G
Risk of accident due to unexpected crane movements!
In the case of multiple configuration, check whether the control lever func-
tion
Telescoping is switched on before you move the control lever for tele-
scoping.
This prevents accidents caused by unexpected derricking!
G
Risk of accidents due to gaps in monitoring!
Boom extension will only be monitored completely if
– The lifting limit switch is correctly rigged;
à p. 12 - 106,
– The lifting limit switch is not overridden;
à p. 11 - 60.
S
Risk of damage to the hoist rope!
The rope can become slack if the hook block touches the ground during
retraction operations. Rope loops will form, which can cause the load to slip
and damage the hoist rope.
