19-2-3 Precautions on operation
(T218351-036-0-0E)
(1) Do not lift loads in excess of the lifting capacity
If you lift loads in excess of the lifting capacity, an excessive
load acts on the crane which could cause it to break or tip over.
Before you start work, always confirm lifting capacity from the
lifting capacity chart. Lifting capacity varies with boom length
and working radius. Take care never to exceed the lifting
capacity under any circumstances.
(2) Never disable safety devices
If you deliberately disable the operation of safety devices and
continue work, you may apply an excessive load or overhoist
the wire rope without noticing and cause an accident.
This crane is fitted with safety devices to sound alarms or
automatically stop operations to prevent overloading or hook
overhoisting. Only work while all safety devices are set
correctly.
(3) Start and stop any lever operation gradually
Sudden starting, acceleration and stopping and other sudden or
violent operations are dangerous as they reduce the stability of
the load and cause the crane to break. Always operate the levers
and pedals smoothly and securely.
(4) Precautions when lifting long objects
Long loads are dangerous because they are unstable when lifted.
In these cases, tie a guide rope to each end of the load and hold
the lifting load stable.
