Preparings for crane operation 3.2-6
3.2-6 Putting crane into operating position
The preconditions for extending the crane are: the vehicle is properly supported and the mechanical
extensions are retracted and secured as described in Chapter 4.3.
If extensions or a fly jib are not properly retracted and secured they can slide out
of the hydraulic extendable arms when the crane is being extended and then
represent a high accident risk for you and others.
In your activity follow all the safety instructions in Chapter 1.
Cranes with floor control stand: cranes with floor control must be put into operating position from A-
control stand.
Control stand: Opposite side
(Side B) Control stand:
Control valve side (Side A)
A crane with floor control must be extended from side A. Otherwise
there is danger of injury as the crane arm slews upwards.
Cranes with radio remote control: On cranes with radio remote control make sure that you are not in
the vicinity of the boom as it slews upwards. Choose a standing place outside the danger area of the
crane (see chapter 4).
Raised-stand control: Cranes with raised-stand control are additionally equipped with floor control and
must be extended only from the floor control stand (Side A).
