NOTE
•
Material handling cranes all have overload shutdown and/or tilt
warning (unstable) systems. Always apply PARKING BRAKE
control (WP 0042) prior to crane operation.
•
Crane has a yellow caution light at a fixed operator's station and an
audible warning signal that alerts the operator when an unstable
crane condition occurs.
•
Crane has an overload shutdown system which senses lift cylinder
pressure to prevent overloading the crane. The system will shut
down the crane to prevent hoisting, boom extension, or boom
raising when an overload condition exists. Load lowering and boom
retraction functions will not be affected.
