Section I - SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (cont'd)
1.1 Improper use of this equipment can be dangerous! Incorrect operation
can result in bodily injury to the operator and bystanders. Therefore,
a thorough understanding of the "operating principles" and "operating
instructions" as found in this manual is essential.
1.2 Study each job to be done. Apply common sense judgment to
assure safety to yourself and bystanders.
1.3 Plan ahead. Work safely. Avoid accidental damage and injury. If an
accident or fire does occur, react quickly with the tools and skills at
hand. Know how to use a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher - and
where to get assistance.
1.4 Read and understand the following instructions.
1. READ THE MOUNTING/OPERATING/MAINTENANCE MANUAL
FOR WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS.
2. NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED. DON'T ASSUME THAT
EVERYTHING IS ALL RIGHT AT THE START OF WORK TODAY
JUST BECAUSE EVERYTHING SEEMED ALL RIGHT AT THE END
OF WORK YESTERDAY. BEFORE BEGINNING OPERATION,
THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE ENTIRE WRECKER TO BE SURE IT
IS IN GOOD OPERATING CONDITION.
3. VISUALLY INSPECT THE WRECKER FOR EVIDENCE OF
PHYSICAL DAMAGE, SUCH AS CRACKING, BENDING, OR
DEFORMATION OF PLATES OR WELDS. INSPECT CAREFULLY
FOR CRACKING OR FLAKING OF PAINT, WHICH MAY INDICATE
A DANGEROUS CRACK IN THE STRUCTURE BENEATH. DO NOT
OPERATE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE MADE.
4. LOOSE OR MISSING HARDWARE, BOLTS, NUTS, AND PINS
SHOULD BE PROPERLY TIGHTENED OR REPLACED WITH
MANUFACTURER'S SPECIFIED HARDWARE.
5. CHECK FOR FLUID LEAKS. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MUST BE
CORRECTED BEFORE THE WRECKER IS OPERATED.
