Safety precautions and warnings
Operator's Manual GB
3.5.6
WARNING
During operation:
• When using the hoist, follow the instruc-
tions carefully!
• The counterweight should not touch the
top roller. As a safety measure, distance
(A) between them should preferably not be
less than a visible gap, to allow getting out
of an overload situation and avoid unnec-
essary stresses in the boom system.
• When working with the extensions re-
tracted, keep a minimum distance of 2m
between the hoist and the rope guide on
the first extension. This to avoid incorrect
winding of the rope onto the drum.
3.5.6 Use of lifting equipment
DANGER
• Only use lifting accessories (hoist, grapple,
rotator) suitable for your crane. Contact a
HIAB service workshop.
• Never attempt to install add-on lifting
accessories yourself!
• Add-on lifting accessories may only be
installed by an authorised HIAB service
workshop.
• When using lifting accessories, follow the
instructions supplied with the equipment!
• Watch out for hazards!
• Never try to adjust lifting accessories when
you are working on the crane!
After the lifting accessories have been fitted:
1. Check that the lifting accessories are
securely fixed.
2. Only after this should you use your
crane.
