WARNING

Do not exceed crane load lift limits. In manual operation, overload

protection device is not functional and safe crane limits could be ex-

ceeded. Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.

WARNING

Pilot-operated overcenter valves which are active during manual valve

operation may allow the operator to lift a load which exceeds limits,

but when control lever is released, load will automatically lower.

WARNING

Before lifting load, check all rigging (lines, slings, chains, pallets, etc.)

for correct attachment to load and rated capacity. Failure to check

these items may cause load to fall, resulting in injury to personnel.

CAUTION

Continuous crane operation for extended periods of time may cause

hydraulic oil to overheat. Extended periods of high idle with PTO pump

engaged can also cause overheating. If controls start to stick in open

position or if overheating is suspected, discontinue crane operations,

shut off PTO pump, and notify your supervisor. Failure to comply may

result in damage to equipment.

NOTE

The operator is able to use the controls one at a time or in pairs to

move the hook or load to the desired position.

j.

Read and carefully follow the above warnings, cautions, and notes for crane

operation.
