Page 19
JT100/JT100 All Terrrain Operator’s Manual Safety - 18 Driver/Loader Precautions Operation General Riding on boom or load will result in death or serious injury. No riders. Keep off. • Secure with shackle before lifting load. • Never use a sling bar or anything larger than the shackle prevent from closing. This prevents damage to material being hoisted and helps prevent injury to personnel.
Page 20
JT100/JT100 All Terrrain Operator’s Manual Safety - 19 Driver/Loader Precautions • Never swing a load over people. • Consider overall height of unit when moving under objects with low overhead clearance. • Operate controls smoothly and do not stop load sharply in midair so that it swings.
