Risk of accidents if the lifting limit switch is overridden
You may override the lifting limit switch only if this is specified in the
operating instructions for carrying out maintenance or rigging work.
With the lifting limit switch overridden, you may drive only at the minimum
speed and without a load.
G
Risk of accidents due to gaps in monitoring
If the lifting limit switch is overridden, crane operation is no longer com-
pletely monitored.
When hoisting the lifting limit switch weight, the crane movement will be
stopped once. After moving the control lever again, the crane movement
will again be enabled and will not be switched off again.
S
Risk of damage due to overridden slewing gear shutdown.
If the lifting limit switch has been overridden, then the load torque related
shutdowns of the slewing gear will not be released (for example, if the pre-
tensioning pressure of the counterweights is too low). In this case, avoid
moving the control lever for slewing as long as the lifting limit switch is
overridden.
