The i4000 system is designed to aid the crane operator by indicating the machine’s parameters
which require special attention. If it is correctly calibrated, configured and operated, the i4000
system should work to prevent the crane from lifting a load in excess of the nominal load
authorised for the crane or the lifting rope.
This manual contains information regarding the operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance
procedures of the i4000 system. Please make sure you respect the safety rules currently in force
in the country where you are using the i4000 system, in order to reduce the risk of injuries or of
damages to the machinery. Please consider each safety directive mentioned in this manual when
using the i4000 system. This manual will help qualified personnel use the system and perform
its maintenance.
