WARNING
(12) Stop work in strong winds
Loads of high volume or side area and long booms are subject
to strong wind loads due to wind pressure.
If the wind is strong and is received from behind the crane, the
wind load is added to the suspended load mass which can cause
the crane to tip over.
If a long boom derricked to a high angle is subjected to a strong
wind from the front, the crane can be tipped over.
If the wind has a gust speed of 10m/s or more, stop work
immediately, retract the boom and lower the load. If you are
working with a long boom or large load, stop work even if the
wind does not reach 10m/s.
13-1-2 Precautions before you start work
(0099-0166-1E)
(1) Keep the area of the operator's seat clean and tidy
Do not leave parts, tools or other objects in the area of the
operator's seat. These can cause unexpected accidents while you
are working.
Do not put aerosol spray cans, paint thinner, or other dangerous
combustibles in the cab. They could cause a fire.
(2) Adjusting the operator's seat
Adjust the operator's seat before starting the engine so that you
can reach all control levers and pedal comfortably with your
back resting on the seat-back.
(3) Only the operator may be in the cab
Before and during work, nobody other than the operator may sit
in the operator's seat or climb onto the crane. Passengers may
collide with obstructions or be thrown off the crane, or they
may cause a hazard by obstructing the operator's field of view.
