Pay attention to the following DANGER NOTES during maintenance work:
When not required cut out the electricity supply of the crane before carrying
out any maintenance work on it. Affix a sign reading: MACHINE UNDER
MAINTENANCE – DO NOT INSERT ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
NEVER exclude the safety and protection devices installed on the jib crane. If
this became necessary, mark with suitable warning signs and operate with
maximum care..
Always check the presence and suitability of earthing connections and that
they correspond to regulations. If earthing is not installed with electric
equipment serious harm could be done to people.
Avoid use of flammable or toxic solvents (petrol, ether, alcohol, etc.). Avoid
long periods of contact with solvents and inhalation of their vapours. Avoid, in
particular, use near open flames.
Before turning on the crane always ensure that the maintenance staff are at a
safe distance (not at a height) and that tools or other materials have not been
left on the crane.
Always use protective gloves during maintenance work.
All accessible moving parts, excluding only the chain and block, must be
protected against accidental contact. Put back the protection devices before
putting the hoist into operation.
Never use water in case of fire; disconnect all electrical currents and use
suitable fire extinguishers.
Ensure that all tools to be used are in perfect condition and have insulating
handles where required.
Pay utmost attention to all the REMAINING RISKS highlighted on the hoist and
in this publication.
