Preparing for crane operation
Supporting the vehicle
Danger!
If the vehicle is not properly supported it may tip over. Working
without proper support is prohibited. This creates an acute risk of fatal
injury.
The crane must not be moved in working position until the vehicle has been properly supported.
Note!
The parking brake must be pulled all the time when supporting the
vehicle and during loading. Braked wheels need sufficient ground
contact.
Danger!
If the additional support of a vehicle is not extended the vehicle may
tip over. This creates an acute risk of fatal injury.
If the vehicle is equipped with additional supports, they must be extended as described below. The
vehicle is only stable with the supports fully extended (crane support and additional support if present).
All safety notes of chapter 2 shall be observed.
