SAFETY MESSAGES
General
The importance of safe operation and maintenance cannot
be overemphasized. Carelessness or neglect on the part of
operators, job supervisors and planners, rigging personnel,
and job site workers can result in their death or injury and
costly damage to the crane and property.
To alert personnel to hazardous operating practices and
maintenance procedures, safety messages are used
throughout the manual. Each safety message contains a
safety alert symbol and a signal word to identify the hazard's
degree of seriousness.

GENERAL
NOTE:
It is impossible to compile a list of safety precautions
covering all situations. However, there are basic principles
that MUST be followed during your daily routine. Safety is
YOUR PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY, since any piece of
equipment is only as safe AS THE PERSON AT THE
CONTROLS.
With this thought in mind, this information has been provided
to assist you, the operator, in promoting a safe working
atmosphere for yourself and those around you. It is not
meant to cover every conceivable circumstance which could
arise. It is intended to present basic safety precautions that
should be followed in daily operation.
Because you, the operator, are the only part of the crane that
can think and reason, your responsibility is not lessened by
