    This document outlines standard hand signals for controlling crane operations. It lists signals for hoisting, lowering, swinging, raising and lowering the boom, moving slowly, traveling with one or both turrets, extending and retracting the boom, and additional safety notes. The signals involve using hand positions and motions to clearly communicate commands to crane operators from a distance.
