1. Move the unloaded load hook until just short
of the upper end position.
2. Stop immediately before reaching the end po-
sition and then carefully (by repeatedly press-
ing the control element) move to the end posi-
tion.
3. The movement of the chain must be stopped
due to deformation of the buffer and trigger-
ing the safety clutch. The engine will not be
turned off in the process.
4. Only have the safety clutch act for a short
time.
5. Following successful testing, the buffer must
be unloaded.
