Foreword

Foreword

These Operating Instructions together with the lifting capacity table form part of the delivery package for truck crane KMK 4080. They are intended principally for crane operators and contain all necessary information regarding the permissible uses and safe operation of truck crane KMK 4080.

Other crane documentation includes an outrigger pressure table, a maintenance manual and a spare parts list.

This operating manual is not a training manual for prospective crane operators! All descriptions are written explicitly for crane operators who have been trained to operate truck cranes.

Plan each application carefully. Obtain all necessary information regarding the intended journey (dis- tance, route, overhead clearance, load bearing capacity of bridges, etc.). Ascertain the conditions for the job (load bearing capacity of the ground, weight and dimensions of the loads to be lifted, required lengths of stroke and radius, restrictions on movement caused by buildings etc.). Collect the necessary equipment (lifting tackle, counterweight, materials to place beneath outriggers, etc.). Organise transportation and obtain any necessary driving permits.

Poor planning leads to improvisation and improvisation is the cause of many accidents!

A general message to all crane operators:

As the driver of a truck crane, you appreciate your responsiblity for the crane and for all work carried out in conjunction with the crane.

For this reason, observe the following advice for your safety and the safety of others:

Familiarize yourself with the truck crane and all of its operational states before initial use. Read through these Operating Instructions and compare the diagrams with the crane itself. Carry out the actions described on your truck crane stage by stage.

Always carry this operating manual and the corresponding lifting capacity table with you on the vehicle.

Take particular care to familiarize yourself with the safety equipment in the crane itself. Check the functioning of this equipment on a regular basis. Be sure to shut down the crane operation in case of breakdown or malfunction of safety equipment.

When driving on the road and operating the crane, comply with all relevant laws and regulations, such as the Accident Prevention Regulations, which are not reproduced in this manual.

These Operating Instructions contain many notes intended to draw your attention to certain dangers. Pay close attention to these notes!

All measurements in these Operating Instructions are given in US units of measurement. Metric measurements are sometimes given.

Ensur'e the operational safety of your truck crane through careful servicing and maintenance.

Never postpone necessary repair work. Always have repairs carried out by qualified personnel.

Use only Original Krupp Replacement Parts. For ordering, use the spare parts list for truck crane KMK 4080.

The Krupp after-sales service is always at your disposal for repair work.

We will be pleased to advise you on points arising through routine operation.

We are always grateful for your comments and suggestions.
