3-5. UNLOADING EQUIPMENT (Continued)
WARNING
Death or serious injury could occur if unauthorized or unnecessary personnel are in the hoisting
area. Permit only personnel actually engaged in the hoisting operation to be near the unit and
hoisting equipment. All instructions for the hoisting operations must come from one authorized
person.
Injury to personnel or damage to equipment could occur from improper hoisting. Hoist the load
slowly to avoid slipping slings or load shift. Do not jerk the load or swing it from side-to-side
when hoisting. This places additional stress on hoisting components which can cause failure and
loss of load. Be sure hoisting equipment is on solid footing and is suitable for the size of the
load. Watch boom angle and overhead clearance when hoisting.
Death or serious injury to personnel or damage to equipment could occur if engine lifting strap is
used to lift the pumping assembly. The lifting strap shall be used to lift only the engine.
c.
Unload the pumping assembly with a lifting device secured to the base assembly.
