Operating Instructions
4.1 Safety recommendations:
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 read the following safety instructions before
trying to operate the system.
1. The machine operator must configure the crane and the work environment
correctly. A bad configuration could threaten the reliability of the system
and cause dangerous situations such as an overload.
2. The i4000 system is purely an aid to the operator. It is the operator’s
responsibility to handle the crane with caution, since the i4000 system will
not necessarily prevent damages to the machine due to an overload or other
causes.
3. The proper functioning of the equipment depends on a daily inspection
and on compliance with this manual’s operating instructions.
4. The crane should always be operated smoothly and at a safe speed.
5. In order to have an adequate work radius, the system must be correctly
configured. A wrong configuration may generate a wrong calculation
of the radius, which the operator will use to assess the maximum load
allowed for a given lifting operation. This may result in damages to or
toppling of the machine.
6. The operator must verify the crane’s parameters and the number of
strands used for each available hoist each time he gets in the machine or
the crane is configured.
Note : the configuration of each hoist is stored in the memory. When
the main hoist is replaced by the auxiliary hoist, the configuration and
the number of strands will change as a result.
