MECHANICAL HAZARDS
The most common mechanical hazards due to a failure to follow the instructions in this user manual
are listed below.
A.2.1
STRUCTURAL RESISTANCE
The structural resistance may be impaired by the following adverse working conditions:
ENVIRONMENTAL TEMPERATURE
- Weakening of the crane structure
- Hydraulic oil viscosity too low/high
- Hydraulic oil overheating
- Weakening of plastic components
- Degradation of flexible hoses (-40°C ÷ 100°C)
INCLINATION OF THE CRANE'S BASE
- Crane rotation not possible
- Overpressure in slewing cylinders
- Overstress in rack - pinion wheel or thrust block - motor coupling
- Overstress in crane structure
- Loss of stability
INCLINATION OF THE CRANE'S BOOMS
When the crane works with the booms in a near-vertical alignment (lifting moment is near zero), the
load limiting device could operate without the expected accuracy due to:
- oscillations / accelerations of the booms
- inclination of the vehicle
- wind
- joint clearances, frictions
This could cause:
- Overstress in crane structure
- Loss of stability
OIL FLOW RATE TO MAIN CONTROL VALVE
- Overstress in crane's structure caused by excessive speed of movement
- Excessive oil temperature
WIND SPEED
- Overstress in crane structure
- Excessive oscillation of the load
- Loss of stability
PRECIPITATION
- Lightening, electric shock
- General malfunctioning of the electric system
USE IN EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS
- Flammable hydraulic fluid and plastic components
INSTALLATION ON RIGID BASE
- Excessive forces of inertia
USE IN MARINE ENVIRONMENT
- Corrosion of structural components: cylinder rods, pins, winch rope (offshore cranes)
- Excessive forces due to oscillation/inclination (ship-mounted cranes)
subject to change without notice
LIFTING COMPONENT
- Excessive forces if lifting components other than hook are used
IP PROTECTION LEVEL
- Electric system faults (safety and controls)
WARNINGS
- Do NOT use the crane if the operating conditions are incompatible with the instructions given in
this manual. Specifically, the user must contact the crane manufacturer if the environmental
temperature is outside the range given in this manual.
- Handling of loads at heights requires full risk assessment: strictly adhere to the load charts and
always fully extend the stabilizers.
- Suspended loads must not be left unsupervised: put the load on a stable place before leaving the
control station.
- Do not slew the crane at max. speed up to the end of stroke (dead point), but approach slowly.
- Clear any snow or ice from the crane booms to prevent excessive stress caused by the extra
weight and to ensure that movement of telescopic components is not affected.
- Contact an authorised assistance centre before using or transporting the crane in a marine
environment.
- The lifting component to which the diagrams refer in this manual is the crane hook. If other lifting
components are used, the user must contact an authorised assistance centre to obtain a
dedicated load chart.
- Maintenance on the machine which requires welding or grinding is forbidden. Refer to an
authorised assistance centre if repairs or modifications to metalwork are required.

