3. Safety advice
The FOXY PRO crane system may only be operated by competent and trained
personnel. It may only be used to carry cameras and their operators for use in
motion picture production.
PANTHER regularly holds training workshops for which participants receive a certicate on com-
pletion. Please call +49 (89) 6 3 900 0 for further information.
Only use the crane after having read and understood the operating manual. Safety guidelines
as well as weight and dimension specications must be adhered to. Servicing and maintenance
guidelines must be observed.
The crane may not be used directly before, during or after thunderstorms. There could be a
risk of lightning striking. When not directly in use, the crane should be dismantled or secured
against wind.
Should a storm arise, the crane should be not be operated and must be stowed away or parked
safely according to DIN 15019 part 1/6.1.3. The crane may not be operated near power transmis-
sion lines.
If the crane is used in an elevated area (e. g. bridge, multistory building, you should minimize
the risk of falling from the increased height by additionally securing the crane and personnel
with adequate safety ropes to appropriate objects (e. g. concrete pillars).
CAUTION !
The crane may not be used when wind speeds are 32 km/h (remote versi-
on)/22 km/h (platform version) or higher. Stow or park the crane safely in a
timely manner, according to DIN 15019 part 1/6.1.3.
Always keep the crane’s (plus all outriggers’) lifting, panning and driving range free of obstruc-
tion. Always observe 0.5 m clearance distance to people and objects in the proximity. Beware of
pinching and anticipate pinch points during assembly and operation of the crane.
The crane operator is responsible for keeping the remote head mount free of loose objects; they
could fall and cause injury. The Remote Head and the camera must be secured to the Remote
Mount with a safety cable.
ATTENTION !
Only use original PANTHER components and accessories. Combined seat-
extensions (vertical/horizontal) with order numbers 110, 111, 112, 105663,
