LOAD SAFETY DEVICE
The load safety devices include an
emergency shut-off valve and an overload
warning device. The emergency shut-off
valve prevents the boom, second boom or
arm from falling rapidly. The overload
warning device sounds an alarm when an
excessive load is detected.
Second boom (2-Piece boom)
Emergency shut-off valve
If the boom, second boom or arm cylinder
hose for lifting is ruptured, the emergency
shut-off valve is activated to prevent the
boom, second boom or arm from falling
rapidly.
• If the boom or arm stops due to the
breakage of hose, immediately move
away from the load being lifted and go
to a safe location.
• Since the emergency shut-off valve (1),
(2) or (3) is a safety device, you must not
disassemble it and/or replace or adjust
its internal part. Takeuchi shall not be
held responsible for any injuries,
accidents or product malfunction
caused by disassembly.
