Chapter 7 Preparing for crane operation
Use for intended purpose / limits of the device
Danger! Improper use endangers people and causes damages to the
unit and loss of warranty and liability.
Use the crane only within the load limits shown on the load capacity chart to lift, move, carry and set
down loads.
It is allowed to:
Lift and move loads up to or down from large heights;
Lift loads up to a specific height and hold them in this height for assembly works (e.g. rafters, steel
girders, etc.)
Improper use is prohibited.
If the operating instructions of any ancillary equipment or instructions prepared by the operating
company allow other use (for instance diagonal pull), which contradict these operating instructions,
then the unit's operating instructions shall have priority.
What is not allowed:
To use the device for other purposes than the ones specified above;
To push against obstacles or loads;
To pull, to pull things loose, diagonal pull of any kind;
To abruptly unload the boom system;
To attach loads to other positions on the crane than the intended ones;

maximum capacity.
