GENERAL INFORMATION
1.3
PURPOSE OF THE CRANE
KESLA timber handling crane is designed for timber loading in contracting work. The crane is also
suitable for loading scrap, sand, fertilizer, etc. when grapples fit for purpose are being used. Using
the crane for lifting persons is prohibited!
1.4
RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS
* If work is carried out at low temperature, let oil circulate for a while through the valve system with
a low flow. Then slowly perform all the operating movements, back and forth, in order to make the
gaskets more flexible before they receive maximum pressure. The crane's lowest recommended
operating temperature is - 25°C.
* It should be noted that in lower temperatures hydraulic gaskets wear faster and the probability
that hoses and steel structures become more susceptible and steel structure's probability of brittle
fracture increases. When working in temperatures below - 25°C, it is preferable to lift smaller than
normal loads in order to avoid unnecessary damage.
* Similarly, in very warm conditions one should ensure that the hydraulic oil does not overheat
(<75°C). A too high oil temperature may cause damage to the gaskets and it also reduces oil life.
