Danger Zones During Use - Kesla 2010 User Manual

- the surface must be sufficiently strong and steady.
- rotation of the stabilizer leg must be prevented with a locking pin (against tipping hazard)!
- check that the rear mounting bracket has been locked to the vehicle with a chain.
* Always connect the return hose before the pressure hoses. Make sure that it has been con-
nected; otherwise the control valve may become damaged.
* After installation there could be air in the hydraulic system which causes sudden and uncontrolla-
ble movements. Remove the air by brining all the cylinders carefully to the extreme positions 4-5
times.
* Check before switching on the pressure that all the crane's control levers are in the middle posi-
tion and that they also return to the middle position.
* Always apply parking brakes for the time of loading. If necessary, place blocks in front of wheels.
* Stabilizer legs are operated from a valve attached to the base or from the control position by re-
mote control.
* Spread out the Stabilizer legs as wide as possible to achieve good standing stability. If this is not
possible, start loading with small loads.
* The stabilizer legs are fitted with pressure-controlled check valves, so they hold in case of a pos-
sible overload or hose failure. The stabilizre legs are prevented from turning by pin locking, if nec-
essary. (For example, a stand-mounted crane is removed from the truck to its stabilizer legs). Pin
locking cannot be used during working.
* Please note that when the load increases, most of the weight goes to the stabilizer legs because
the truck springs have been lightened by stabilizer legs. As a result, it is recommended to shorten
the stabilizer legs in the mid of loading, in which case the weight shifts to the truck wheels.
* Avoid loading on a sloping surface. If this is not possible, use extreme caution and lift small loads.
When loading uphill, please remember that the pressure relief valve of reversing cylinders can be-
come overloaded and the load can escape downhill and cause an incident.
* The aggregate's standing stability is at its weakest when the load space is empty. When the ag-
gregate begins to fall, lower the grapple immediately to the ground. Do not drop the load by open-
ing the grapple.

2.3.1 Danger zones during use

* The label is big, attached to both sides of the hinged boom and indicates the danger zone during
operation.

Make sure that there are no unauthorized persons in the danger
zone during loading.
