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..
• Extend all outriggers always to the full width before supporting and, if present, place swivel
supports in the supporting position and lock them properly. Always observe the minimum
distances stated in Chapter 1.3-1.

When extending the outrigger 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 which you can see
(please consult your service workshop).
Before supporting the vehicle on asphalt surfaces ensure that there are no hollow spaces under
them such as manhole covers.
Before supporting the vehicle examine the condition of the ground in order if necessary to enlarge
the area of support. 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 under the loadings that occur when working with the crane. Supporting the
vehicle on manhole covers is prohibited.
