This mobile crane has been built in accordance with the latest technology and approved safety reg‐
ulations. Nevertheless, danger to life and limb and damage to property may occur during its use. It

It is only permitted to operate the mobile crane when it is technically in sound condition and in ac‐
cordance with its regulations. Problems or faults which affect the safety of the mobile crane must
be rectified immediately. Please contact TADANO After-sales Service if you have any questions.
DANGER
Improper use of the mobile crane!
Improper use causes danger to life and limb.
1. Read and understand the operating instructions.

All specifications and descriptions in the operating instructions assume that the mobile crane is be‐

Proper Use
Proper use of the mobile crane consists exclusively of the lifting and lowering of unfixed loads. To
do this, the weight and center of gravity of the load must be known. The weight of the load may not
exceed the lifting capacity of the mobile crane.
A bottom block or hook tackle, in either case approved by TADANO, must be reeved to the hoisting
rope. The bottom block must be centered over the center of gravity of the load before lifting. It may
only be operated in the permissible setup conditions.
The mobile crane may only be moved if this is permitted according to the available moving and lift‐
ing capacity charts. The setup conditions and specifications given in the operating instructions must
be adhered to.
The mobile crane may only be operated in the temperature range from -25 °C to +40 °C (-13 °F to
104 °F) ambient temperature.
Any other use is classified as improper.
The manufacturer bears no liability for damage resulting from improper use of the mobile crane.
The responsibility for this is exclusively that of the director of operations and the crane operator.
