Introduction
- The builder thanks for the trust and reminds you that your crane is the result of a continuoussearch
to improve the product. It is an effort that our Technicians pursue continually thanks to aconstant
updating in the lifting sector.
- Reading and understanding this publication is an absolute must for the operator that is going to
use the crane.
- The illustrations in the manual are by way of example and not specific only to the crane model
described.
- The specific illustrations of the crane described in this manual are mentioned in section D -
“Description and technical data” (load charts) and in section E - “A ttached documentation”
the technical drawings and the schemes can be found the
- Our After-sale Service is at your disposal to help you to solve any unclear situations you could
findin this publication.
Attention
T he present publication has to be kept near the machine perfectly preserved, in order
to be examined by everyone in every moment. T his only if the person who requires it is
in a certain way connected to the machine or is a public agent employed in the safety
respect in working areas (example: AUSL , IS PSL , etc. ).
Whom the manual is addressed to

The manual includes the instructions that the builder thinks you need to know in order to use the
crane and keep its efficiency at best.
The manual gives you information about the following contents.
1. Safety norms, in order to avoid any risk for the operator and people exposed.
2. Building aspects, technical data, description and explanation about controls.
3. Working and use in action.
4. Times and description of the ordinary maintenance operations to be done by the operator and
extraordinary maintenance times of intervention.
5. Warranty and filling test registers and coupons.
6. Selling out materials composing the crane.
Note
T he present manual relates the instructions concerning a crane mounted on vehicles, on
the contrary the instructions regarding assemblages on ships or fixed structurescould
need further information that you find in other enclosures.
The manual aims to educate and inform all employees who work in contact with the crane and
intends to protect those who use the crane as well as those who are nearby.
The manual does not teach personnel who have experience using the crane, however, it does focus
on the attention required whilst working, the need to apply the safety standards, the importance of
not underestimating the potential hazards when using the crane, the time required to carry out the
work and the importance of implementing accurate assessments and forecasts.
Statistics show that accidents mainly derive from non-compliance with the above-mentioned points,
i.e. the accident is almost always caused by human error. In other words, operating a crane
safely depends on the competent personnel assigned to implement the work.
Each operator must know all necessary information to work correctly.
G eneral information
The following table reports the section of reference, considering the operator’s qualifications (each
operator could be employed in different functions; for example: the driver, the operator employed in
moving and the operator employed in selling out could be the same person):

Warnings for the use

Safety is a primary social and economic asset: besides the obvious human cost of accidents,
increasing operational safety leads to actual commercial and also productive benefits, since the
operator’s work is not necessarily hindered.
The operator is set in safety conditions thanks to the training received and experience and can
prevent potential difficulties and problems pertaining to the work being carried out as s/he can
foresee the risks or hazards that could cause an accident.
Accidents are expensive in terms of money, idle time, public administration investigations and surveys,
increase in insurance premiums, court cases due to criminal liability, civil liability and damages.
Operator’s position
The operator position in relation to the machine position must grant the safety conditions inside the
area.
Check always out the controls access and the visibility on the encumbrance areas in particular the
placing, working and closing operations.
Danger
It is forbidden to move the load letting it transit over the operator or over people in the
working area.
04271234
Crane has specific controls whose position is perfect for the operator’s job, following the ergonomic
standard of a medium size person.
It is compulsory having a sufficient space around the controls to work freely and going away in case
of danger.
The operator must have the total control and visibility of the crane and of the working area to grant
the greatest safety for the load and the spaces underneath.
04271236
1m
Attention
If working and load conditions do not permit to have sufficient visibility, it is necessary
to be assisted by a person signalling (see section “Working signals”). In this situation
one should operate with max. caution and in full respect of current industrial-accident
legislation.
Danger
It is forbidden to operate the crane by using at the same time controls located in
different positions (for instance the radio remote control levers and the control valve
levers simultaneous).
In case of sudden movements cause by simultaneous use of the controls in the different stations
recreate the exclusive control of the crane by possibly pushing the safety push button.
04271237
Placing and working
Attention
T he correct and safe use require to check, before operating, the max. outspread of the
stabilizing beams and the correct clamping of mechanical safety locks.
In case of anomalies contact the authorise A ssistance.
Check the backing surface.

Ground and settling structures must be flat, compact, resistant and not yielding (best are concrete,
asphalt and compressed ground), related to the strength transmitted by the stabilizing cylinder
during load lifting.
It is important to take precautions to ensure the ground or base on which the machine will be
used is compact and stable, is of adequate bearing capacity and there is appropriate friction.
T herefore, planks may have to be laid to distribute the load, or plates (material is not supplied),
or the stabilising base must be widened, etc.
T he bottom line is to ensure that the stabilisers do not sink into the ground and do not move.
In some cases (slippery or icy surfaces, etc.), adequate solutions must be found, for instance the
wheels can be blocked with wood, stop wedges, etc.
Once the crane is stabilised, the ground may be subject to poor conditions, such as settling of the
terrain, which depends on the inclination of the machine, hence, its stability.
The following are typical conditions of the ground that requires particular attention:
• U ncompacted filling material:
earth or other filling material can be piled along a trench that is filled but not compacted.
Cracks in the terrain along the trench are an indication of uncompacted filling material.
• U nderground and basement areas:

