It is forbidden to climb on the attachment or pause and/or pass under it during handling.

All operators must keep at a safe distance to avoid being hit if the attachment or one of its parts should fall.

Perform the set-up by moving the lifting vehicle for short distances until the condition of optimum stability is
reached. Slowly lift and handle with the maximum care to avoid oscillations.
