A GREAT RISK OF INJURY CAUSED BY CRUSHING
WHEN WORKING CLOSE TO MACHINERY!
Pay attention to the risk of collision with other mobile machines and equipment in the
workplace.
Safety devices must not be put out of service or removed.
Modifications to the lifting trolley that affect operational safety are not permitted.
Signs and markings must not be removed or made illegible.
Only handle loads that have been arranged in a stable and safe way. The load must be
carried by the entire load bed rather than just parts of it.
Only loads that are within the permitted lifting capacity of the lifting trolley may be
handled.
The lifting device must be adapted to the shape and dimensions of the load.
Always try to position the load in the centre of the load bed to avoid instability.
Furthermore, avoid having loads that protrude outside the platform, and always ensure
that the load is stable on the trolley, and if required, strapped in place. Allow for the risk
that the load may start to move, or collapse.
Use safe and adequate lifting devices when moving loads to and from the lifting trolley.
Pay particular attention when handling heavy goods, and goods with dangerous
contents.
The lifting trolley must undergo preventive maintenance on a regular basis for the
purpose of avoiding accidents.
Swedish Work Environment Authority provisions must be observed.