generally they cannot withstand the weight of the machine, with and without a load, therefore, the
ground may give way suddenly.
• U nderground services:
sewers, manholes, drains, wells, gas and water pipelines, etc. can be damaged by the weight of
the platform or may not withstand the load, sink and cause the machine to tilt over.
• Extremely slippery and smooth surfaces:
very low friction between the stabilisers and the ground (for instance friction between steel and
marble with frost) can cause the machine to slide, especially if inclined, even after having stabili-
sed the machine and this leads to serious consequences.
• Weather conditions:
heavy or incessant rainfall can alter the conditions of the ground and cause subsidence; if you
see or suspect that the ground has become too soft you must evaluate the action to be taken
so as to ensure the machine is kept level and assess the bearing capacity of the support beds,
widen the stabilising base, etc. However, do not go near the area in question.
Thereafter, monitor the change in the conditions of the ground regularly.
Attention
Frozen terrain may seem more stable than it actually is, as this may melt during the day
and alter the bearing capacity conditions.
Do not set the stabilisers in place on edges of embankments, slopes, uneven ground, etc. Where
possible, the stabilisers must only be set on ground that is flat or made level.
Should the stabilisers be set on edges of em-
bankments, slopes, uneven ground, etc. the fol-
lowing requirements must be met:
- uncompacted ground: D = 2a D
- compacted ground: D = a
Check that every stabiliser and the relative supporting material makes complete contact with the
ground before starting the works and thereafter, implement regular inspections.
If in doubt about the conditions of the ground, refer to the site manager.
The going down of the supporting cylinders must not compromise the stability of the exercise. Forthis
reason both the placing and the levelling must be realised with the crane closed, checking out that
the machine keeps being in plane (±1°) through the level bubbles in each of the control station. This
when the levelling is automatic (self-levelling), but also when it is manual.
Before removing the crane from its idle position, ensure that the machine has been stabilised and
levelled properly, within the design limits stipulated by the manufacturer (e.g. 1st) and that it is
positioned on a surface that is stable and adequate for the maximum force exerted on the ground
by the stabilisers (shown on the relative plate affixed on them).
04271270 04271088
The lifting of the vehicle must keep the wheels of the vehicle adherent to the ground and however it
must unload the leaf spring from the load of the crane.
If the truck has got pneumatic suspensions, it is necessary to unload the rubber bellows, in order to
avoid the effect spring on them during the lifting phase of the load.
04271271
Danger
- Engage the vehicle’s handbrake, otherwise the vehicle can move during the lifting
operations.
T he brake system is only effective if the wheels it blocks touch the ground with
adequate friction (usually the rear wheels). T his is essential on sloping ground.
- Block the central wheels with suitable wedges or chocks for safety purposes.
- N ever use the stabilisers to keep the vehicle stopped, even in this instance the vehicle
can move and the stabilisers will be damaged.
The approaching of loads must be at a moderate speed and paying attention, so that any collision
with the crane or with the jib and also any possible lateral swinging of the booms are avoided.
04271198
B01_00_00 Safety Sect. B - En - 10
Danger
When the vehicle is bended more than 1, 5° during the lifting operation and the boom
is in an almost vertical position, the driving function of the hexagonal profile of the
extensions is reduced and we have an augmentation of the danger because of the
lateral swinging of the boom.
>1,5° >1,5°
>1,5° >1,5°
04271429
Should you notice the arms to move gradually to the side while the load is lifted vertically upwards,
you must:
- Bring the load back to the ground.
- Modify the longitudinal or transverse slope of the stabilizing set up (by lifting or lowering the
stabilizers).
In case you need to rotate during normal operation, you have to keep the rotation between the
stabilizer legs closer to the load.
06102001
Working with the crane with booms bended over 70°, the vehicle must be completely levelled.
Thelevel bubble must be included within the internal hoop.
>70° >70°
04271428 04271088
Danger
When the vehicle is at the max. allowed slope (5° lengthwise and 3° crosswise) the
boom shall not exceed 70° angle.
In this condition the guiding function of the exagonal profile of the telescopic booms is
reduced and the dangerousness of boom side swinging improves

Moving, circulation and parking

In order to avoid any compromising for the
safety during the moving or the circulation of the
machine, close always the booms and fasten
the devices and the accessories.
In particular, check out the position of the ordinary
and supplementary stabilizers (if required) when
not working, and then the already done lifting of
the stabilizing cylinders.
Attention
Circulation or movement of the
machine must go after the following
operations:
- locking all the pins with the right
shear pins;
- checking out the correct fastening
08068007
and the state of wear;
- fastening the lifting boom with the
right mechanical lock (if foreseen);
- insert mechanical locks of the
stabilisers, including the additional
ones, if applicable.
Check the correct positioning.
Danger
During the displacement and the circulation, insert always the safety locks in all the
parts, which needs them (mobile elements, accessories or devices).
08068009
If necessary, restore the efficiency of the pins, shear pins and blocks, calling directly and exclusively
the closer Authorised Shop Assistance.
Ways of displacement and/or circulation must be completed with the technical data of the installator
and of the builder of the auto-vehicle.
However respect the issued norms.
Note
Before driving cranes equipped with crosspieces or manual widening on the road,
verify that the indicator inside the cabin signals that they are closed properly (a lit
green light).
If the red light is lit and the buzzer is active, get off the vehicle and verify that the
crosspieces are positioned correctly and check the integrity of the signalling system.
Lifting devices and accessories can be anchored to the crane during the displacement or the
circulation of the vehicle, only if you respect the laws concerning maximum dimensions and masses
allowed. However be always sure that they are rightly locked/fastened.
Note
Before moving the vehicle and driving it on the road, always verify that the indicator
inside the cabin is lit green.
S hould this be red and the buzzer active, get off the vehicle and verify that the
configuration of the crane’s height falls within the permitted limits.
Only for extraordinary cases listed in the manual the vehicle body can support the booms of the
crane.
MAX
MAX
04271274
In this case it is necessary to check out that:

1 - the longitudinal axis of the booms is centred in relation to the axis vehicle;
2 - the position of the booms and their encumbrance do not come over the maximum dimensions
allowed by the issued norms;
3 - all the movements of the crane components and accessories are blocked with right fastenings
on the plate or on the body of the truck.
Attention
For every configuration of the whole crane/vehicle and accessories (jibs, transmissions,
pulleys, winch etc. ), it is necessary to check out the respect of the safety parameters
imposed by the issued norm.
When you work within productive areas (erecting yards and industrial areas) pay attention where
the machine is placed.
It would be better if you used working areas with these characteristics:
- it must be a place sufficiently wide to

contain the whole structure, so that you
can prevent any possible dangerous
situation during the movement of the
boom of the crane;
- you must not interfere with the working

area of other working devices (other
cranes, platforms, transporters etc.)
exception made for devices not
working during the period in which
you use the crane.
04271250
If you have not previous indications and authorisations, the placement of the machine must not
interfere with:
- safety doors, pedestrian crossing and

transit ways;
04271251
- exits ways in case of danger, doors

and private entrances, driveways;
04271252
- the visibility of signals (road-signals,

