➤ If screwed crane fixings had to be removed, please use only new self-locking nuts when instal‐
ling.
➤ Avoid jerking when lifting, as this may damage components.
➤ Loads must be slowly lifted and carefully set down.
➤ Never allow the load to hang from the crane longer than necessary.
The following are forbidden:
■ Air transport of the machine by slinging beneath a helicopter.
■ Dropping by parachute.
3.5.2.2 Positioning
A suitable installation location for the machine prevents accidents and faults.
➤ Do not position the machine directly against a wall. A build-up of heat from the exhaust can
damage the machine.
➤ Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance.
➤ Do not operate in areas in which specific requirements regarding explosion protection are in
force.
➤ Ensure adequate ventilation.
➤ Place the machine in such a manner that the working conditions in its environment are not im‐
paired.
➤ Comply with limit values for ambient temperature and humidity.
➤ The intake air must not contain any damaging contaminants.
Damaging contaminants are for instance:
■ Exhaust gases from internal combustion engines,
■ Flammable, explosive, or chemically unstable gases or vapors.
■ Acid or base forming substances such as ammonia, chlorine, or hydrogen sulfide.
➤ Do not position the machine in the warm exhaust air flow from other machines.
➤ Keep suitable fire extinguishing agents ready for use.
➤ Chock the wheels to prevent unwanted movement.
➤ Do not place additional loads on the machine (e.g. excavator bucket as anti-theft measure).
3.5.2.3 Commissioning, operation and maintenance
During commissioning, operation, and maintenance you may be exposed to dangers resulting from
electricity, pressure, and temperature. Careless actions can cause accidents with severe adverse
effects for your health.
➤ Allow maintenance work to be carried out only by authorized personnel.
➤ Wear close-fitting, flame-resistant clothing. Wear protective clothing as necessary.
➤ Switch off the machine and lock out the supply disconnecting device.
➤ Wait until the compressor has automatically vented (check: the pressure gauge must read
0 psig!)
➤ Then open the outlet valve carefully to ensure that the line between the minimum pressure /
check valve and the compressed air outlet is vented.
➤ Allow the machine to cool down.
