Before starting crane levelling, fit the assembly ballast blocks type 400/1 and 320/2 on the base-frame. When the first block 400/1 (1850 kg) is loaded on the rotating base frame, the crane is Unbalanced and tends to bend on the side where the block has been installed. It’s recommended to do this operation on a plain and solid ground, keeping to a safety distance, consistent with the operation.

DANGER ZONE A, extending over the ballast arc of slewing with a radius, from the crane centre of slewing, of about 2.5 meters. Once erection has been completed, this zone shall compulsorily be enclosed and marked, Access is absolutely forbidden whether the crane is operating or not. [At crane erection or disassembling stages, when the safety enclosure has not yet been assembled or removed, mark the boundary of the danger zone with coloured tapes suitable for identifying it. In this case, itis care and responsibilty of the building site's manager to make sure that nobody enters the danger zone while these operations are underway. DANGER ZONE B extends over the slewing arc of the crane boom with a radius, from the crane ‘entre of slewing, of about 32 metres; this zone should preferably be kept free when the crane is in service. Passage of the boom, of the crane and of suspended loads above workers eventually present must be signalled by the crane acoustic warning, so that the personnel may immediately leave the area the boom andor the suspended load are due to travel above. DANGER ZONE C js the area in which the crane would fall in case of eventual overturning; it extends over 2 55 m radius circle around the slewing axis of the crane. The zone may be precautionary Increased in presence of piles of material or buildings, which, should the crane ‘overturn, would cause a dangerous material fall or scattering. Personnel must absolutely stand clear of this zone during erection and maintenance operations, in case of exceptionally strong winds, landslips, landslides, torrential rains and any other event prejudicial to the crane stability. “Parking forbidden’ and "No entry” signs shall be piaced at the boundery of the danger zones. ‘SUMMARY OF DANGER ZONES DANGER ZONE RADIUS.
