Work interruptions
If it is necessary to leave the crane unattended:
Land the load.
Secure the boom system.
Turn off the crane.
Secure the crane against unauthorized use.
Resuming work
If crane has been left unattended, check whether the crane has been tampered with before
resuming crane operation. Ensure secure crane operation.
If the crane has been tampered with by unauthorized persons:
(Refer to chapter 7 'Preparing for crane operation'). Carry out all function checks described in
chapter 7.
In devices with remote control it is additionally necessary to:
check that the appropriate device control panel (control handset) is used (as indicated) before
resuming crane operation.
Loading of the rope
Moving the load at the acute angle (A) places less load on the
rope than moving it at the obtuse angle (B). This protects the
rope.
Higher load on the rope (B) puts strain on the rope and
causes quicker wear.