A.2.2
CRUSHING HAZARD
Crushing hazards derive from moving components on the crane:
• body crushing between the crane and vehicle
• upper limb crushing between base and crane booms
• body crushing between stabilisers and a stationary object during stabilizer opening
• limb crushing when stabiliser legs are retracted
• lower limb crushing under the stabiliser feet
• limb crushing in openings
WARNINGS
- Cordon off the working area using barriers and warning signs before starting any operations with
the crane. Use special signals to warn others when crane movement is about to start. Avoid
hazardous situations in which the user or other personnel may be crushed by the crane,
stabilizers or the load.
- Do NOT climb on to the crane base when the vehicle's engine is running.
- When handling the crane, avoid grasping the control levers: operate them only with the fingers.
- Keep all personnel away from the hydraulic stabiliser extensions during opening.
- Do NOT place limbs under the stabiliser feet.
subject to change without notice
- Do NOT place lower limbs between the stabiliser legs and the vehicle. Do NOT place hands near
the stabiliser extensions during retraction.
- Do NOT perform maintenance when the crane is moving or when the power take-off is enabled.
Do NOT touch the crane when it is moving.
- Abide by safety distances indicated in EN 349 and make sure all others do the same.
A.2.3
CUTTING HAZARD
Residual hazard associated with movement of booms and connecting rods. A residual cutting
hazard exists for the upper limbs between moving parts associated with the booms, base and
telescopic components.
WARNINGS
- When the crane is working, do NOT place upper limbs between the boom joints, near connecting
rods or in the area where the stabiliser extensions are retracted into the base. Do NOT insert
fingers, feet or limbs inside openings on moving parts.
- Do NOT stand between the base and booms during crane folding.
subject to change without notice
A.2.4
IMPACT HAZARD
Residual hazard associated with:
• impact with the crane boom during unfolding/folding
• impact with the moving load
• impact with the stabilisers
• impact caused by an accidental release of the load
WARNINGS
- Take care not to bump against moving parts on the crane. Specifically, do NOT bang your head
on the boom during working operations.
-
- Take great care not to bump against the suspended load. The load must always be moved under
safe conditions away from potential hazards and obstacles, as specified in this manual.
- Always check that the load lifting components (hook, shackle, slings, chains) are in perfect
condition. Do NOT exceed the maximum load indicated on the plate. Check that the load is
properly secured to prevent accidental falling. Do NOT stand under the load.
- If the crane is equipped with turning stabilizers, take care to prevent impact with things and
persons during rotation.
subject to change without notice
A.2.5
OIL LEAK HAZARD
Hydraulic fluid leaks can cause burns, irritation to the skin and eyes and can even penetrate under
the skin.
These hazards are associated with incorrect tightening of fittings, rubbing of hoses against metal
parts, excessive bending of hoses, incorrect disconnection of hoses during maintenance, incorrect
repairs, ageing, etc.
WARNINGS
- When the crane is new and used for the first time, small oil leaks from the fittings may occur due
to the heat expansion. Tighten the fittings using the torques given in this manual. Couplings may
be damaged if they are too tight.
- The crane is designed in such a way to prevent rubbing of hoses against moving parts. However
the installation configuration may cause hoses to come into contact with other moving parts. If this
happens use additional sheaths to protect the hoses.
- If a hose is damaged, immediately switch OFF the machine and identify the damaged area using
a piece of cardboard or wood. Spurts of fluid from a very small hole are powerful enough to
penetrate the skin.
- Precautions shall be taken when disconnecting hydraulic tubing and hoses to ensure that no
hydraulic pressure is retained in the line when the power supply to the system is switched OFF.
- When using blowtorches and other welding equipment for repairs (at an authorised assistance
centres only) switch OFF the pressure to the hydraulic system and work away from hoses and
steel lines.

A.2.6
LOSS OF STABILITY
Loss of stability can cause serious damage to property and injury to persons. Carefully follow the
stabilizing procedure specified in this user manual. Do NOT tamper with safety devices. Stabilize the
crane on firm ground.
WARNINGS
- Check that the parking brake is ON and the wheels are secured by using chocks.
- Check that the stabiliser extensions are fully open (NO CE)
- Make sure that the stabilizer feet are correctly deployed and the ground can support their max.
pressure (see D.1). If it does not, retract the hydraulic extensions immediately, place the load on
the ground and increase the support area using larger support pads.
subject to change without notice
- Do NOT place the stabilizer feet near drains, manholes, wells, electric conduits and in general on
any surface unable to support the maximum stabilizer force.
- When working on bridges the stabilizer feet must be placed at least one metre from the edge.
Make sure that the stabilizers are at a safe distance from ditches and steep slopes. As a general
rule the distance A between a stabilizer leg and the edge must be at least 2 times the depth B of
the ditch.

