2.0 Safe Operating Guidelines
WARNING
Before operating a MSI crane scale, the scale operator should
carefully read and study the appropriate Operation Manual
supplied by MSI and note any special instructions.
2.1 Operating Suggestions
1. Do not make lifts beyond rated load capacity of the crane scale, sling chains,
rope slings, etc.
2. Do not operate the crane scale if ropes, slings, cables, chains, etc. show any sign
of defects or excessive wear.
3. Before moving the load, make certain that load slings, load chains or other
lifting devices are fully seated in the saddle of the crane scale hook with hook
latch closed.
4. At no time should a load be left suspended from the crane scale unless the
operator is at the master switch or push buttons with the power on. Under this
condition keep the load as close to the floor as possible to minimize the
possibility of an injury, should the load drop. When the crane scale is holding a
load, the crane operator should remain at the master switch or push buttons.
5. When a hitcher is used, it should be the joint responsibility of the crane operator
and the hitcher to see that hitches are secure and that all loose material has been
removed from the load before starting a lift.
6. Do not lift loads with ropes, slings, cables, chains, etc. hanging loose.
7. All ropes, slings, cables, chains, etc. should be removed from the crane scale
when not in use. (A dangling cable can inadvertently snag other objects when
the crane is moving.)
8. Operators should not maneuver a loaded crane scale over personnel.
