3.6 SAFETY INSTRUCTION.
When using the SPIDER you must always make sure that the
necessary stability is maintained. The control system secures
that the maximum reachable load according to the outreach is
limited by the chosen positions of the outriggers.
When max. capacity has been reached, a red “Stability” light on
the control box and on the outriggers with minimum load light
up. This indicates that the “cut-out” zone, has been reached.
Simultaneously all movements that could further reduce stability
are stopped. Only movements that will reduce the working radius
and centre the load are permitted. “Boom In” and “Boom Up”.
If the work demands a bigger outreach the outriggers must be
changed if the “cut-out” zone has been reached.
Changing the position of the outrigger shall only be performed
with platform in transport position and basket dismounted.
Safe work with the SPIDER demands that the instructions for
use and maintenance are followed, and that the daily safety
check is performed prior to the operation of the platform.
