REPAIR:
Death or serious injury could occur if unauthorized or unnecessary personnel
are in the hoisting area. Permit only personnel actually engaged in the hoisting
op-eration to be near the unit and hoisting equipment. All instructions for the
hoisting operations must come from one authorized person.
Injury to personnel or damage to equipment could occur from improper
hoisting. Hoist the load slowly to avoid tearing out lifting eyes. Do not jerk the
load or swing it from side-to-side when hoisting. This places additional stress
on hoisting components which can cause failure and loss of load. Be sure
hoisting equipment is on solid footing and is suitable for the size of the load.
Watch boom angle and overhead clearance when hoisting.
