the operator has to answer thoroughly and correctly all questions asked during the setup procedure
in accordance with the real rigging state of the crane. To prevent material damage and serious or
even fatal accidents, the correct adjustment of the LMI has to be ensured before starting the crane
operation.

WARNINGS
The LMI is an operational aid that warns a crane operator of approaching overload conditions and
over hoist conditions that could cause damage to equipment and personnel.
The device is not, and shall not, be a substitute for good operator judgment, experience and use of
accepted safe crane operating procedures.
The responsibility for the safe crane operation shall remain with the crane operator who shall ensure
that all warnings and instructions supplied are fully understood and observed.
Prior to operating the crane, the operator must carefully and thoroughly read and understand the
information in this manual to ensure that he knows the operation and limitations of indicator and
crane.
The use of load or angle sensor bypass plugs for pile driving applications will render the system
inoperable from proper function and operation, and is not recommended. But, the option is available
to prevent momentary cutout conditions due to spiking load indications that may occur or interfere with
the pile driving application. After performing this application, the system must be returned to its normal
working condition with all sensors connected, and bypass plug removed. The pre-operation inspection
and calibration verification in SECTION 6 of this manual
MUST
be performed.
Proper functioning depends upon proper daily inspection and observance of the operating instructions
set forth in this manual. Refer to Section 6. Pre-Operation Inspection and Calibration Verification of
this handbook.
