crane.

Risk of accidents due to sudden retraction of a telescopic section!
Before unlocking the telescopic section, secure it against automatic retrac-
tion. This prevents the retracting telescopic section severing one of your
limbs or the truck crane being damaged or overturned by the telescopic
section suddenly retracting.
