11.9.9 Setting down counterweight for driving the truck crane
For driving with axle loads of at the most 12 t (26,500 lbs) the counterweight
must be completely unrigged;
à Driving modes, p. 6 - 1.
If the locally applicable regulations in the country of use allow driving with
axle loads greater than 12 t (26,500 lbs) then up to 21.2 t (46,738 lbs) of coun-
terweight can be transported on the truck crane. The axle loads are then
greater than 12 t (26,500 lbs).
Only the 7.0 t base plate (1) may be set down
directly on the counterweight platform.
Other sections are not secured by the retain-
ing devices (2) and cannot be set down in a flat
position.

Risk of accidents due to the counterweight slipping or tipping over!
Place only the 7.0 t base plate directly onto the counterweight platform and
always fasten the counterweight to the rear storage area with lashing
straps. In this way you prevent the counterweight from slipping.
S
Risk of damage to the derricking cylinder!
Always check whether the specifications in this section apply before setting
down the main boom.
In this way you can prevent the derricking cylinder from being pushed
against an incorrectly assembled counterweight combination and becom-
ing damaged.
