You can unlock the slewing gear if it has been locked.
•
Press and hold the button (1) – the slewing gear is unlocked. The speed is
reduced to 10%.
The following requirements must be fulfilled before slewing:
– Houselock is switched off;
– The superstructure must be unlocked;
– Slewing is permissible with the current rigging mode;
– The current rigging mode is shown on the RCL display.
If slewing is not permissible with the current rigging mode, the slewing gear
will be locked.
Danger of overturning when slewing with an incorrectly set RCL
Before slewing, always check that the current rigging mode is shown on the
RCL display.
This prevents slewing operations being enabled within the impermissible
ranges, which would cause the truck crane to overturn.
Risk of crushing during slewing
Before slewing, operate the horn and ensure there are no persons in the
slewing range.
This prevents persons being crushed between the superstructure and the
carrier or between the superstructure and other parts.
Risk of the main boom buckling.
Do not accelerate the slewing speed to such a degree that the load starts
swinging.