warning sign, signal lights etc…).
04271253
Delimitation of the working area
Before working with the crane check out the conditions of the environment and visibility you have in
the operative area and then limit it with right signal systems.
- barriers;
- tapes delimitating the area;
- signals (of prohibition, of warning, of danger, etc…);
- signals delimitating the area (light signals, cones, etc…).
Note
If possible limiting the area wider than the horizontal extension of the crane.
04271230_protezioni 04271230_segnali
In order to identify the operative zone to be limited, it is necessary to consider the worst direction,
that is to say the zone with the greater danger, considering also that you could incur in whatever
problem everywhere.
04271254
Note
Wherever possible, bound an area bigger than the crane’s maximum outreach.
In the area you have to eliminate whatever dangerous object or toxic substance.
The delimitation must explicit the no admittance for people,animals,means and vehicles not
authorised.
When it is impossible to eliminate the transit risk inside the crane working area, it is necessary to
arrange some authorized personnel to survey the area limits and direct the traffic in the concerned
area.
04271255
Attention
S hould the operator be forced to work close to, or pass by residential and/or crowded
buildings, it would be advisable to evacuate people and protect possible worthy goods.
T ake the same precautions if you work close to artistic goods.
It would be better to contract a suitable assurance for possible damages caused during
work.
Room temperature
The crane can work correctly at an environmental temperature between -20°C e +45°C.
If you reported a different degree, working with the crane would be forbidden without the right
cautions.
04271256
Humidity
The electric equipment works correctly at an atmospheric conditions with a humidity less than 85%
at a max temperature of +45° C.
Higher humidity is allowed with inferior temperatures.
With a higher humidity and a temperature near 0° you would incur in a block of the mechanical
electric and safety systems.
Check out their correct working before using the crane.
Radiations
Some bothersome troubles (causing uncontrolled crane movements) might happen if the electrical
devices are exposed to magnetic fields and/or parts radiations (X ray, gamma rays, etc.)
This depends upon the release value and the distance of the crane.
It’s important to take information by the competent authorities and, in case of doubt, to operate at a
distance or with manual controls (not radio controls).
In some radio remote controls (not ionized electro-magnetic fields), when pushing the emergency
stop-button the electrical device is protected.
04271257
Visibility and light
Before placing the crane, check out the visibility norms, avoiding shadow cones, stroboscopic and
dazzling effects, darken environment (fog, smokes, etc. ).
Do not work if a reasonable safety and visibility is not granted in the working area and in particular
near the load and the controls.
If you have to work in barely lighted up areas, illuminate the area with lighting devices, connected to
energy source not in relation to the machine.
In this case do not point the supplementary lighting devices to the operator’s eyes, but place them at
the worker’s shoulders, so that you could illuminate rightly the working area without dazzling him.
04271258
Electric discharges
Windy conditions can cause the cables to swing beyond the distance allowed and reach the crane,
thereby causing electrical discharge.
The electric discharge is a danger for all the exposed people’s lives, so you have to keep the crane
its accessories and the load at the distances indicated in the table here reported.
When passing the boom or lowered extension near high voltage power lines, maintain the distances
shown in the table
Voltage Distance
Up to 1000 V 1,0 m 3.5 ft
from 1000 to 10000 V 3,0 m 10.5 ft
from 11000 to 22000 V 4,0 m 14 ft
from 22000 to 38000 V 5,0 m 17 ft
from 38000 to 50000 V 5,0 m 17 ft
from 50000 to 200000 V 5,0 m 17 ft
from 200000 to 350000 V 6,1 m 20 ft
from 350000 to 500000 V 7,62 m 25 ft
from 500000 to 750000 V 10,67 m 35 ft
from 750000 to 1000000 V 13,72 m 45 ft
If you incurred in contacts between the crane (or load) and the electric lines, or the distance between
the crane (or the load) and the electric lines were reduced (because of wind, swinging, etc), causing
dangerous discharge, it would be necessary:
- keeping workers and animal in the area at a distance at least of 10 m from the crane, from the
truck or from the load;
- the workers within a beam of 10 m must go out skipping with the legs closed and united;
- avoiding any contact with the crane truck and/or load;
- warning the workers around of the impending danger, forbidding them to stay by or touch the
crane truck and load;
- if your position Is free from dangerous implications, do not try to go away, but keep staying in your
position waiting for specialised aid, do not touch any object or metallic part different from those
you are already in touch with;
- the workers on the plane or in the cabin of the vehicle must keep staying in that position, waiting
for a specialised aid.
Note
T he same warnings are valid in case of contact with electrodes, electric lines of trains,
tram, trolley bus, cableways, etc.
It is forbidden to work with the crane at a distance from the aerial and underground electric lines lower
than the minimum distance allowed by the norms issued in the Country in which you are working.
04271219
Note
Warnings are to be considered effective also for the electric lines of trains, tram, trolley
bus, cableway, etc…
Attention
In case of wind both electric cables and the crane could swing with jumps.
T his sudden approaching can change the safety distance in a dangerous way, exposing
the structure to possible electric discharge.
Keep always a sufficient distance of at least 5 m from the electric line (see also the table
at pg 18 “Warnings for the use - Electric discharges”).
In windy conditions it is necessary to pay attention to lifting loads with wide surfaces, which could
lead dangerous swinging, by offering resistance to the wind.
04271220
When moving the machine beneath or nearby overhead power lines, always use the help of a person
who is an expert in giving indications from the ground.
Do not raise any part of the machine whilst passing beneath overhead power lines or between two
poles that indicate the maximum height.
Working on public roads

- When working in an area where vehicles and pedestrians pass from, for your own and others’ safety
you must ensure that the entire work area is closed off with cones, warning panels, indication,
flashing yellow lights, etc.
Refer to the work supervisor.
- Under no circumstances must parts of a crane be extended or rotated above the road.
- It is illegal for anyone but specifically authorised personnel to direct the traffic on public roads.
A request must be presented to the local police.
- When works must be implemented during the night, in an area accessed by the public, barriers
together with indication, flashing yellow lights must be set up.

