Therefore, be especially careful when performing swing oper- ation. NEVER LEAVE THE OPERATOR’S SEAT G Never leave the operator’s seat while lifting a load. NEVER CARRY OUT EXCESSIVE OPERATIONS INCORRECT G Operation exceeding machine performance may result in accident or failure. G Carry out lifting operation within specified load limit. G Never carry out operations which may damage the machine such as overload or over-impact-load.

G Never drag a load laterally or longitudinally, nor retract the arm, otherwise, a dangerous situation may result. INCORRECT NEVER TRAVELLING WHILE LIFTING A LOAD G Never travel while carrying a load. OPERATING POSTURE G If the machine posture is not correct, the wire ropes or ring may detach from the hook. Confirm that the hook angle is cor- rect to avoid this. 34
