How is the operating manual structured?
Division – The chapters 1 to 8 contain a description of how to drive the truck crane.
– The chapters 9 to 15 contain a description of crane operation.
The complete operating manual must always be carried in the truck crane.
The basic safety instructions, also for crane operation, are included in
Chapter 2 only. Please read these safety instructions and observe them.
Structure of the
chapters Chapters 3 and 9 are structured according to the product, and give an over-
view of all operating elements on the truck crane. You will find cross-refer-
ences to the associated brief descriptions, and from there, to further chapters.
Chapters 4 to 8 and 10 to 14 describe procedures, and are therefore struc-
tured relative to these operations. For more extensive processes, the
description is given with
checklist and operating instructions .
– The checklists show the procedure in the required sequence, for example,
for rigging work. From there, cross-references take you to the correspond-
ing operation descriptions.
– The operation descriptions describe the work in detail, including the
required warnings and safety instructions .
You are obliged to read these sections before using the truck crane for the
first time
and if you are still unsure about how to operate the truck crane.

Risk of accidents when only referring to the checklists during operation
The checklists and operating instructions should always be regarded as a
single unit for the comprehensive description of the rigging.
It is only safe to operate the truck crane by referring to the checklists when
you are familiar with all the dangers which may occur, and are confident in
completing the necessary steps as described in the relevant operating
instructions.
If in doubt, always first read the section which is referred to in the checklist.