Forbidden use
Environment
It is forbidden to operate in open areas in very windy conditions with an intensity close to 50 km/h
(approx. 12.5 m/s is equal to 6 on the Beaufort scale) and in gusts of wind.
04271215
Refer to the following table to value the effects of the wind:

Without an anemometer it is possible to recognise the condition of a strong wind when: strong
branches are moving, the wind is whistling between the electric lines and it is dificult to keep the
umbrella opened.
Forbidden use
It is very important to be aware that the speed of wind increases with height off the ground and can
increase by 50% at 20 metres off the ground. Furthermore, there lies a cooling factor caused by
the wind and the height, i.e. the speed of the wind increases together with the height, however the
temperature drops.
You must pay attention when lifting sheets/plates of material that have a large surface used to coat
buildings, panels and other material that can act as a “sail”: even the minimum force exerted by the
wind on a large surface becomes significant and can seriously jeopardise the stability of a crane,
especially in conditions of gusts of wind.
It is forbidden to operate in open place during a storm.
04271214
Forbidden use
It is forbidden to use the crane in closed

environments or when exhaust fumes
are released directly on people standing
on the working area, if the exhaust pipe
has not been routed far away from the
operator or the exposed people.
04271217
It is forbidden to use the crane without the right acoustic protection in a place whose sound intensity
is higher than the law indicates.
04271218
Residual risks and dangers

Here following we underline those behaviours that the designing and building of the crane cannot
avoid, but that are not allowed to the operator for their high degree of risk.
During the use
T he risk of falling down from the high

controls, if you do not pay attention or you do
not use the right supports during the entering
or descending, or if you do not close all safety
devices (side protection, protection gates,
chains, etc. ) in the higher control panel.
04271221
Crash risk of the load to: the structure of

the crane itself, any equipment or elements
located on the working area in case the
movement of the load is careless, imprecise
and thoughtless.
There lies the risk of the crane tipping over
or the load dropping suddenly, if the collision
jeopardises the structure of the machine.
04271203
Risk of falling down of the load, if the load is not rightly fastened, with a consequent danger of
crushing for the operator and the exposed people.
04271222
Danger of crushing and crashes during the

placement of the stabilizers.
04271223
Danger of entrapment and dragging caused

by the use of not right clothes.
04271202
Risk of upsetting for the cranes without limiting device, if you do not respect the load limits
reported in the working diagrams applied on the crane.
04271224
Risk of crash with fixed structures and

mobile objects when you move the loads, if
you do not consider the working space you
need before moving.
04271196
Risk of crash with consequent dangers of

crushing and falling down for people and/or
for workers in the operating area.
04271225
Risk of crash with damage to the structure

of the crane or of the jib, if you approach to
the moving loads without paying attention and
with a moderate speed.
04271198
Risk of damage to the structure of the crane or of the jib, if you move loads near to the max limits
at a high speed and extension.
04271197
Risk of breaking the structure of the crane or

of the jib, if you move the load imprudently and
it begins to swing laterally.
04271199
Risk of upsetting the vehicle with the crane

because of the settling of the ground under
the stabilizing cylinders.
04271200
Risk of upsetting in case you move loads

with unknown mass on higher structure, whose
equilibrium falls suddenly on the structure of
the machine.
04271201
Risk of slow and uncontrolled descent of

crane booms or jib in case of breakdown of
hydraulic system components.
In this case, get away immediately from the
area surrounding crane, load and vehicle.
04271207
Risk of damage to the structure of the crane

if you press down (to beat, to compact, etc…)
with the extensions or the accessories installed
(grapples, clamshell bucket, etc…).
Note
Cranes classified as H2-B3 can
compress the load: there is no risk
of damaging the structure and these
cranes are equipped with suitable
04271204
safety devices.
Risk for the personal safety if it is necessary

the presence of two operators in the working
area and the employed to the use begins to
move the crane before his co-worker is went
away from the dangerous area.
04271206
Risk for the personal safety when you

assemble/disassemble parts, accessories
or components and the workers are without
the necessary personal protections (safety-
helmet, gloves, shoes, etc…).
04271205
T here lies a risk of damaging the structure

of the crane and the bucket, if this is opened
and rests against any other surface and
it is closed without lifting it off the ground
simultaneously.
07024016.
T here lies a risk of damaging the structure

of the crane and the bucket if used to scrape
soil or sand.
Do not extend the boom or slew it until the
material to be lifted is clearly detached from
the ground.
07024017.
Risk of damaging the structure of the crane

and bucket if the boom extension cylinders
are utilised to exert downward pressure with
the bucket, e.g. to compress soil or sand.
07024018
Risk of damaging the structure of the crane

and bucket if, with the bucket snagged by
material, crane movements are utilised in the
attempt to free it.
In such cases empty part of the contents of
the bucket before performing any further
movements.
07024019
During the transport
Note
Copma declines all responsibility if the overall dimensions of the crane, when installed
on to the vehicle, exceed those prescribed by the applicable road code in the country
of sale.
Risk of crash with fixed structure (ex. bridges, over-bridges etc…) along the way, if you do not
place the crane after the use in the right position correctly closed.
04271208
Risk of crash with fixed or mobile structures

(ex. Parked or moving cars etc…) along the
way, if you do not place and stop the stabilizing
cross beams and the cylinders.
04271209
Risk of crash with fixed and mobile structure

along the way, if you do not insert the
safetylocksin all the mobile parts accessories
and devices that needs to be locked.
04271210
During parking/unwinding
Risk of damage to the operator or to
exposed people during the unwinding of the
crane in the closed position, if you are not by
the controlling place and/or if you not have a
sufficient visibility.
04271211
Risk of vandalic operation in case of

temporary absence, if you do not close with
keys or locks all the doors.
04271212
Risk of damages for the objects placed

under the crane, because of parking or
long stopping with the extensions lifted and
opened (fairs, expositions), in case the booms
go down slowly but continuously because of
normal leakages.
04271213
During maintenance
replacement of parts or elements of the crane
Risk of falling down for the booms of the
with non-original spare parts;
crane with a consequent danger of crushing
in case of: forbidden operations to the builder;
interventions by shops non-authorised by the
builder.
Risk of emission of fluid in pressure (oil)
if you realise wrong and/or not authorised
maintenance operations on the hydraulic
system.
General risks for the operators and exposed people

If people do not stay and/or transit at a safety distance, they can incur:
Danger of amputating
Danger of running down
Danger of crushing
Danger of crushing
Danger of crash with consequent falling down
Note
T he loader crane is used for short periods of time, therefore, the effect of the vibrations
on the operator are insignificant.
Furthermore, by resting the stabilisers of the crane on to the ground, the only interac-
tion between the operator and the crane is via the controls.
In the case of a high workstation with a seat, the vibrations transmitted to the operator
will be less than or equal to those felt at the wheel of the vehicle.
Note
T he crane is declared to be compliant with the applicable directives.
T he crane’s noise emission does not exceed 65 db.
Check the noise levels of the vehicle on which the crane is installed.
Emplacements of control
Safe activation of the controls

Activate the control levers gradually and slowly especially during the rotation and descent phases,
avoiding sudden interventions and release.
04271233
Cranes equipped with a non-sensing load distributor only function properly and with no residual risks
if each lever is used one at a time.
Danger
If two movements are implemented simultaneously, one can interfere with the other,
thereby causing an unforeseen and hazardous increase in speed that the operator will
have difficulty controlling.
00762127
Note
T his can also occur on load sensing distributors if the oil flow required by the
simultaneous movements exceeds the flow supplied by the pump.
On the crane various emplacements of control can be distinguished.

