page Lifting heavy components WARNING Careless handling of heavy components can lead to serious personal injury and material damage. Use type approved lifting tools or other devices to move heavy components. Make sure that the device is stable and intact. Risks Unsuitable lift slings, straps, etc. may break or slip. The centre of gravity (balance point) of the component can change during the course of the work, and the component may then make unexpected movements which may cause severe personal injuries and material damage. A component lifted with lifting equipment can start to turn if the equilibrium is upset.
A component lifted using an overhead crane may start to swing back and forth, which can cause severe crushing injuries or material dam- age. UDRF01.04GB Maintenance manual DRF 400–450 A 001977
