Effer 265 - 5 Starting Crane Operation; Starting Operations

5. Starting crane operation
5.1. Starting operations
Put the vehicle on a flat, firm, and stable surface.
IMPORTANT
To avoid sudden movements of the vehicle and damages to the stabiliser system,
the vehicle must be completely levelled in any direction (α=0º) with the crane in
transport position and the boom system folded before starting any operation.
To determine the inclination of the truck, check the spirit
level on the crane. When the bubble is in the middle of the
gauge, the crane is in horizontal position.
The vehicle inclination (α) during crane operation must not
be more than 3º when working with the boom system
below 30º.
The vehicle inclination (α) during crane operation must not
be between 0º and 1º when working with the boom system
above 30º.
If these values are exceeded, unintentional crane
movements can occur.
CAUTION
• Remember to operate the crane into and out of the transport position with the
vehicle completely levelled.
• Activate the parking brake and place chocks under the wheels to prevent vehicle
movement.