Ground controls
04271239
The operator should choose the place that grants him the complete control of the load and the
working area of the crane.
High controls on platform
04271240
You can reach the emplacement in total security through a stairs or protected high planes.
Once you reached the position, the operator must close all the safety devices (side protection,
protection gates, chains, etc…) on the panel controls.
Danger
In order to avoid any falling down during the going in or out the emplacement, use the
supports and the right handles, paying the most attention.
High controls
04271241
The work station can be reached by a ladder.

The operator sits on a control station located on the crane.
Danger
In order to avoid any falling down during the going in or out the emplacement, use the
supports and the right handles, paying the most attention.
Go in and out in complete safety and with the column and the booms compulsorily closed.
04271242
Once you reached the position, the operator must close all the safety devices (side protection,
protection gates, chains, etc…) on the panel controls.
Danger
T he position of the operator is limited by a parapet and its relevant foot guard.
During operation it is strictly forbidden to lean out of those protections.
04271244
Tele/radio remote control
04271247
The control emplacement is unique and it is composed by a moving panel control.

The operator must sit in a position, which could grant him the complete control on the crane and
the working area, in order to grant safety and complete visibility of the load and of the places
underneath.
Attention
With the connection made, it is forbidden to leave unguarded or abandoned the tele/
radio remote control.
If it was necessary to put the panel control away, you had to:
- be sure that any keys are not inserted;
- place it in a protect place accessible only by the authorised people.
Note
U se always the supporting belt for the panel in order to realise precise and uniform
movements in complete safety.

Norms of behaviours
The builder suggest proceeding norms, accepting the main norms for safety:
Each worker must take care for his and others safety and wealth, considering his own formation
and the instructions given by the employer; practically taking care of those people on whom
the effects of actions or omissions could fall on during the working.
In order to realise such aims, the workers have to:
- use correctly the machines, devices, equipments, dangerous substances, transport equipments
and other vehicles;
- use correctly the individual protections and after using put them on their proper place back;
- do not put out of order, replace or change place to the safety devices arbitrarily, but use them
correctly;
- signal to the employer and/or to the employed in safety every situations that could be
reasonablyconsidered a real and immediate danger for safety and wealth; for the same reason
you have to signal also whatever defect found in protecting systems;
- cooperate with the employer and/or with the employed in safety for the protection of the safety and
wealth of the workers during the working, respecting the national norms and the duties imposed
by the competent authority;
- cooperate with the employer and/or with the employed in safety for the realisation of environmental
and working conditions without any risk of danger, in order to grant to workers safety and wealth
in the working area, respecting the national norms.
Furthermore, the employer has to:

- check out that workers and their agents know the laws and safety norms;
- check out that the workers and their agents respect the laws and safety norms;
- give all the necessary information for the respect of the operator’s safety and wealth;
- respect the issued safety and wealth norms.
Personal protections (DPI)
Personal protections (IPD)
Employed in the use of the crane
Hel met Use the protecting helmet to avoid dangers caused by

hanged loads during the movement of materials.
G l oves Use of protecting gloves to avoid cuts, perforations, picks

or burnings during the load placing.
You have not strictly forced to use gloves when it is necessary
to increase the sensitivity in using levers or manipulators.
Shoe s Use safety shoes to prevent general risks deriving from

materials falling from above while handling loads.
CL OT HES Use protecting clothes to avoid to get entangled with lifted

and transported parts.
Acousti c Protect the hearing in case you use the crane in an area
prot ecti on with an acoustic intensity higher than the values indicated
by the law.
Employed in the ordinary maintenance
CL OT HES Use of suitable protective clothes to avoid catches with

mechanical parts of the machine or of the autovehicle
G l oves Use of protecting gloves to avoid cuts, perforations or picks

caused by mechanical parts non-correctly trimmed.
Shoe s Use safety shoes to avoid risks caused by the falling

down of materials or devices used during the ordinary
maintenance.
Eyeglass es Debt of protecting eyes with glasses or protective screens
in case of interposition near parts of the oleo dynamic circuit
in steam.
Driver of the vehicle
Note
T he driver of the vehicle during transport doesn’t need IPD.
In fact, it is underlined that while driving the vehicle equipment such as helmet,accident
prevention shoes and glasses (or protective screen) must be put out for not troubling
movements while driving.
Manual lifting of material in equipment
Manual lifting of material in equipment
Task
In the lifting operations man engages highly the muscles of the arms, trunk and the bones structure,
in particular the backbone.
The backbone supports lifted loads by using the disks that are crushed between the vertebrae.
Danger
It is necessary that the backbone is in an erected position, to avoid damages, the
classical backache and in serious cases the break of the disk with also consequences
such as invalidity.
The right technique to lift loads from the round has to be done in three phases:
- squatting well balanced keeping the legs a little divaricated;
- taking for the lifting operation;
- erecting the trunk.
Let the legs muscles work and keep the load near the body.
04271231
Execution
A manual transport of loads must be realised after having considered:
- the weight compared to the forces;
- the way you have to do;
- the distance that must be brief.
50
kg 30
kg
Note
U se the right lifting ways to move charges having a mass more than 30 kg.
The areas to be crossed must be:
- without obstacles;
- without materials and slipping surfaces.
Note
U se rollers, palanquins or carriages to move barrels, cases or materials with a weight
higher than your forces.
Working signals
Working signals
In case the crane operator is not able to see the load to be moved and/or the operative area from his
station, it is necessary to speak with another operator at a certain distance.
For this reason we suggest you to choose the unequivocal system of visual signals here following
reported.
Attention
In case the operator cannot easily understand the signals, the crane must not be activated.
Note
T he operator and the signaller can agree on a different system of communication, before
starting the load operations.

