DON'T FORGET.
IF THE CRANE IS NOT LEVEL, LOAD CAPACITIES ARE REDUCED WHEN LIFTING ON THE LOW
SIDE. DON'T BE MISLED BY OPTICAL ILLUSIONS. USE YOUR BUBBLE LEVEL.
DON'T FORGET.
USE CAUTION WHEN STARTING TO LIFT UNKNOWN WEIGHTS - THAT SMALL BOX MIGHT BE
FILLED WITH LEAD.
DON'T FORGET.
IF A TIPPING CONDITION IS SUDDENLY SENSED - START LOWERING THE LOAD AND RETRACT
OR ELEVATE THE BOOM TO BRING THE LOAD IN. NEVER LOWER THE BOOM AND AGGRAVATE
THE CONDITION.
DON'T FORGET.
SUDDEN STOPPING WHEN LOWERING A LOAD CAN EFFECTIVELY INCREASE THE LOADING TO
TIPPING OR A STRUCTURAL FAILURE CONDITION.
DON'T FORGET.
EVEN IF A HYDRAULIC LINE MAY BE SHEARED OR BROKEN ON THE LIFT OR EXTENSION
CYLINDERS, THE CRANE WILL STILL FUNCTION SUFFICIENTLY TO GET THE LOAD DOWN.
DON'T FORGET.
MAXIMUM LIFTING CAPABILITY IS AVAILABLE AT THE SMALLEST RADIUS, SHORTEST BOOM
LENGTH AND GREATEST BOOM ANGLE.
