11.5.9 Slewing speed – Switching the reduction on and off

speeds are automatically reduced to the maximum permissible levels listed in the
Lifting capacity table under the comments on slewing speed.

Risk of accidents due to excessive slewing speed
Observe the specified maximum permissible slewing speeds. This prevents the
truck crane being subjected to excessive dynamic loads, which can lead to dam-
age to crane sections and the truck crane overturning. Always slow down and
accelerate the slewing movement slowly and avoid swinging loads.
When reduction is switched off, you as crane operator are responsible for a
slewing speed that is suitable the current loading case.
