4.3-1 AOS Function (Oscillation Reduction)
The AOS oscillation reduction prevents the load arm from continuing to oscillate follow abrupt
movements. The oscillation is compensated electrohydraulically.
Turn on the AOS system. The oscillation reduction will then be
activated for the period in which you carry out the function,
plus an additional 2 seconds.
4.3-2 Manual Activation of the AOS Function
Palfinger has developed the manual AOS to prevent the load-bearing arm from moving upwards during
a constant load reduction (e.g., emptying of a cement bucket). The upward movement is compensated
electrohydraulically.
Operation:
Press the button for the concrete bucket function. You may
then begin reduction of the load on the load arm.
The AOS function remains active as long as you hold the
pushbutton down.
4.3-3 Load lifting gear and ancillary equipment
You can operate the crane with a range of different load lifting equipment such as a grab, rotator,
extensions, pallet fork, belts, ropes, manipulators, second hinged system etc. In addition to the crane
operating instructions the operating instructions for load lifting gear or ancillary equipment used must
be applied.
For some ancillary equipment special tackle from PALFINGER must be
used and mounted according to the following sketch, as otherwise
damage in the area of load lifting cannot be excluded (loss of
warranty!).
Please consult your PALFINGER service workshop.
Please observe the following in connection with load lifting gear:
•
The weights of the load lifting gear and accessory equipment count as part of the load.
•
The load lifting gear must be matched to the crane in terms of size and lifting capacity.
• A type plate must be attached to the load lifting gear showing details such as manufacturer, type
designation, manufacture number, weight, operating pressure, capacity, maximum permissible
lifting capacity and year of manufacture.
• The maximum lifting capacity of your crane is always determined by the weakest unit of load lifting
gear used. Please therefore always observe the lifting capacities stated on the load lifting gear.
• Familiarise yourself with the content of the operating instructions of the respective load lifting gear.
