Observe these instructions for safe handling of the crane. Special hazard notices are located in the corresponding sections in which the danger arises.

─     If the pendant control is damaged, it could send the wrong commands to the crane. The crane could then lift or travel unchecked. As a result of this people can be killed or injured. Only use the pendant control if there are no visible signs of damage on it. Do not throw, drop or jolt the pendant control.

─     The sheath of the control cable serves to protect the wiring while also acting as a strain reliever. Therefore do not simply wind up the control cable and glue the ends together to shorten it. This would eliminate any function as a strain reliever.

─     If the crane operator stumbles or falls, the pendant control may be unintentionally activated. These unintended crane movements could result in the death or injury of persons. Only operate the crane from a safe position with secure footing.

─     If the crane operator does not have an unobstructed view of the load, persons could be hit by the load and be killed or injured. Only operate the crane when the load, crane and operating range can all be seen. Otherwise, work together with a banksman.

─     When changing location with the pendant control (particularly when turning around), the sensitivity for the travel direction of the crane and trolley changes. This could cause unintended operating commands to be sent in the wrong direction. These unintended crane movements could result in the death or injury of persons. When changing location, proceed with the utmost caution. Observe the operating direction signs on the crane and the pendant control!

─     If the pendant control is not deactivated by the emergency stop button, unintended crane movements could result in death or injury of persons. Never leave the pendant control unsupervised without having pressed the emergency stop.
