1. Check if the roadway is levelled:
-
The maximum permissible tilt of the truck is 2°;
2. Check if there are no sharp turns along the driving path;
3. Check if the load capacity of the soil is sufficient:
-
Are there no cavities or pipes such as sewage systems, embankments, wells, cellars?
-
Is the soil hardened or are there suitable drive plates available?
-
Are there transitions from hard to soft soil?
4. Check if there is enough space to drive with an erected tower:

Mind the width of the vehicle with extended outriggers.
Check the position / status of the crane
1. Check the current wind force on the
touch screen
:
-
The maximum permissible wind force is 3 Bft (5.4 m/s);
-
Compare the current value with the weather forecast;
-
The wind force may fluctuate during time. Take this into account;
2. Check if the tyre pressure of all tyres is in the range of 9.0
– 9.2 bar (measured at cold tyres)
(see

3. Check if the crane is mounted halfway (so NOT fully erected):

Only the intermediate tower is extended;
4. Check if the jib is in
horizontal position
(NOT 30° topped):
-
If not, top the crane to
horizontal jib
;
5. Check if the jib length is 52 m (NOT 60 m) and if the 5
th
jib section is retracted:
-
If not, fold the crane until the jib length is 52 m;
6. Check if there is no load in the hoisting hook;
7. Let the trolley travel in or out till it is positioned 5 meters away from the tower:
-
Lift or lower the hoisting block till it is situated 5 meters away from the jib;
-
The upper frame is locked, with the jib over the front of the truck:
•
Check if the upper frame is correctly locked;
8. Turn off the
diesel engine crane
;
9. Check if the outrigger beams are all fully extended (
full outrigger base
);
10. Operate switch
all axles up / down
to create a ground clearance of approx. 10 cm of the
outrigger plates.
