•
Only specially trained operators shall be permitted to operate crane equip-
ment for lifting and setting the cabinet.
•
Operators should not suspend loads over people, nor should any person
work, stand, or pass under a suspended load.

•
All persons working with crane equipment shall wear standard safety gear
according to local practices, including, but not limited to, safety helmets,
steel-toed shoes, eye protection, and (when required) insulating gloves.

Do not operate the crane until all stabilizers are extended and in firm contact
with the ground or adequate support structure. Do not attempt to retract or
extend the stabilizers while a load is suspended from the crane.

When raising the crane from the stowed position, and while operating the
crane, be alert for overhead obstructions that might interfere with move-
ment of the crane. DO NOT ALLOW THE CABINET OR CRANE TO TOUCH
ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING OR EQUIPMENT!

Do not lift the pallet and cabinet from the ends when using a forklift; lift from
