Starting operations
•
General case:
Place the vehicle on a flat, firm and stable
surface. The vehicle inclination (
α
) during crane
operation must
not be more than 3º
. If this value
is exceed, unintentional crane movements can
occur.
To determine the inclination of the truck, check
the spirit level on the crane. When the bubble is
in the middle of the gauge, the crane is in
horizontal position. When the bubble is between
the two circles, the crane inclination is between
0° and 5°.
•
Working with boom system beyond 60°
To avoid side deflection and in order to
guarantee the safest operation when working
with e.g. Lifting Accessories and/or Hoist
applications and/or JIB/MEWP applications,
the vehicle has to be completely levelled in
any direction
(
α
=0º)
.
! NOTE
• Operating the crane in to and out of transport
position must also be done with the vehicle
completely levelled.
• Activate the parking brake and place chocks
under the wheels to prevent vehicle move-
ment.
