The load moment limiter can prevent crane from turning over, boom broken off and personnel
injured because of overloading during operation and ensure normal and safe work of the crane
as well. But never rely on the load moment limiter fully
, and shouldlift a loadaccording to
specified value in the rated lifting capacity table.

Under this situation, only the motion of lifting the look is permitted. When commissioning and
maintaining, press the repair switch on the left electric control panel t
continuously.

WARNING: The repair switch is forbidden to use in normal operation.

sound, and the overwinding indictor will light up. Simultaneously,such dangerous operations
as lifting the hook, telescoping out the boom and lowering the boom are cut off to ensure the
safety.At this time, onlyoperation ofhook lowering, boom retracting andderricking upward
is done, the height limiting weight can be disengaged and the normal lifting operation return to
normal.

auxiliary winches are used together, if either of them is over-winding, only removing its limit
or pressing the repair switch can make main and auxiliary winches return to normal work.