- Wear ear protection equipment if the noise level in the operating position exceeds 80 dB(A) as a
result of other machinery or equipment in use.
subject to change without notice
A.6
VIBRATION HAZARDS
There are no significant vibration hazards in that a loader crane is used for short periods and
therefore there is no significant effect on the operator.
A.7
HAZARDS DUE TO TOXIC SUBSTANCES
These hazards are associated with:
• Inhalation of exhaust fumes or toxic substances caused by the working environment and/or the
substances moved.
• Incorrect handling or disposal of hydraulic oil.
• Incorrect handling or disposal of grease.
• Fire caused by highly flammable hydraulic fluid.
WARNINGS FOR TOXIC FUMES AND SUBSTANCES
Control positions must be located so that operators are not exposed to inhalation of exhaust fumes
and toxic substances caused by the working environment and/or the substances moved.
If the operator is exposed to exhaust fumes move the exhaust pipe outlet point further away from the
working position (e.g. using removable flexible hosing).
Wear a mask if the crane is used in environments with toxic fumes or substances.
WARNINGS FOR HYDRAULIC OIL AND INDUSTRIAL GREASE
These substances must be handled with care in a ventilated environment. Wear protective gloves
and goggles. They must be stored and moved in sealed containers to prevent leaks and accidental
contact with skin and eyes.
Store used oil and grease in sealed containers at a temperature less than 65°C. Contact an
authorised waste management company to dispose of them.
These substances are flammable. Keep all naked flames well away.
IN THE EVENT OF FIRE...
do NOT use water to extinguish fires. Use foam or CO2. Wear a gas mask.
IN THE EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL SPILLAGE...
- of hydraulic oil, use sand or sawdust to contain the fluid. Then place it in a container suitable for
disposal. If the spillage occurs in water contact the relevant authorities.
- of grease, wait for the grease to solidify. Then use a spade to scrape up the material and place it

A.12
HAZARDS DUE TO INCORRECT LIFTING OPERATIONS
Residual hazards exist as a result of incorrect lifting operations:
• Loss of stability
• Uncontrollable load, overload, exceeding the overturning limit
• Uncontrollable speed of movements, oscillation of the load
• Unexpected or accidental movement of loads
• Unsuitable, worn or unsafe lifting devices/accessories
• Lifting of people
• Use during high winds
• Risk of damaging load support surfaces
WARNINGS
The following movements and operations with the crane are strictly forbidden:
- Using the crane to drag, extract, remove, push or crush fixed or stuck objects.
- Dragging of loads on the ground, on guides, resting against a wall, etc.
- Brisk movements (sudden slewing, raising, lowering) causing significant load oscillation or
abnormal vibrations on crane structure.
subject to change without notice
- Lifting of loads not placed on rigid and fixed supports unless the user knows the weight of the load
being moved: e.g. lift truck releasing an excessive load on the hook; lifting a floating load, etc.
- Movements very close to fixed (walls, trees, etc.) and mobile (cranes, forklift trucks, gantry cranes,
etc.) objects.
- Lifting of people.
- Using lifting components which are worn, not suitable for the load or without safety devices. Risk
of accidental loss/fall, slipping, excessive rotation or tipping of the load and uncontrollable
movements.
subject to change without notice
- Using the machine under adverse weather conditions (e.g. high winds).
- Placing the load on surfaces with unsuitable strength, area or inclination.
- Handling of loads at heights is strongly unrecommended: the load could bump against the booms
and oscillations of load and booms could cause a sudden increase of the lifting/tipping moment. If
this operation is anyhow needed, fully extend the stabilizers and reduce the working speed.