Rotation range limit
Note
The crane is designed for a rotating movement range of 395°.
Attention
According to the type of the vehicle or the chassis mass, it is recommended to calcu-
late the stability (calculation performed by the manufacturer or the installer) in order
to establish whether the crane can operate in the area in front of the driver’s cabin or
if it necessary to reduce the rotation range to 180°(i.e. the working area near the
body).
In order to reduce the rotation range, the manufacturer provides a suitable ‘end of stroke’ kit (op-
tional) which can be installed into the rotation cylinders to prevent rotation in the area in front of the
cabin.
Attention
The installation of the end of stroke kit can be performed by the manufacturer (if inclu-
ded in the order) or by any authorised installer.

General precautions
Before using the crane it is mandatory to have red and understood the previous chapters and in
particular section “B - S afety”.
If you had some more doubts, you could ask more information to the Builder’s technicians.
Inspections and examinations before starting

The service checks and daily inspections must be carried out by the operator before and after using
the crane, by following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
For a correct use and observance of the safety parameters, every operation must precede the
following inspections:
- Correct closing of the tie rods crane-frame-subframe.
- Free sliding of the control levers.
- Correct connection of the quick coupling and of the electric connections.
- Inspection for possible oil leakage from hoses, connections and valves.
- Integrity for valves and hoses.
- Pipes functioning.
- Inspection of the carpentry and relief of possible fissures and cracks, paying particular attention
to the welded area (discontinuities and cracks in paint that could prelude damages to the
structure).
- Monitoring the mobile integrity and functionality of the lifting hook (see below).
- Efficiency of the lifting accessories.
- Integrity and readability of diagrams, symbols and warnings on the machine.
- safety devices functioning.
- Functionality of the moment limiting device: move the main cylinder up to the end of stroke until it
is blocked.
- Hooks and stabiliser plates must be thoroughly cleaned and all grease or dirt must be removed.
- Lights and horn (if present) must function properly.
- The level of fuel, water and oil must be suitable and the batteries must be fully charged.
- Verifying that all controls and devices work properly: all motorised movements, extension, upward,
downward, rotation, etc. must work properly; all positions reached must be maintained (efficient
block valves on the boom and on the stabilisers).
- Sound the horn to warn other nearby operators that the crane is about to be used.
Attention
A fter a break or a brief going away from the machine, be sure that the devices set up
before have not been modified or that the machine does not present any vandalism or
violation.
Information for use
Precautions during use

- The operator should be in a position from which he can control the load way and the area
presenting the movements.
- It is forbidden to move the booms of the crane and/or the load on the operator and/or people in
the work area.
- It is strictly forbidden to lean to the parts in movement.
- Do not use the crane for aims different from those foreseen by the builder.
- Check always and previously that the working crane and each of its parts do not produce
dangerous situations for people, things and animals.
- Get individual protecting systems foreseen by the issued norms preventing accidents.
- If it was necessary to control the emergency, restore the productive system only after having
removed the dangerous conditions.
- If maintenance is required, such as replacing clogged filters or optical indicators, or components
must be greased, the operator can keep on working until the end of the shift.
- If maintenance is required, such as replacing pipes or seized pins, or there are cracks in the
structure or safety devices are broken, it is strictly forbidden to continue working.
Immediately see to the maintenance required.
Checks and verification
Hooks
Use serial or optional hooks supplied by the crane builder.
In case you use different hooks from those supplied by the builder, check out:
- the respect of the prescribed norms;
- the load they should support or lift that must be sustained by its capacities;
- their good conditions.
The hooks must have the closing device or limitation at the entrance, in order to avoid the ropes,
chains or other to come unhooked.
The hook supplied is a hook with an eye-bolt and spacer.

The angle between the tie-rods of the slings should not exceed
120°.
10C079015
The “lifting accessories” are defined as components or equipment that are not connected to the
machines and are placed between the machine and the load or on the load for gripping purposes,
such as ropes, chains, etc.
Such accessories must bear the CE marking (a special label that defines the manufacturer, technical
data, capacity, etc.) and must have a suitable break point coefficient:
• Steel wire tie-rods: safety coefficient 5.
• Chains and chain tie-rods: safety coefficient 4.
• Straps, rings and tie-rods made of polyester: safety coefficient 7.
• Accessories such as hooks, retaining rings, wire terminals: safety coefficient 5.
Remember the following guidelines during use:

1) Before use, inspect the tie-rods to verify that there are no defects.
2) Use only tie-rods that are complete with the label that bears the working capacity.
3) Bear in mind how the load moves when the lifting positions change.
4) Protect the tie-rods from cuts and abrasions by using the necessary guards.
5) Never tie knots or twist the tie-rods during use.
6) Never use the tie-rods at a temperature that exceeds 100°.
Information for use
Equipment used to lift the load

Follow the tips below when using wire and chain tie-rods for the lifting operations:
• Never use slings with loads that exceed their maximum capacity (indicated on the label).
• When using slings with a number of arms, bear in mind that the capacity varies when the vertex

Variation in capacity
To know the actual capacity of a tie-rod being used with a particular vertex angle, divide the vertical
capacity by coefficient “C” in the diagram (increase load factor); it is recommended not to use tie-
rods with a difference at the vertex that exceeds 120°; the capacity varies significantly when this limit
is exceeded, even with small variations in the angle; at 120°, the vertical capacity is already halved
(it is divided by coefficient 2).
For example:
to know the capacity of a sling with 2 booms and a vertical capacity of 10000 kg, at a vertex angle
of 70° (the angle can be found on the table, knowing the ratio of the length to each L arm and the
distance from the A couplings).
Dividing the vertical capacity (10000 kg) by the coefficient in the diagram, that which corresponds
to the vertex angle 70° (C=1,221) will result in the capacity of the sling used at a vertex angle of 70°
being reduced from 10000 kg to 8190 kg.

