1. Stand close to the load with your feet spread
apart about shoulder width, with one foot
slightly in front of the other for balance.
2. Squat down bending at the knees (not your
waist). Tuck your chin while keeping your
back as vertical as possible.
3. Get a rm grasp of the object before begin-
ning the lift. Begin slowly lifting with your
LEGS by straightening them. Never twist
your body during this step.
4. Once the lift is complete, keep the object as

center of gravity moves away from the body,

lumbar region of the back.
5. If you must turn while carrying the load,
turn using your feet-not your torso. To place
the object below the level of your waist, fol-

Remember, keep your back as vertical as
possible and bend at the knees.
CAUTION
Take care when lift-
ing the equipment. We
recommend using a me-
chanical lift device to assist.

to make it lighter.
Know where you are going to set the item down, and
make sure it and your path are free of obstructions.
Then follow these steps:
