2.4 Safety instructions for driving the truck crane
Walk around and inspect the truck crane before you start the vehicle. Check the
condition of the truck crane carefully using the checklists in the operating manual.
Do not assume everything is in working order simply because it was in working
order at the end of the last shift.
Check that all covers and safety devices are fitted properly and that they are in
good condition before starting the vehicle.
Use the appropriate access aids when checking overhead crane parts. Do not
use parts of the crane as access aids.
If necessary, remove any ice and snow from the truck crane before truck crane.
Keep all handles, steps, step treads and ladders free of dirt, snow and ice.
Keep all electric and hydraulic connections free of dirt. Check the connecting
points for dust, foreign bodies and moisture before installation. This also applies
to protective caps and bridging plugs.
After a lightning strike, always have the truck crane checked by