Remember the following when using chains:

- Keep a log of all the slings being used.
- Do not lift with a twisted chain.
- The chain must be shortened with the relative grab hook - Knots are not permitted.
- Protect the chain from sharp edges with appropriate padding.
- Never load the tip of the hook - The load must always rest inside the saddle of the hook.
- Always use a sling with appropriate dimensions, bearing the angle in mind and any asymmetry of
the load.
- The ring must always be free to move inside the hook.
- Avoid tears.
Information for use
- Implement inspections and maintenance every three months, whilst remembering the following:
1) Chain slings with deformed links hooks, cracks or notches in the material, etc. must be
replaced.
2) The wear of the chain or the components must never exceed 10% of the original dimensions;
the wear of the chain handle - max 10% - is defined as the reduction in the average diameter
of the material, measured in two directions.
3) Overloaded chain slings must be removed and replaced.
Information for use
Evaluation of the loads and distances

The optimal use of the crane is when the operating pressure is not at a maximum and the limiting
devices are not triggered - conditions that can be achieved by being careful to work with a minimum
of straddles and lever booms of the elevated cylinders.
U sing the crane close to the load

Possibly lift the load with the extension boom
retracted but not completely, for the crane to
achieve maximum efficiency; move the vehicle
as close as possible to the load.
10C079018
L oads at maximum straddle

Slightly incline the secondary boom downwards.
Perform the lifting process with the main boom.
10C079019
Heavy loads
Lift heavy loads with the main boom in its optimal
position with respect to the column - this position
is indicated on the plate of the supports; very
heavy loads cannot be lifted with a straight,
completely horizontal boom (minimum lever
boom of the cylinders).
Slightly incline the secondary boom with respect
10C079020
to the main boom.
Working beneath street level

If you must un/load beneath street level:
keep the main boom 10/30° above the horizontal
line.
10C079021
Information for use
Preparing the loads, moving the loads and monitoring any

oscillation
Check the safety device of the crane’s hook (flap, lock, etc.)
before every handling operation:
- verify if the (unhooking) safety device works properly;
- ensure that the slings are not too bulky inside the hook.
10C079022
Check the slings:

- they must not be damaged (no cracks, cuts, crushing,
knots, etc.);
- the slings must then be adjusted for the material that is
to be transported, i.e. you must assess and apply the
experience gained to select the most suitable slings for
the load.
10C079023
Checking the material that is to be transported:

- ensure that the material to be lifted cannot destabilise the
load when it moves, thereby losing material.
10C079024
Selecting the slinging point:

- the material must be transported in a balanced position;
- the centre of gravity must be found and taken into
account.
10C079025
Information for use
Fastening the slings:

- apply the chains, belts or ropes around the material to be
transported for it to be impossible for the load to move
during the lifting and transporting process.
10C079026
The working position of the operator applying the slings

must be secure:
- it must be so for her/him to avoid the load if this moves
suddenly;
- s/he must have eye contact with the crane operator;
- s/he must not be exposed to risks of falling or being
crushed.
10C079027
The load is lifted slowly once the slings are applied:

- gesture to crane operator to slowly lift the load off the
ground;
- monitor the lifting process from a close distance without
being exposed to risks.
10C079028
It is important to check the suspended load:

- once the load is lifted slightly off the ground, check that it
is balanced and the harnessed points are stable;
- then gesture to lift the load further.
10C079029
Information for use
Pay attention to the possible hazard of the load losing its

balance and/or being excessively inclined:
- once the load is lifted off the ground, check that it is
balanced and the harnessed points are stable;
- then gesture to lift the load further;
- if the load moves, turns over or the harnessed points
move, immediately gesture for the crane operator to
stop;
- never correct the position of the load with your hands.
10C079030
In the final phase:

- leave the work area of the crane;
- never stop beneath the suspended load.
10C079031
Handling the load with more than one piece of equipment

These are complex procedures that are to be implemented under the responsibility of the director of
operations and after having adopted a safety operational plan.
The capacity of the straps varies according to the colour and configuration used for the lifting process.

Precautions to be respected on the installation

For a good functioning of the crane it would
be better if the oil had a viscosity included
between 100 and 12 cS t (suggested the
interval 70÷20 cS t) during working.
As a consequence the oil type A gip OS O 46
should work with a temperature included between
25 and 75 °C (suggested the interval 30÷60 °C).
The limit of cool starting is 1000 cS t (-5° with
OS O 46) and however never activate the crane
with an oil temperature less than a -20°C.
Attention
A n oil temperature lower than the minimum operating temperature, which corresponds
to a viscosity higher than 250 cS t (10°C with VG 46 oil), creates conditions for some
components and devices to malfunction (radio control not active, pump cavitation at
high revs, lower performance of the HPV device, etc.).
The limit of oil overheating corresponds to a viscosity limit of 10 cS t (80 °C with oil OS O 46).
Never go over a temperature of 80 °C.
Attention
If the temperature is going to go over the 80°C, it is necessary to contact the A uthorised
S hops. T his solution becomes essential when verifying the installation and/or suitability
of the heat exchanger in the following instances:
- Environment with high temperatures.
- Continuous production with few, short breaks, especially when the configuration
contains a hydraulic joint and more than 3 extension booms.
It is important to choose the right oil in relation tothe ambient temperature and to the kind of work.
It is recommended to use AGI P type of oil or refer to the comparative table (refer to the Maintenance
Manual, chapter “Oil and lubricant specifications”).
For ambient temperature inferior or equal to a 0°C, it is necessary to bring at least the oil to the
minimum temperature for a correct functioning (250 cS t at 10°C with oil A gip OS O 46).
Oil preheating mode is described on section “Cool starting” described on the following pages.
General precautions
Attention
When the oil temperature is less than the minimum work temperature, it is possible to
find some function anomalies even in some devices.
Attention
If the oil temperature tends to exceed 80°C, contact the A uthorised Workshops.
Attention
T o limit the reach of jack’s end-of-stroke. T his steering,repeated many times, heats the
oil and can activate dangerous situations and controls malfunctioning.
Information for use
Attention
During operation, the temperature of the hydraulic system must fall between -20°C and
+80°C.
Information for use

movements are slower at such temperatures.
Crane blockage
The movement limiting device is designed to protect the crane from manoeuvres that will result in
loads in excess of the maximum permissible limits.
When the relative limit is exceeded the crane will enter emergency blocked status.
Recovery from a blockage condition depends on the type of device that has tripped.
Hydraulic moment limiter

To recover from the blockage the boom sections must be retracted, irrespective of the specific
manoeuvre that caused the blockage.
If the blockage occurs when the boom sections are fully retracted, alternate the sections retraction

information for use
Stabilizer cylinder hydraulic movement
Retraction
Attention
the phase of retraction stabilisation has always to be done with the crane closed for
the transport.
1 Release the stabilized cylinder by turning the lock valve;

