Preparing for crane operation 3.2-2
• Switch on the pump and, if the rotational speed of the vehicle is manually adjustable, select the
correct rotational speed. Engage, if necessary, the specified gear (for values see maintenance
manual or instruction plate in the operator’s cab). If necessary, switch on the power supply for
the crane. For temperatures below 0° see 3.2-1.
• Always extend all outriggers to the full width before supporting and, if present, place swivel
supports in the supporting position and properly lock them. Always observe the minimum
distances stated in Chapter 1.3-1.

When extending the outrigger box and support cylinder always
ensure that the area in which you are moving them is always in your
field of vision. If that is not possible for both sides at the same time,
this operation must only be available for the side that you can see
(please consult your service workshop).
Before supporting the vehicle on asphalt surfaces ensure there are no hollow spaces nor manhole
covers underneath.
Before supporting the vehicle examine the condition of the ground in order to enlarge the area of
support if necessary. This will prevent the crane from sinking into the ground during loading or
unloading work. Suitable supports can be obtained from PALFINGER. Other supports used by you
must not break or sink because of the loadings when working with the crane. Supporting the vehicle
on manhole covers is prohibited.
