SAFETY NORMS
( ! ) This symbol draws your attention on the points concerning safety.
It means:
WARNING! BE CAREFUL!
IT CONCERNS YOUR SAFETY!
!ATTENTION!
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY prior to use of the crane or any maintenance.
A few minutes spent now could save time and labour later.
Be sure that the unit has been installed, inspected and tested in accordance
with the local legal requirements.
Check that protections are in their place and that all safety devices are fitted
and active.
Warning plates, as well as instruction and operation plates must be repla-
ced when no longer readable or missing. (See chapters A - B)
Do not run the engine in a indoor area without first making sure there is
adequate ventilation. Fit a suitable extension tube to the vehicle exhaust pipe
to take the fumes away from the working area.
Stabilize the vehicle by means of the outrigger rams, checking that they rest
on a solid base; if in doubt use special larger outrigger base plates (available
on request). (See chapter IX)
Level the crane so as it is always operated on a horizontal plane.
Check that the taps of the outrigger rams safety check valves are closed.
Never operate the outriggers when the crane is loaded.
Remember that the stability of the unit (crane-vehicle) is only guaranteed by
the maximum lateral extension of the outriggers.
Should visibility be insufficient, make sure that control stations are properly
lighted so as to ensure safety while operating control functions and allow rea-
ding of the plates.
Before manoeuvering a load check that the
working area is adequate and properly lighted
for your crane.
Make sure that the hook is always free to rota-
te on its pin and that nothing obstructs its ver-
tical positioning.
Check the efficiency of the hook safety catch.
