G
Risk of accidents from the boom floating position being switched off
Always switch on the boom floating position when the main boom is on a
dolly.
This prevents the full weight of the dolly briefly becoming suspended from
the main boom on uneven ground, the axle loads from rising suddenly,
or the truck crane from tipping when driving around corners.
G
Risk of accidents from the main boom dropping down
You may only switch the boom to the floating position once the main boom
has already been set down on the dolly.
This prevents the raised main boom from dropping down.
