SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SECTION 2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Most accidents that occur during crane operation and maintenance are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules and precautions. Before operating your machine or performing maintenance, read and become familiar with all the safety precautions and recommendations given in this section. Remember that failure to observe even a single precaution could involve you and the people around the machine in a serious accident.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ASIC AFETY ULES The operator should: Have sufficient experience in working with cranes and be sufficiently trained and qualified as a crane operator Be in good health, emotionally stable and not subject to physical disability Not be using any medicine or drug that impairs physical, visual or mental response ...
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS RANE PPLICATION IN CCORDANCE WITH THE NTENDED Crane application in accordance with the intended use is operation as an assembly crane, and consequently, lifting and transporting of loads. The machine has been designed and built only for operation in areas where there is no risk of explosion.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS rearward stability. It will also make the operator less sensitive to overloading, increasing the chance of an accident. On some cranes, counterweights of different weights can be selectively mounted. When working with such a crane, it is imperative to know the correct amount of counterweight installed on the machine, as the weight directly affects the lifting capacity.
Also check the boom head and hook block sheaves for excessive wear. Damaged sheaves can hasten deterioration of the wire ropes (see right figure). Use only the Tadano recommended wire ropes. When working inside a building, check side and overhead clearance to avoid hitting anything.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS None of the counterweight belonging to the machine may be replaced by counterweight of other machines. If the crane is not equipped with the counterweight specified in the load chart, there is a risk of overturning. IGGING AND IGNALING ...
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.9.1 Recommended Hand Signals During all intended crane movements (with or without load), the crane operator must always have the load or the load lifting device in his field of vision. Loads fixed by hand may only be moved by the crane operator after he has received a corresponding signal from the person fixing the load or from another responsible person who has been determined in advance.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.10 L IFTING PERATION Do not lift two loads on both the boom and jib at the same time (see right figure). Loads fixed to the jib cause stress in the boom and temporarily reduce its capacity. Do not attempt such lifts even if the total load weight is within the machine’s rated capacity.
Page 30
Do not continue operating the machine with a dented or otherwise damaged boom or jib. A damaged boom or jib must be repaired or replaced. Contact your nearest Tadano distributor or dealer for assistance. ...
Page 31
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS on the winch drum. If necessary, use a proper hand tool to seat the rope, being careful not to damage it. Do not try to seat the ropes directly with your hands; you may be injured. Be sure that the working area has been cleared of people and obstructions. Unauthorized people must not be allowed to approach the area.
Page 32
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Keep the boom length and lifting height as short as the job conditions allow. A load hung on a long wire rope may make the machine unstable when the suspended load swings, which could cause the boom to break (see right figure). ...
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Centrifugal force works to increase the working radius. An increase in the working radius means a greater chance of overloading and resulting machine damage or overturning. Always swing slowly. If the swing is stopped suddenly, inertia will make the load over-swing, which then causes the load to rock back and forth (see right figure).
Page 34
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Fence in the working area as necessary to prevent any parts of the machine or load from approaching a dangerous area near the power lines. Post a full-time watchperson when operating near power lines. Use of boom guards, insulated hook blocks, high-voltage line sensing devices, etc. does not assure safety. Boom guards cover only the head or a part of the boom, and are only partially effective in protecting the operator from electric shock (see right figure).
Page 35
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Minimum Required Clearance for Normal Voltage in Operation Near High Voltage Power Lines and Operation in Transit with No Load and Boom Lowered.

Before restarting operation, contact an authorized Tadano distributor or dealer to discuss the measures, and inspection and repairs required. 2.11.2 Inspection Measures Inspection measures are required after an electric shock or a lightning strike.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.12 O PERATION IND AND IGHTNING Be sufficiently cautious when working in winds or sharp gust. Stop lifting if the maximum wind velocity exceeds 20 mph (9 m/sec). Retract and lower the boom fully, and activate the swing brake. The table below lists wind speed ranges and the ground conditions for each range: Wind Speed: Wind Speed:...
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2.13 O PERATION IPELINES Particular caution is required in the area of exposed pipelines. Damage to such lines and any resulting leakage may have serious consequences. Before crane work begins, make sure which fluids are transported in the supply lines. To this effect, the operating company involved must definitely be contacted.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS The crane is installed too close to the edge of slopes or excavations. The crane is driven over excessively sloped or excessively uneven ground. The rope becomes slack on the hoist winch. Loads are improperly secured. ...
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Deficiencies in the hydraulic system (e.g. frayed hoses). Defective or unsatisfactorily operating safety devices (e.g. load moment limiters or hoist limit or winch limit switches). The steel structures, welded components, and parts subject to increased stress are not examined visually. The operator must have undergone thorough training with the crane to be able to detect and to avoid all dangers that may occur in the course of operation.
