Operation SAFETY TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY and DEATH: The use of gantry cranes is subject to certain hazards that cannot be met by mechanical means, but only by the exercise of intelligence, care, common sense, and experience in anticipating the motions that will occur as a result of operating the controls. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles, hard hat, heavy‑duty work gloves, and steel‑toed work boots during operation. Do not use without Locking Pins (7) in place and secured with R-Pins (18).
Before Operating Hoist WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM HOIST FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If adjustments or repairs are necessary, or any defects are known, have the problem corrected before further use. 6. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working. 7. Inspect the hoist as explained in Frequent Inspection on page 12 after assembly but before use. MAINTENANCE OPERATION 3. Do not operate a hoist with an out-of-order sign. 5.

2. Respond to signals from a designated person only. However, always obey a stop signal, no matter who gives it. 3. Do not lift or lower a load with the hoist until the operator and all other personnel are clear of the load. 4. Make sure the load and hoist will clear all obstacles before moving or rotating the load. 5. Do not lift a load more than a few inches until it is well balanced in the sling or lifting device. 6.
