1.2 REMARKS

Many thanks for the preference kindly given to our product. Please remember that the servicing instructions

and the load charts hereby reported and applied on the crane are an essential part of the crane supply itself.

They are mainly intended for the crane operator and include all necessary information on the admittable and

permissible field of usage for a safe operation. Anyway, these instructions are not a training manual for

beginners or unskilled operators, it must be stressed that as a fundamental presupposition only skilled and

professional crane operators are allowed to work with the crane.

The crane operator is directly responsible for the state of the crane and for every crane operation. When the

training is hurried and full of gaps, this is the origin of many accidents. This manual gives the guidelines for

a correct, safe usage of the crane and its rational maintenance. When daily and constantly applied, these

guidelines ensure long service life with minimum maintenance costs, high performance of the crane and

good commercial value after years. Moreover, most of the frequent accidents during operation and servicing

are avoided. Once this manual has been read carefully, keep it in good conditions and quickly available

close to the crane.

If a technical assistance is required please apply to the nearest authorized installer.

ATTENTION

As far as safety is concerned it is strongly recommended to carefully read the safety tips of the

chapter, SAFETY RULES.

ATTENTION

Should some or any part of this manual be not clear, please contact the Manufacturer.

IMPORTANT

When receiving this manual, check if all the data are correct. Inform the Manufacturer if so-

mething is found wrong.

not binding. The Manufacturer reserves the right to change at any time all the items, components and parts

deemed to be necessary for product improvement or commercial or production needs. This right is kept

without obligeance of quick updating of this manual. Fundamental data, performances and characteristics

of the product will be maintained.

1.3 MANUAL REVISION
