 Section 1: Safety

 Safety is most important to you and your family.

 Safety is a priority either in operation or in maintenance
and inspection. This section informs you of the possible
hazards and necessary precautions when you are
operating or maintaining the crane.

 Pre-service Precautions:
 Follow the safety laws issued by local government.
 Only qualified, trained, and designated person may
carry out the repairs and maintenance on the crane.
 The crane should be set to maintenance mode.
 Use safety harnesses and other safety gears when
working at the place where you do not have a safe
working platform and handrails to protect you. It is a
good practice to work as a team of at least two persons
when you are engaging in maintenance and repair work
where there is potential danger.

 Pre-service Precautions:
 When inspections are being performed during the mechanism is
under operation, enough spotters must be present to watch each
worker and ready to press an Emergency Stop. Radios should be
used to maintain communications with the operator. When a person
stands on the trolley during maintenance, he must wear safety
harness, and install safety chains near the rope inspection platform.
When the trolley is required moving during the maintenance or
inspection, even at a very slow speed, the person on the trolley must
stay within designated platforms/hand-railing and pay special
attention to any potential crush hazard.
 Secure the repair area by closing a wider area and set striking signs
or symbols about safety warning to prevent other idle person from
entering.
 During maintenance on the crane, be sure to close hatches in the
machinery house and other places, or to protect them with fences.

 Precautions during service
 If hands will be on rope for inspection, lubrication or for any other
reasons, they must be away from pinch point.
 The maintenance persons should pay attention to the
moving/rotating parts.
 An additional person is to act as a spotter between the operator
and the mechanic while inspecting the rope.
 When handling parts from the hatches on the floor in the machinery
house, install fenders around the hatch before opening it.
 Conductive parts must be switched off and secured against
reactivation.
 Provide absorbing devices for leaking operating materials.
 Wear protective clothing (oil and petrol-resistant gloves, protective
clothing, eye goggle, helmet, protective footwear) .

 Precautions during service
 Provide a safe storage and disposal of operating and
auxiliary materials.
 Do not use machine parts as climbing aids.
 Reinstall and test safety devices (which have been
disassembled during maintenance or test work)
immediately after the maintenance and repair work.
 Inform the operator before the beginning of special
maintenance work.
 Tighten screw joints which were loosened during test and
maintenance work correctly.
 Replace fastening elements and seals (e.g. self-securing
nuts, washers, split pins, O-rings and seals) which cannot
be used again.

 Safety Rules after Maintenance / Repair Work
 Update fault log and maintenance check list.
 Put away tools and materials.
 The cranes have been provided with non-slip grating
walking surfaces. Many of these walking surfaces are
more than 30m high. An object which falls from such a
height to the ground is traveling at a high speed. That
can cause serious injury or even death if it strikes a
person on the ground. It is everyone’s duty and
responsibility to pick up any object found on the crane to
avoid accidents.
 Do test running and functional check of the components
and safety devices. A functional test has to be carried
out before starting operation and service again.

 Instruction for Drawing No.
Drawing No. has the following characteristics:
1.Exclusive. It means one drawing no. represents only one product, or assembly,
or part.
2.Affiliation. It can show the subsidiary relation between assembly and parts ；
