OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 6030, 6030FS Operation
On-Board crane, – blocking the boom in position of rest
Movements and accelerations produced by working operations of the machine can cause damage to the slewing drive of the on-board crane, if the crane is not blocked.
The hydraulic on-board crane must therefore be blocked in its position of rest.
Risk of serious injuries due to movements of the crane.
Put the crane into operation only after all persons have left the danger area.
To block the boom:
Retract the boom completely.
Slew the boom in the direction of the blocking device (Fig. 2-132:) and lower it.
Withdraw the cotter pin at the tip of the boom.
Extend the boom carefully until the tip engages the blocking device (arrow, Fig. 2-132:).
Reinsert and lock the the cotter pin.
Checking the on-board crane Extract from the inspection and testing regulations
The on-board crane is approved in accordance with the Accident Prevention Regulations for Cranes (BGV D6, applicable only in Germany).
The on-board crane must be inspected regularly in accordance with the regulations in force in the country of use.
The inspections must be requested by the user of the crane. The expert or specialist entrusted with the inspection can be appointed at the user's discretion.
The user must ensure, however, that the appointed person meets the requirements.
The user is obliged to make available all documents required for the inspection and to ensure the smooth running of the inspection. He is furthermore obliged to provide, if required, crane operators and auxiliary personnel and the required test loads.
The result of the inspection is to be documented in an inspection record signed by the inspector. The inspection record serves as proof on the part of the user that the inspections have been carried out. The inspection record must contain all data required for crane identification and for the performance of further regular inspections.
