TM 5-3810-306-10 Know the area in which you are working. Familiarize yourself with work site and other potential hazards in the area. Use caution when in the vicinity of overhanging banks or edges. Keep your shoes clean. Before entering the cab, clean any mud or grease from your shoes. This will reduce the possibility of your foot slipping off a control pedal, possibly resulting in an accident. Since certain shoe sole materials are more slip resistant than others, all operating and service personnel should wear footwear with high slip resistant sole material. Avoid a dirty or greasy crane. Keep the cab, deck, and foot and hand holds free of mud and grease for operator safety. Dirty equipment fails rapidly and makes good maintenance difficult. Observe and heed possible pinch points while performing checks and services. Unless authorized and approved by U.S. Army Tank Automotive Command, do not make any modifications, alterations, or changes to a crane which could in any way affect its original design. Such action invalidates all warranties and capacity charts, and makes the owner/user liable for any resultant accidents. Keep the crane properly maintained and adjusted at all times. Shut down the crane while making repairs or adjustments. Keep your fingers away from potentially hazardous areas. Always perform a function check after repairs have been made to ensure proper operation. Load test should be performed when structural or lifting members are involved. Do not store flammable materials on the crane at any time. Never get off (or on) a moving crane. When getting on or off a stationary crane, use both hands and use handrails and steps provided. Allow NO ONE other than the operator to be on the crane while the crane is functioning or moving.
