hasbeensecured against inadvertent movement and toppling.
•When replacing individualpartsand largersubassemblies, theyshould be carefullyattachedto lifting gear
and secured againstfalling down. To avoid the riskofaccidents, sharp edges, corners and dangerous
projectionsmust be covered and a warning sign attached. Use onlysuitable hoisting and lifting gearwith
adequate load capacitywhich isin a properworking condition. Neverworkorstand undersuspended loads!
•The securing ofloadsand the instruction ofcraneoperators should onlybe entrusted to experienced
persons. Asignalergiving instructionsmust be within sight ofthe crane operatorand must be provided with a
radio link.
