General safety regulations
Carefully read through the instruction manual before using the crane. Important data relating to your
particular crane can be found in the crane’s technical data. Incorrect usage can result in injuries to you
and damage to the crane.
Operating a crane requires a high level of expertise, as well as knowledge about the machine you are
using. It is important for you to acquire knowledge and to train with regard to the crane’s behaviour.
Practice the movement pattern and always work with smaller loads until you are completely familiar
with the crane. Take care to ensure that nobody is within the safety zone (20 m).
FARMA cranes are intended for normal use within agriculture and forestry, and may only be used by
individuals who possess knowledge about the handling of agricultural machinery.
