CAB WINDOW OPERATION
See Figure 3-6.
Opening Windows for Ventilation
The right-side and rear windows can be opened for
ventilation as shown in Views A and B.
For non-European cabs only, the roof window can be opened
for ventilation in the same manner as the right-side window
(View A).
NOTE: European code requires a roof window that cannot
be opened.
Exiting Cab in Emergency
If you cannot exit the cab through the sliding door, proceed
as follows:
While seated in the cab seat, kick out the front window and
exit the cab through the opening. The front window is
attached to the cab frame with offset rubber molding that
allows the window to be kicked out.
OPERATING IN WIND
Wind adversely affects lifting capacity and stability. The
result could be loss of control over the load and crane, even
if the load is within the crane’s capacity.
Do not raise the boom for the purpose of measuring the wind
speed with the crane’s anemometer.
Wind speed (to include wind gusts) must be monitored by job
planners and supervisors.
The wind speed at the boom or jib point can be greater than
the wind speed at ground level. Also be aware that the larger
the sail area of the load, the greater the wind’s affect on the
load.
As a general rule, ratings and operating speeds must be
reduced when the wind causes load to swing forward
past allowable operating radius or sideways past either
boom hinge pin.
For wind conditions specific to this crane, see the Wind
Conditions chart at the end of this section or, if applicable,
see the wind conditions in the capacity charts provided with
the crane and attachment.

WARNING
Tipping Crane Hazard
The judgment and experience of qualified operators, job
planners, and supervisors shall be used to compensate
for the affect of wind on the lifted load and the boom by
reducing ratings or operating speeds, or a combination of
both.
Failing to observe this precaution can cause the crane to
tip or the boom and/or jib to collapse. Death or serious
injury to personnel can result.
