Risk of accidents from unexpected movement!
If the engine speed is too high when selecting the driving direction, then no
gear will be engaged. However, if the engine speed briefly drops low
enough, then the gear will be engaged and the truck crane will begin to
move, e.g. when you release the accelerator.

Risk of accidents if brakes not applied!
If the brakes are not applied, the truck crane moves immediately once the
driving direction has been selected. Therefore, always apply the parking
brake or the holding brake to secure the truck crane before selecting the
driving direction.