A.13
HOW TO TRANSPORT THE CRANE
Before installation, the crane must be moved safely, in order to avoid falls and impacts with objects
and persons. During transport of the crane, the carrier must follow the instructions below:
• The carrier is responsible for the crane and he must be qualified and authorized.
• Use means of transport and lifting equipment and tools with adequate capacity.
• Lift the crane using a lift truck, a crane or a bridge crane.
• During transport by land and sea, fix the crane or its container to the mean of transport (body,
container, hold, etc.). Protect the crane from atmospheric agents. Never unpack the crane.
• During transport the swivel bridge must be locked with the suitable swivel lock (see E.6).
LIFTING WITH A LIFT TRUCK
Ensure that the 2.boom of the crane is facing the lift truck.
Insert the forks under the base in correspondence to the indicated arrows (see figure).
Secure the crane to the forks.
LIFTING WITH A CRANE
Insert a shackle in each suitable lifting eye on the 1.boom (see figure) and connect properly to a
hook. Make sure to limit the load oscillations.

SAFETY DEVICES
B.5.1
OVERCENTER VALVES
The overcenter valves are fitted on the 1st boom cylinder and on the 2nd boom cylinder. Their
purpose is to lower or block the load if the pressure into the cylinders reaches the setting value. So
the crane structure is made safe.
When the valve opens, the operator must retract the hydraulic extensions immediately, to stop
the descent of the load.
B.5.2
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
The emergency stop buttons are installed at the control positions of EC cranes.
In case of danger or emergency, the crane’s movements can be blocked immediately by pressing
one of the stop buttons.
To restore the normal operating conditions, turn the head of the button until the release is engaged
and the button returns to its normal position.
Before restoring the normal operating conditions, always check that the emergency situation
no longer exists and that the safety is guaranteed again.
subject to change without notice
B.5.3
MOMENT LIMITER
The purpose of the moment limiter is to protect the crane's structure from overload and ensure
machine stability. It constantly detects the pressure in the 1st boom cylinder and intervenes when
the lifting moment exceeds the setting value.
When a overload condition is reached, the crane movements are blocked according to the figure
below.
NO CE MOMENT LIMITER
To remove the overload condition, it is necessary to retract the hydraulic extensions until the lifting
moment falls below the setting value.
When the 1st boom cylinder is fully extended, the moment limiter could intervene even if the
crane is not loaded. To unblock the crane proceed as follows:
1) Push three/four times repeatedly the lever operating the hydraulic extensions.
2) Close the 1st boom cylinder slowly.
See UM of 3XL and 4XL for information about CE moment limiters.
subject to change without notice
B.5.4
LOCKING DEVICES FOR STABILIZER EXTENSIONS
FOR ALL CRANE VERSIONS
On both sides of the base an automatic lock is installed.
Its purpose is to lock automatically the stabilizer extension in its fully closed position. To release the
extension and pull it out, it’s necessary to pull the automatic lock and pull out the extension with the
correspondent control. To make this operation easier, a support was designed to keep raised the
automatic lock and so allows to extend the outriggers.
FOR CRANES WITH MANUALLY OPERATED STABILIZER EXTENSIONS
On both sides of the base two locking devices are installed: an automatic lock and a semi-automatic
locking device with lever.
The purpose of the locking device with lever is to lock the stabilizer extension in its fully retracted
and fully extended, when engaged.
The following sign means that you have to turn the lever downwards in order to disengage the
locking device.
Failure to lock the stabilizer extensions correctly when transporting the machine may cause
damage to property and injury to people.

SLEWING LIMITERS
The NO CE crane can be equipped with slewing limiter: its purpose is to block the crane rotation
toward the prohibited working zone (for example in front of the truck cab).
The installation of the slewing limiter after the crane sale must be made at an authorized
assistance center.
MECHANICAL LIMITER (OPTIONAL FOR NO CE CRANE)
The device consists of two plastic spacers inserted inside the rotation cylinders so as to limit the
stroke of the pistons.
B.5.7
LOCKING DEVICE FOR MANUAL EXTENSIONS
Two locking plates are mounted at the end of the last hydraulic extension to prevent the accidental
removal of the manual extension.
The plates allow the manual extension to slide freely between the fully retracted and fully extended
position. In order to remove a manual extension, first unscrew the fixing screws and remove the
plates.
During the extraction of the manual extension it’s necessary to avoid the residual risks due to
this operation (see A.14).

