2.1.1 Improper use
Manitowoc Crane Group Germany GmbH is not liable for damage resulting
from improper or unauthorized use of the GMK 6400 truck crane. The user
alone bears the risk.
Improper use includes:
– Transporting loads on the carrier.

ger beams or outrigger cylinders.
– Pushing or pulling loads or lifting them off the ground using the slewing
gear, derricking gear or telescoping mechanism.

– Two-hook operation with the boom extension and two-hook operation on
the main boom head without additional equipment.
– Setting RCL codes that do not correspond to the actual rigging mode.
– Working with an overridden RCL or overridden lifting limit switch.
– After RCL shutdown, increasing the working radius by pulling the raised
load at an angle (e.g. with a chain hoist).

the crane from overturning (outrigger pressure higher than 0 t).
– On-road driving in an unauthorized driving mode (axle load, dimension).
– Moving the rigged crane in an impermissible driving mode.
– Using equipment that is not permitted for the crane.
– Transporting people in any way using the lifting tackle, on the load, or in
the crane cab while driving.
