Page 28
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.4 DANGER • Overloading could result in damage to the crane or in the worst case, personal injury or death • Never increase a hanging load, since that may cause a load holding valve to open and/or the vehicle to turn over.
Page 29
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.4 Load diagram The load diagrams are placed on the column and show the maximum loads your crane / JIB (if fitted) / hoist (if fitted) may lift in the entire working zone (manual extensions excluded). The load diagram drawing will also be found in the enclosed Technical Data.
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.5 3.3.5 Maximum load moment If your crane has reached the maximum load moment (lifting capacity), the OLP gives a warning and locks any crane movement that will increase the load moment. This is known as an OLP situation.
Page 31
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.5 Sling length Always attach the load using the shortest possible sling. The angle between the legs of the sling must not exceed 120°. The maximum working load (usually known as the working load limit (WLL) in standards) of a multilegged sling for general purposes is calculated by multiplying the WLL of a single leg by a mode factor, in accordance with the table.
Page 32
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.5 Working below ground level If you have to load or unload below the level of the ground: keep the first boom angle to about 10 to 30° above the horizontal plane. Heavy loads Lift heavy loads with the second boom in the optimum position in relation to the first boom.
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.7 3.3.7 Lifting loads with hoist DANGER • Only HIAB orginal ropes are to be used. • Check and clean hoist rope regularly but not using high pressure fluid jets neither steam jets. • Replace the rope if it is damaged.
Safety precautions and warnings Signals when using a crane DANGER • If it is not possible to see the load and the entire working area clearly the crane oper- ator is obliged to follow the instructions and signals given by a qualified person qualified.
Page 35
Safety precautions and warnings Stop all crane movements Also: Hold the load in position. Raise the open hand, with the palm clearly visible, and arm at shoulder height. Keep the hand still. Emergency stop for all movements by the crane. Raise the hands and the arms to an oblique angle.
