in the manual indicates an item or procedure, where caution is especially necessary. ALWAYS heed this symbol. Safety is a matter of thoroughly understanding the job to be done, and the application of good common sense; not just a matter of "do's" and "don't's."Always show proper respect for weight. Never attempt to lift heavy parts manually when a hoist should be used. Never leave heavy parts in an unstable position. When raising a portion of a machine, be sure the machine is blocked securely at front and rear. The weight should be correctly supported with blocks or stands, not with the lifting equipment.When using a hoist, follow the recommendations outlined in the manual. Fabricate and use the illustrated lifting devices in conjunction with the hoist, to achieve the proper balance of the assemblies being lifted, and to assure safe handling.