2 Withdraw pin (A)
3 Use the spring lever to retract the outrigger foot cylinder partially until pin (A) locates in hole
(A1) of the guide.
4 Release the cross beam, revolving the outrigger lock;
5 Partially retract the cross beam manually;
6 Withdraw pin (B) from (B1) to release the cylinder.
7 Extend the outrigger foot in order to cause the cylinder to retract.
8 Fit pin (B) into the location on the cross beam.
10 Control the complete retraction of the stabilising cylinder;
Danger
If the stabilizer cross beam lock is composed of a pin, once the stabilizer
cylinder is fully retracted DO NOT con-tinue to activate the retraction control.
Prolonged activation of the control in these conditions can damage the sta-bilizer
beam lock.
11 Lock the stabilized cylinder by turning the lock valve;
12 Completely retract the cross beam manually.
Be sure that the out-rigger lock stops the stabilizers cross beams.
Attention
Visually check the return of the stabiliser jack feet and those of the crosspieces.
Information for use
Stop
- Deactivate the radio remote control (if on);
- deactivate the electric functions of the crane;
- take the chock holder from the driving wheels away;
- disconnect the power inlet;
- stop the motor of the vehicle (or auxiliary motor).
Precautions after the use

- Set the equipment used for lifting again (ropes, bands, etc.).
- Fasten the equipment or the free accessories to avoid any shaking or falling from the truck body
during the transport.
- Take the placards and signals used to limit the area.
- Clean and rearrange the area in which you worked, to restore the situation as closer as possible
to the previous condition, before working.
Attention
In case the work had modified or reduced the safety, it would be better to signal it to the
safety responsible of the erecting yard or to the area owner, or personally marking the
danger with right signals.
- Take the keys from the closings away and from the devices, which foresees the use of them
andplace them inside the cabin.
- Recharge the battery of the radio control (if present).
Information for use
Production pause
In the case the general conditions of the machine must be:
- Vehicle with deactivated motor.
- Deactivated power system.
- Load leaned on the ground.
- Boom of the crane leaned on the plane.
- Extended stabilizers.
- Extended stabilizer cylinders and leaned on the ground.
- The gates and the boards of the crane and the vehicle, provided with lock with padlock or key are
blocked.
- The area in which we find the machine is limited and signalled.
- The operator can now temporarily leave the machine unmanned.
Note
If the operator remains in the area, it is not essential to lock doors and panels equipped
with locks.
Attention
T he accessories (full extension, winch, bucket, etc.) do not have to be removed when
the work has been completed or the crane is not to be used, provided that the crane is
not left in a hazardous configuration.

G eneral description
General description
This crane operates in the field of the lifting of free loads, not bound (trees, poles etc.)
This model exists in several versions, that distinguish themselves by the number of hydraulic exten-
sions in the secondary boom
This machine is sized in accordance with standard DIN 15018 in class H1-B3 and H2-B3.
Class H1: Ifting with hook.
Class H2: lifting with a bucket.
U nit B3: when cranes are classified in this category, they can reach 200000 cycles (*) if the load va-
ries between the maximum and 2/3, whilst operating with progressive manoeuvres.
U nit B2: when cranes are classified in this category, they can reach 200000 cycles (*) if the load va-
ries between the maximum and 1/3, whilst operating with progressive manoeuvres.
‘Cycle’ refers to the lifting and lowering process of a load.
(*)
For complete information, detailed descriptions and classification of the machine, carefully read
the User Manual together with the data passed on by the authorised installer (refer also to chapter
“L oad diagrams”).
Identification of the crane

Estimated crane’s service life
Estimated crane’s service life

Crane’s predicted service life is 200,000 working cycles.
Where a working cycle is intended to be a complete cycle involving load lifting and deposition in a
3 minute period (average).
Based on this assumption, we can figure out the estimated average lifespan depending on crane’s
operations.

Once the estimated lifespan has elapsed, the crane shall undergo a special overhaul in order to
assess its condition and if it is possible to further extend (and how much) its service life.
(*) Even if crane’s operation is not considered strenuous, service life in factory limited to 10 years.
Work sectors
Work sectors
The performances are conditioned by the kind of installation and by the work angle of the crane.
When the crane is installed behind the cab, the work sector can be as follows:
1 - 360° with rated lifting capacity
2 - 180° with lifting capacity decrease in the front 180° sector
3 - 180° rear, with front rotation lock.
With crane mounted rear overhang, working area is 360° with nominal capacity (pic. 4).
Attention
T he builder supplies cranes whose performances are standard.
When you test the installation, the performances are to be checked, to be confirmed or
underclassed them.

If you wanted to lift the maximum loads indicated on the diagram of the standard crane. you should
not apply any kind of device with the exception of the hook supplied by the builder.
It is strictly forbidden to exceed limit values and distances shown in the capacity diagram.
For cranes without safety devices it is strictly forbidden to extend or lower loads heavier than those
indicated in the diagram circled by the load curves.
For cranes with safety devices never come over the load curves; the intervention of the load-limiting
device can cause useless stress to the crane and load swinging.
To reach the maximum performances in vertical (vertical lifting of loads till the limit of the maximum
capacity) indicated on the diagram. it could be necessary to deactivate the regenerative device.
Each load indicated in the diagram is the total useful load that can be lifted and the mass of the lifting
accessories (chain. ropes. blocks. etc.) and/or any lifting equipment (buckets. pallet holders. etc.)
connected directly to the crane.
The maximum distance allowed in the horizontal layout can be evaluated approximately by identifying
the extended booms.
The load that can be lifted between two subsequent extensions. in the horizontal layout. will be an
average value with respect to the relative loads of the previous and next extension.
The operator must respect the work areas of every load. closed off by relative curves on the diagram
that must never be accessed.
These curves are arcs of a great circle for cranes that have no moment limiting device (fig. A ) and
inclined bends for cranes with a moment limiting device (fig. B).
The automatic intervention of the moment limiting device does not let the load curves shown in the
graphics be accessed.
In practice. cranes with no moment limiting device can (but it is strictly forbidden) access these
curves in the shape of arcs of a great circle (fig. A ) by extending the booms and causing the load to
be lowered uncontrollably. which can lead to structural failure. tipping over and serious danger for
the persons exposed.
Cranes with the “speed increase” device disabled can reach maximum vertical efficiency shown in
the load diagram (refer to chapter “Extensions speed increasing”).