GAUGES AND INDICATORS
B.6.1
GAUGES ON OIL TANK
OIL LEVEL INDICATORS
The oil tank is fitted with two visual level indicators in order to check the amount of oil in the tank.
THERMOMETER
CE cranes are fitted with a thermometer that shows the current oil temperature in degrees Celsius:
• Yellow sector (T > 50°C): it is dangerous to touch hydraulic elements due to high temperature.
• Red sector (T > 80°C): the user must suspend work until the temperature falls below 80°C.
Maximum level
Minimum level
subject to change without notice
CLOGGING INDICATOR
The CE tank filter and the high pressure filter (option) have clogging indicators that indicate when
the filter cartridge has to be replaced (pressure gauge on red).
RDC-cranes are always equipped with high pressure filter and clogging indicators.
B.6.2
LOAD INDICATORS
SIGNAL LIGHT TOWER (STANDARD FOR CE/RDC CRANES)
The signal tower provides visual and audible warning signals to indicate the load level of crane:
• Flashing green light, no audible signal: 90% of lifting capacity is not reached
• Fixed orange light, intermittent audible signal: 90% of lifting capacity is reached
• Fixed red light, continuous audible signal: 100% of lifting capacity is reached
3XL/4XL DASHBOARDS
See UM for the stability control system installed.

PRESSURE GAUGES (OPTION FOR NO CE)
The pressure gauges indicate the pressure of the 1.boom cylinder.
• Green sector: 90% of lifting capacity is not reached
• Yellow sector: 90% of lifting capacity is reached
• Red sector: 100% of lifting capacity is reached
B.6.3
LEVEL INDICATOR
Near the stabilizers controls there are level indicators that show the inclination of the base.
The figure below shows an inclination of 3°.
subject to change without notice
B.6.4
OPERATING HOURS COUNTER (NO CE, NO TOP)
The hours counter is installed at the control station on the main control valve side.
Purpose of the counter is to indicate the total operating hours of the crane: the user shall perform the
planned maintenance at the intervals shown in the Maintenance Record (see C.3).
B.6.5
VISUAL-AUDIBLE WARNING DEVICE IN CABIN
The Road Safety Regulations set out the maximum dimensions of motor vehicles.
For this reason in CE area a visual-audible warning device is installed in cabin: this gives the driver
permission to move the vehicle under safety conditions. The device gives the following signals:
• Green light, no audible signal: all stabilizer extensions are correctly closed, the crane's boom is
in transport position.
• Red light, intermittent audible signal: one or more stabilizer extensions are not closed correctly
and/or the crane's boom is not in transport position.
It is prohibited to move the vehicle when the warning LED light is red.

OPERATING THE CRANE
B.7.1
PRELIMINARY CHECKS BEFORE OPERATION
Before using the crane check that
- crane's structure, safety devices and safety signs are intact.
- there are no parts on the equipment which have not been checked or are not permitted.
- hydraulic system, couplings, valves, safety devices and indicators are efficient.
- there are no oil leaks.
- status of maintenance, coupling and tightness of hooks, shackles, cables, chains, fixing screws,
screws, nuts, bolts, pins and lifting equipment is perfect.
- oil filters are not clogged.
- oil level in the tank is above the minimum level.
- there is enough fuel in the tank of vehicle.
- vehicle is blocked with parking brake and wheel chocks
- all unauthorised personnel are outside the crane's working area.
- lifting component is suitable and intact.
- stability control system is functioning (only for CE cranes): check that the leds of proximities
mounted on crane base and on additional stabilizers are ON when the crane is correctly
stabilized.
- ground can support the maximum pressure of stabilizer feet (see D.1).
- all safety measures are properly executed (see A)
- service conditions are fulfilled (see B.3.3)
If any of the above conditions is not fulfilled, stop work immediately, perform the necessary
maintenance and if necessary contact an authorised assistance centre.
B.7.2
START-UP OPERATION
The operator must follow this procedure:
- Take the engine to the speed recommended by the installer for the crane. Push the clutch and
engage the power take-off; release the clutch gradually.
Never accelerate over the speed recommended with the power take-off engaged because the
power take-off might break and the operational speed of the crane would exceed the speed
considered for the structural test on the machine.
Operating the crane at a speed exceeding the rated one might cause a serious accident and the risk
of breakage due to fatigue is higher.
Moreover for CE cranes
- Feed the electric installation of the crane.
Moreover for RDC cranes
- Turn on the electric power supply of the crane
The crane is now ready for operation.

