11.5.5 Derricking gear
You can raise and lower the main boom.
Depending on the size of the load and the rigging mode, the RCL will switch off
the lowering process of the boom as soon as leaving the working area specified
in the Lifting capacity table.

Raising the boom is a movement that reduces the load moment and that is not
switched off by the RCL. However, raising the boom is the movement which can
cause the truck crane to overturn if the load lifted is too heavy.
You can display the operating hours of the derricking gear;
à p. 11 - 135.

derricking gear

lamps in the corresponding buttons will light up only dimly.
• Press the button (1) once.
– The lamp in button (1) will light up brightly.

It is prohibited to lift loads by raising the boom, since the RCL does not monitor
