SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Danger always exists when loads are transported by lifting devices, especially if the equipment
is not being used properly or is poorly maintained. Because accidents and severe bodily injury
or death can result, specific safety precautions must be applied to the operation, inspection,
and maintenance of Walker Lift Magnets.
Following these simple rules can help avoid lifting accidents:
ADANGER
■
Always
stay clear of the load.
■
Never
lift loads over people or in close proxim
ity to people.
■
Never
attempt to operate this magnet until you
read and understand the Operator's Manual.
■
Never
use this magnet to lift, support or trans
port people.
■
Never
leave any lifted load unattended.
■
Never
lift more than one work piece at a time
with this magnet.
■
Always
make sure that the supporting struc
ture and load attaching devices (i.e. crane,
chains and hook) are rated to support the
weight of the magnet and load.
■
Always
make sure that the load's weight and
dimensions are within the Magnet's Lifting
Guidelines. These Guidelines are located in
the Operator's Manual.
■
Always
let those near you know when a lift is
to begin.
Remember, proper lifting knowledge and techniques are the responsibility of the operator. Be
sure to read and understand the instructions and safety warnings contained in this manual
before using your lifter.
If you do not understand everything in this manual, contact O.S. Walker for assistance before
