3.2-2 Preparings for crane operation
•
Switch on the pump and, if the rotational speed of the vehicle is manually adjustable, select the
correct rotational speed. Engage, if necessary, the specified gear (for values see maintenance
manual or instruction plate in the operator’s cab). If necessary, switch on the power supply for the
crane. For temperatures below 0° see 3.2-1.
•
Extend all outriggers always to the full width before supporting and, if present, place swivel
supports in the supporting position and lock them properly. Always observe the minimum distances
stated in Chapter 1.3-1.

When extending the outrigger and support cylinder always ensure
that the area in which you are moving them is always in your field
of vision. If that is not possible for both sides at the same time
this operation must only be available for the side which you can
see (please consult your service workshop).
Before supporting the vehicle on asphalt surfaces ensure that there are no hollow spaces under them
such as manhole covers.
Before supporting the vehicle examine the condition of the ground in order if necessary to enlarge the
area of support. This will prevent the crane from sinking into the ground during loading or unloading
work. Suitable supports can be obtained from PALFINGER. Other supports used by you must not
break or sink under the loadings that occur when working with the crane. Supporting the vehicle on
manhole covers is prohibited.
