Chapter 8 Crane operation
Load handling close to the crane using long lifting gear
•
Lift the load with the extension booms as far as possible retracted (1, 2).
•
Lower the load arm to 60°.
•
If necessary extend the hydraulic extension booms.
Upper limit range:
Boom system between 60° and 70°
•
Working with boom system higher than 60° is only allowed when the outrigger beams are fully
extended.
Danger!
At a boom position higher than 60°
•
Abrupt crane movements may lead to an excessive side
loading of the boom system.
Consequently the load may fall down. This creates an acute risk of
fatality for the operator and others.
When working above 60°, pay particular attention to the stated load limits.
Increasing the lift angle and height may result in side loading of the boom system. The overload
protection system is unable to monitor this type of loading.
Therefore pay particular attention to
•
working within the range shown in the load capacity chart;
•
smooth crane operation.
