Operation 
5.8 Load taring 
This function key is used to output the net load to the current load display. The net load is the 
current load minus hoisting gear and load block. The “TARE” key must be pressed before 
commencing the hoist action. 
 
After actuation, the current load display is set to zero (tared). After hoisting the load, the current 
load display then displays the net load (payload). As soon as the load status is changed (by a 
change in angle or radius) the display shows the current load again and the taring function is 
ended.  
 
NOTE 
 
The current load includes the weight of the load block, the lifting rope and all load-slinging 
attachments.  
The net load is the actual load on the hook without load-slinging attachments.  
Environmental influences can lead to incorrect displays (e.g. wind affecting the boom or 
load). 
 
5.9 Switching off alarm 
The acoustic alarm can be suppressed for a short period by pressing this function key.
