General:

• The importance of safe operation and maintenance cannot be over emphasized. Carelessness or neglect on the part of operators, job supervisors and planners, rigging personnel, and job site workers can result in their death or injury and costly damage to the crane and property.
• To alert personnel to hazardous operating practices and maintenance procedures, safety messages are used throughout the manual. Each safety message contains a safety alert symbol and a signal word to identify the hazard’s degree of seriousness.
• It is impossible to compile a list of safety precautions covering all situations. However, there
  are basic principles that MUST be followed during your daily routine. Safety is YOUR PRIMARY
  RESPONSIBILITY, since any piece of equipment is only as safe AS THE PERSON AT THE
  CONTROLS.
• With this thought in mind, this information has been provided to assist you, the operator, in
  promoting a safe working atmosphere for yourself and those around you. It is not meant to cover
  every conceivable circumstance which could arise. It is intended to present basic safety
  precautions that should be followed in daily operation.
• Because you, the operator, are the only part of the crane that can think and reason, your
  responsibility is not lessened by the addition of operational aids or warning devices. Indeed, you
  must guard against acquiring a false sense of security when using them. They are there to assist,
  not direct the operation. Operational aids or warning devices can be mechanical, electrical,
  electronic, or a combination thereof. They are subject to failure or misuse and should not be
  relied upon in place of good operating practices.
• You, the operator, are the only one who can be relied upon to assure the safety of yourself and
  those around you. Be a PROFESSIONAL and follow the RULES of SAFETY.
  REMEMBER, failure to follow just one safety precaution could cause an accident that results in
  death or serious injury to personnel or damage to equipment. You are responsible for the safety of
  yourself and those around you.
• IMMEDIATELY report all accidents, malfunctions, and equipment damages to your local Grove
  distributor. Following any accident or damage to equipment, the local Grove distributor must be
  immediately advised of the incident and consulted on necessary inspections and repairs. Should the
  distributor not be immediately available, contact should be made directly with Grove Manitowoc
  Crane CARE. The crane must not be returned to service until it is thoroughly inspected for any
  evidence of damage. All damaged parts must be repaired or replaced as authorized
  by your local Grove distributor and/or Grove Crane Care.
