CRANE RANGE

Start/stop instructions

Start

• Connect the hydraulic system. In cold weather, wait for 5-10 minutes until the oil has reached the

correct working temperature.

• Run through all the crane’s functions.

Stop

• At the end of each working day it is recommended to make 2-3 full working cycles (full turns) of the

crane, to prevent the risk of rust inside the turnhouse cylinders.

• Park the crane in an appropriate manner by locking the crane arm with the aid of the grapple or by

lowering the arm to the ground.

• Disconnect the hydraulic system.