The load chart shows the rated loads (kg) that the crane can lift depending on working radius (m).
The load chart applied on the crane shows the rated loads for the crane with horizontal booms; the
chart showing the whole working range is given in the Technical Sheet.
The manual extensions (*) are shown separated from the hydraulic extensions.
The winch load chart shows the rated loads that can be hoisted by winch only.
100% indicates that the rated loads can be lifted only if the stabilizers are fully extended.
Fmax is the maximum force that the stabilizer can impose on the ground.
B.7.9
LIFTING OPERATIONS
Before beginning the lifting operations it is necessary to make sure that:
- lifting accessories (shackles, hooks, ropes, chains, bands, etc.) have a lifting capacity greater than
the load to be lifted.
- apply hoisting cables, ropes, chains, bands to the hook so that their safety is not compromised.
- lift the loads from their center of gravity and make sure that they cannot move, slide and rotate.
- avoid sudden movements, operate the control levers gently and gradually. Do not swing the load.
- do NOT interrupt the movements suddenly, mostly when lowering and rotating the loads.
- never take loads or the crane boom above the control position.
- fully retract all hydraulic extensions before every lifting operation.
- prevent the load from colliding with the crane structure, the vehicle or obstacles nearby. It is
necessary to hold the load at safety distance DL > 1 m from the crane structure and obstacles.
DL
COMBINED MOVEMENTS
The crane controls can carry out some movements at the same time by moving two levers
simultaneously. The speed of each movement decreases/increases when using two functions at the
same time. In case of proportional main valve and variable displacement pump the speed of each
movement is constant when using two functions at the same time.
Most attention must be paid when releasing/operating a control because the speed of the other
function could increase/decrease suddenly: it is recommended to not use more than one lever at the
same time.

USE WITH MANUAL EXTENSIONS
The manual extensions can be used only with the hook to increase the crane's outreach.
The maximum capacity of each manual extension is constant (see A.14), indicated in the load chart
and marked on a plate applied on the extension itself.
The manual extensions must be removed when not in use, otherwise the rated capacities shall be
reduced by their weights (see D.1).
In CE area, the safe use of manual extensions is ensured by the moment limiter (see UM for RLC
and 3XL/4XL).
INSTALLATION OF A MANUAL EXTENSION
The procedure for a correct installation of a manual extension is the following:
1) Put the extension onto a stable surface by means of a suitable lifting tool.
2) Slowly move the crane boom so that the extension enters it; check that the pin holes are aligned.
3) Lock the manual extension with the pin and secure with the safety lock.
EXTRACTION OF A MANUAL EXTENSION
If a manual extension has to be extracted from the crane boom, operate as follows:
1) Position the crane with the boom directed towards the ground:
2) Remove the safety lock and the lock pin.
3) Extract the extension until the pin holes are aligned; insert the lock pin and secure with the safety
lock.

