3.5. Use of the crane
Starting crane operation
DANGER
• Make sure that you comply with the regulations of the country in which you use
the crane (for example, certificate, safety helmet, and other personal protection
devices).
• Check that the ground is sufficiently flat and firm.
• Verify that the ground is not uneven. Be careful with sewers, cellars, excavations
etc.
• To make sure that the vehicle stays in its position, always engage the parking
brake and place chocks under the wheels.
• Lower the stabiliser legs only on to a flat and firm surface.
• Do not lower the stabiliser legs on the edge of an embankment, soft shoulder,
slope etc.
• Make sure that you can see the stabiliser legs and stabiliser extensions when
you are operating them.
• The stabiliser legs must not sink in! Use support plates that are large and firm
enough for your crane. The plates must not bend because of the load weight.
• Verify that the support plates do not sink as you gradually lift the load.
DANGER
• Do not stand in front of the hydraulically
operated stabiliser legs when you are
operating them!
• Never use the stabiliser legs as a parking
brake, since the vehicle could start to
slide.
• Slide the stabiliser extension, on both
sides of the vehicle, completely out if
possible. Then lower the stabiliser legs for
support.
• Never operate the stabiliser legs/
extensions if there is a load suspended
from the crane.
