Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.3 3.3.3 Maximum load [AR+] Lifting capacity Your crane has a certain lifting capacity, ex- pressed in kNm or tm. This lifting capacity is also known as the load moment. The lifting capacity is: the payload at hook multiplied by the outreach in metres that the crane can operate at different positions.
Page 26
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.3 Optimum position The weight that your crane can lift will be determined by: • stabiliser extensions positioned and legs pressed to ground. • The reach at which you are working and the optimum position of the boom. •...
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.4 WARNING Never operate the hydraulic extensions against a solid objet when the first boom is completely lifted. Do not try to push or compress loads when the first boom is fully lifted, as this could cause damage to the first boom cylinder. 3.3.4 Maximum load moment If your crane has reached the maximum load moment (lifting capacity), the OLP gives a...
Page 28
Safety precautions and warnings 3.3.4 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 >120º...
Safety precautions and warnings DANGER Never exceed the maximum permissible load- ing of the hook. Heavy loads cannot be handled with the boom straight. Set the second boom, so there is an angle in relation to the first boom. Loads at the extreme limit of the working zone Also in this case, angle down the second boom somewhat.
Page 30
Safety precautions and warnings Lift Raised arm and index finger raised. Circular motion with hand. Lower Arm pointing downwards and index finger down. Circular motion with hand. Stop all crane movements Also: Hold the load in position. Raise the open hand, with the palm clearly visible, and arm at shoulder height.
Page 31
Safety precautions and warnings Very short movement Place the hands a very short distance apart, with the palms facing each other. The hands may be held either horizontally or vertically. The next movement may be: Lift, lower, move the lifting gear, change the reach, or turn.
Page 32
Safety precautions and warnings Close the grapple Move both hands close together. Lift the open grapple a little Extend both arms at shoulder height, with the palms facing upwards. Make vertical movements with both arms outstretched. Keep the grapple in position briefly Raise the hand drooping slightly, with the fist clenched.
Safety precautions and warnings Use of the crane Starting crane operation DANGER • Wear a safety helmet (compulsory in some countries!). • Check that the ground is sufficiently flat and firm. • To ensure that the vehicle stays in its position, always engage the parking brake and place chocks under the wheels.
Page 34
Safety precautions and warnings DANGER • Do not stand in front of the hydraulically operated stabiliser legs when you are oper- ating them! • Never use the stabiliser legs as a parking brake, since the vehicle could start to slide. •...
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.1 3.5.1 Preparations for use DANGER Ensure that there are no unauthorised persons within the operating range of your crane! Mark out the working range, e.g. with cones. Put on your vehicle's warning lights. DANGER • If a part of the crane comes in contact with an electricity line, you will be electro- cuted! •...
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.2 3.5.2 Crane operation DANGER Your crane has a control system. The control system will help you to work safely. Nevertheless, you remain responsible for safe use of the crane! Therefore, always work according to the oper- ating instructions! In an emergency immediately switch off all crane movements!
Page 37
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.2 WARNING • Never push a load along the ground, or the vehicle's load space, with the extension boom. This can cause damage to the boom system. This will lead to expensive repairs. • Never use the extension boom as a jack. This could damage the slewing bearings and the connection between the crane column and the crane base.
Safety precautions and warnings 3.5.3 3.5.3 Driving with the crane DANGER • Never drive the vehicle if there is a load suspended from the crane. • Before you move the vehicle: Check that there is no pump flow to the main control valve.

Starting crane operation Starting operations [AR+] • General case: Place the vehicle on a flat, firm and stable surface. The vehicle inclination (α) during crane operation must not be more than 3º. If this value is exceed, unintentional crane movements can occur.
Page 68
Starting crane operation Engage the PTO Engage the PTO (Power Take Off) and bring the vehicle engine to the correct rpm. ! NOTE • Rpm too high: the oil in the hydraulic system might overheat. Rpm too low: during crane operation, the vehicle engine could stall.

During operation Functions The control system provides a large number of functions. Certain functions are standard, others are options. 6.1.1 Controlling the crane speed with the controller XSDrive At start up, the system by default is set to full speed. To reduce the speed, push button once.
During operation 6.1.3 6.1.3 Supervision of spools If a valve spool movement is greater than the equivalent lever or joystick movement on the controller, a safety function is tripped, and all crane movements stops. This occurs if a control lever on the valve is moved while the remote control is engaged.
During operation 6.1.6 6.1.6 ASC Automatic Speed Control The ASC function automatically provides the extra power by reducing the speed smoothly, when working close to the rated capacity. When the load decreases, normal speed is restored. 6.1.7 ADC Automatic Duty Control The purpose of the ADC function is to increase the lifting capacity by 10%.
During operation 6.1.9 6.1.9 Slewing sector [option] Within slewing sector, lifting capacity can be reduced due to stability. The overload warning will be given at a lower load in the limited sector than outside the sector. In case of an overload warning you may slew out of the sector but not further into it.
During operation OLP (Overload protection) OLP is a safety function that prevents overload- ing of the crane. With 90% of maximum permit- ted pressure the amber lamp on the lamp pole, if present, flashes. OLP boom system When 100% of the maximum permitted pressure is reached, OLP cuts in and stops all functions that increase the pressure.
During operation OLP - indications on the control- 6.3.1 XSDrive OLP boom system: The cylinder LEDs indicate a percentage of maximum pressure: • 70% of maximum pressure reached - lower LED on each cylinder light green • 90% of maximum pressure reached - lower LED on each cylinder flash red •...
During operation To release OLP If all functions have been blocked due to OLP it is possible to temporarily release OLP and oper- ate an appropriate crane function to correct the overload situation. OLP release is active in 5 second intervals. After each 5 second interval of OLP release there is a wait before the release operation can be activated again.
During operation OLP release on controller CombiDrive Push and hold the button ⑨ on the right hand side below the display handle. The unlocked padlock will appear in the centre display. On the user panel the cylinder pressure LEDs perform a running light.
Page 89
During operation To lift heavier loads than specified on the sign ③, the hook position must be moved to the nearest hydraulic extension, in accordance with the load plate on the crane. To retract the manual extensions 1. Locate the boom system as close as possible to the horizontal position, but low enough to reach the extension by hand.
