Observe the operational organization at the site. Report your arrival to site
management. Ask for the personnel authorised to instruct you.
Find out where the fire extinguishers are and how to operate them at every
site.
Note the fire alarm and fire fighting facilities.
Should the operating behaviour of the truck crane change in such a manner
that safety is impaired or if you are in doubt about the operational safety of
the truck crane, stop the truck crane immediately and inform the responsi-
ble departments or persons.
Do not make any changes to the programmable control systems (e.g. the RCL).
Do not modify or retrofit the truck crane without the consent of the manu-
facturer if such changes would affect the safety. This also applies to
– The installation of safety devices
– The adjustment of safety devices and valves
All welding work (especially on load carrying members) may only be per-
formed by qualified professional personnel with the prior written permis-
sion of Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH.
To avoid damage, especially to electronic parts, there are certain measures
you must take before doing any welding work. You should therefore always
consult Manitowoc Crane Care before any welding work.
Make sure that the prescribed intervals and the intervals specified in the
operation and maintenance manual for periodic inspections, tests and
maintenance work are adhered to.
Replace the hydraulic hose lines, or have them replaced, at the prescribed
intervals, even if no safety defects are noticeable.
Spare parts must fulfil the technical requirements defined by the manufac-
turer. Genuine spare parts always meet these requirements.
Appropriate servicing equipment is absolutely necessary in order to carry
out maintenance work.
Observe national regulations that apply to transport when loading the truck
crane. Also observe the additional safety measures prescribed by the for-
warder (e.g. shipping or railway transportation company).
Monitor the work of personnel, at least occasionally, and make sure they
work in accordance with the operating instructions in a safe and conscien-
tious manner.
