gency operation
The following requirements must be met before unlocking manually:

escopic section cannot retract by itself
or
– The telescopic section to be unlocked is secured against retracting by
itself by using an auxiliary crane. Telescoping is done with the auxiliary
crane

Risk of accident due to sudden retraction of a telescopic section
Before unlocking the telescopic section, secure it against automatic retrac-
tion. This prevents the retracting telescopic section from severing one of
your limbs or the truck crane from being damaged or overturned by the
telescopic section suddenly retracting.