USE WITH BUCKET-GRAB
The bucket can only be operated when the crane opening procedure is complete.
The control is used to open and close the bucket thus allowing to lift and release the load.
The bucket is often secured to a hydraulic rotor that allows to rotate on its own axis. There is a
separate control for this.
CONTROLS
CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
Use of the equipment is forbidden before the crane is declared conform to the Machinery Directive.
The bucket-grab shall be connected to the last hydraulic extension with a special attachment and/or
with a rotator according to essential safety requirements.
If the crane is equipped with an additional lifting tool intended to push to the ground (bucket-
grab-drill), the rated capacities are not derated but the stress history class becomes irreversibly S1
(see B.2), even if the equipment is removed later on.
For further information please refer to the user and maintenance manual of the additional tool.
B.7.17
COMPULSORY CHECKS BEFORE LEAVING THE WORK PLACE
Before leaving the work place check that:
- control panel of the crane is not powered.
- power take-off is disengaged.
- (for cranes with stabilizers) the stabilizers legs are fully retracted and all stabilizer extensions are
blocked with the stabilizer lock devices.
- crane is placed in transport position and there are no crane components or accessories protruding
outside the profile of the vehicle.
- (for CE cranes with stabilizers) the warning LED light in cab is green (see B.6.5).

USE UNDER SPECIAL SERVICE CONDITIONS
Exceptionally, the crane can be operated even if the service conditions are not met, i.e when:
- the stabilizers feet are deployed on a soft surface
- the crane is operated in low-temperature environments
- the inclination angle of the crane's base exceeds the max. permitted value
- the crane is operated in-service wind
In these events the entity of the unfavourable condition shall be estimated by skilled technicians.
If more conditions should be present at the same time, all the respective derating factors shall be
taken into account.
B.8.1
STABILIZERS ON SOFT SURFACE
It could happen that the stabilizers must be deployed on a soft or unstable surface. In this event, if
the user has not suitable support pads at disposal, a derating factor shall be applied to the max.
working pressure, as follows:
pr = κs · pmax
with
where:
κs is the derating factor to apply if the support surface has insufficient bearing capacity
pr is the reduced pressure
pmax is the max. working pressure under standard conditions
psur is the effective bearing capacity of the surface supporting the stabilizers
pstab is the max. stabilizer pressure on the ground (see D.1)
The following table shows typical values of bearing capacity (psur) for different soil types: these
values are only indicative and can change depending on material, humidity, granulometry, hardness,
inclination and other soil properties and conditions.

LOW-TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENTS
The crane is designed to withstand the maximum stresses when the environmental temperature is
within the range given in B.3.3. When the environmental temperature is below the allowable range,
then a derating factor shall be applied to the max. working pressure, as follows:
pr = κT · pmax
where:
κT is the derating factor to apply when working in low-temperatures environments
pr is the reduced pressure
pmax is the max. working pressure under standard conditions
The table below shows the value of κT as the environmental temperature changes.

HIGH BASE INCLINATION
The crane can slew freely and safely the rated loads when the base inclination is below the max.
permitted value given in B.3.3 and D.1. If the base inclination is higher than the maximum permitted,
then a derating factor shall be applied to the max. working pressure, as follows:
pr = κi · pmax
where:
κi is the derating factor to apply if the base inclination is higher than the maximum permitted
pr is the reduced pressure
pmax is the max. working pressure under standard conditions
The graphic below shows the trend of κi as the inclination changes, for history classes S2 and S1
(see B.2).

B.8.4
IN-SERVICE WIND
The crane is designed to withstand occasionals loads due to the wind effects.
According to EN 13001-2, the crane can be safely operated under the following wind state:
- Wind state: Light
- Max. mean wind speed: v = 9.4 m/s (34 km/h, 5 Beaufort)
If the wind speed should exceed the limit above, then a derating factor shall be applied to the max.
working pressure, as follows:
pr = κw · pmax
where:
κw is the derating factor to apply at mean wind speed of over 9.4 m/s
pr is the reduced pressure
pmax is the max. working pressure under standard conditions
The graphic below shows the trend of κw as the wind speed (v) changes.
It is recommended to not operate the crane when the wind speed exceeds 18.9 m/s (68 km/h,
8 Beaufort).
