Risk of damage to the main boom
Brake the slewing movement down to a standstill before you switch off the
slewing gear. The slewing gear brake is automatically engaged when the
slewing gear is switched off.
In this way, you can prevent lateral forces from affecting the main boom
due to long delays or swinging loads.
