Injury to personnel or damage to equipment could occur
from improper hoisting. Hoist the load slowly to avoid
tearing out lifting eye assemblies, 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.
c. Lift air compressor with a lifting device of at least 600-pound capacity, move onto carrier
and secure.
