CAUTION
Do not operate the first boom down at the
end of stroke (as in the picture).
In this position, cylinders could suffer
overpressures or mechanical damages, and
as a consequence, the load could fall and
cause damage to the crane and/or the
adjacent area or, in the worst case, personal
injury or death.
Heavy loads
Lift heavy loads with the 2nd boom in the optimum position
in relation to the 1st boom. For this, see the load plate on
your crane.
DANGER
Never exceed the maximum permissible loading of the hook.
Heavy loads cannot be handled with the boom straight.
Set the 2nd boom, so there is an angle in relation to the 1st
boom.
Heavy loads below the horizontal
It might be necessary to lock the boom extensions by a
special pin. Unlock the boom extensions as soon as you
finish this operation and do not leave the load below the
horizontal line for a long time.
Loads at the extreme limit of the working zone
Also in this case, angle down the 2nd boom somewhat. Only use the 1st boom .
TIP
Make smooth crane movements: operate the crane with various functions
simultaneously. In this way you will also prevent the hydraulic system heating up
quickly.
