Safety precautions and warnings
3.5
Driving with the crane
DANGER
• Never drive the vehicle if there is a load
suspended from the crane.
• Before you move the vehicle:
Check that there is no pump flow to the
main control valve. The PTO or power
supply must be disengaged. The operating
system must be switched off!
• Pay attention to the width and height of the
crane in the transport position. The crane
has to stay within the width of the truck.
Make sure the stowed crane can not hit
bridges, tunnels etc.
• Pay attention to overhead power lines!
Make sure that no part of the crane ever
comes in contact with overhead power
lines.
For further instructions see vehicle's manual(s).

• After use, always place the crane in the
transport position!

extensions.
• Check that the locking mechanisms are
properly locked.
• Switch off the operating system.
• Disengage the PTO or power supply after
work.
• If you drive with the PTO or power supply
engaged, this will cause serious damage to
the PTO/gearbox combination.
• Only after doing the above, should you
drive the vehicle away.
