Operating Instructions
4.1 Safety Instructions
When operating the i4507 system, always respect the safety rules and regulations
applicable in the country where you operate the crane to reduce the risk of injury
or damage to the equipment.
Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this system.
1. The i4507 Rated Capacity Indicator must be properly set up according to
the working site and to the configuration of the crane. A wrong set-up can
cause the i4507 indicator system to show unreliable information which may
cause hazardous conditions such as an overload.
2. The i4507 system is only an aid to the operator. Responsibility for the safe
operation of the crane lies with the crane operator. The i4507 system will
not necessarily prevent crane damage due to overloading and/or other
related causes.
3. Proper functioning of the equipment depends upon proper daily inspection
and conformity to the operating instructions described in
this manual.
4. During normal operation, the rated capacity of a crane should not be
exceeded. The overload indication should not be used as a normal operating
feature.
5. The crane should always be operated smoothly and at a safe speed.
6. In order to have a proper rated capacity and radius, the system must be
properly configured. Failure to properly configure the system can result in
machine breakage or tipping which could lead to serious injury or death.
7. The operator must verify the crane configurations (duty number) every time
he/she enters the crane and every time the crane is rigged.
Improper configuration of the i4507 system may also cause a
‘‘Zero Capacity’’ if no chart is found to match the configuration set
by the operator.
