After a lightning strike, always have the truck crane checked by Manitowoc Crane
Care
before you operate the truck crane – even if you do not notice any impair-
ment to its function. Electronic components may be damaged by a lightning strike
and may fail unexpectedly, either immediately or during later operation.
Crane operation carried out in the vicinity of live electrical cables as well as oil,
gas or other supply lines is dangerous and requires that special precautionary
measures be taken. Please observe the instructions in the section titled Crane
operation under special operating conditions in the Safety manual and the respective
national regulations.
Testing the truck crane by lifting an excessively heavy load (overload testing) is
prohibited. This presents the danger of hidden damage that can lead to severe
accidents during subsequent crane operation. If locally applicable national regu-
lations require the truck crane to be tested by lifting an excessively heavy load
(overload test), always first consult
Manitowoc Crane Care.
