WARNING
• Never push a load along the ground, or the
vehicle's load space, with the extension
boom. This can cause damage to the
boom system. This will lead to expensive
repairs.
• Never use the extension boom as a jack.
This could damage the slewing bearings
and the connection between the crane
column and the crane base.
• Always lift the load from the ground before
you start to slew. Do not tow the load over
the ground. This can damage the boom
system.
• If you are working with loads in restricted
spaces (for example, windows):
Check that the boom system can move up
and down freely.
The boom system will bend somewhat,
when loading and unloading the crane.
• If the boom system is in a high position
(first boom above 70°), do not allow the
boom to lower at full speed. The crane
could go into an uncontrolled movement.
• Be careful when handling loads in the high
lifting area, thus the load/tool does not
come into contact with the boom system.
CAUTION
• Operate the crane using smooth and gentle lever movements.
• If a cylinder is at its end position, free the operating lever. Otherwise overheating
can occur.
• If the cabin area and/or the stabiliser area are not defined, you must be very
careful to avoid hitting them and causing an accident during the crane operation.
TIP
To prevent damage to your crane, we recommend that you do not leave the load
hanging on the hook for a long time. Always leave the (load/tip of the crane)
resting on a stable surface before a break or park the crane.
