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.
