SAFETY NORMS
( !) This symbol draws your attention on the points concerning safety.
It means: WARNING! BE CAREFUL!
IT CONCERNS YOUR SAFETY!
!ATTENTION!
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY prior to use of the crane or any maintenance.
A few minutes spent now could save time and labour later.
Be sure that the unit has been installed, inspected and tested in accordance
with the local legal requirements.
Check that protections are in their place and that all safety devices are fitted
and active.
Warning plates, as well as instruction and operation plates must be repla-
ced when no longer readable or missing. (See chapters A - B)
Do not run the engine in a indoor area without first making sure there is
adequate ventilation. Fit a suitable extension tube to the vehicle exhaust pipe
to take the fumes away from the working area.
Stabilize the vehicle by means of the outrigger rams, checking that they rest
on a solid base; if in doubt use special larger outrigger base plates (available
on request). (See chapter IX)
Level the crane so as it is always operated on a horizontal plane.
Check that the taps of the outrigger rams safety check valves are closed.
Never operate the outriggers when the crane is loaded.
Remember that the stability of the unit (crane-vehicle) is only guaranteed by
the maximum lateral extension of the outriggers.
Should visibility be insufficient, make sure that control stations are properly
lighted so as to ensure safety while operating control functions and allow rea-
ding of the plates.
Before manoeuvering a load check that the
working area is adequate and properly lighted
for your crane.
Make sure that the hook is always free to rota-
te on its pin and that nothing obstructs its ver-
tical positioning.
Check the efficiency of the hook safety catch.

Carefully inspect the load rigging and the
condition of ropes or chains.
Make sure that the lifted load is balanced.
The pallet fork must be connected to the crane
hook by means of a chain having at least 3 rings.
Hook up the load, checking that it does not exceed
the capacity indicated on the lifting diagram specific
to each load configuration.
It is absolutely prohibited to walk or stop under a
suspended load and for unauthorized persons to
be within the working area.
Avoid swinging the load above the control
station; in cases where the load is too close, the
crane must be operated from the opposite side.
It is absolutely prohibited to load or unload under or in proximity of electric
lines.
(!) The minimum distance
from electric lines is,
according to CEN norms,
5 meters, except for
otherwise prescribed by
national norms.
For cranes with top seat
controls, it is necessary to
use a ladder to reach the
control station.
When operating from the
top seat, stay within its
side safety guards.

Do not rotate the crane befo-
re the load is lifted, do not
operate with sudden
movements, activate the
controls with slow and
progressive movements.
Rotate slowly and with care
paying attention to the
stability of the vehicle.
With vertical lift, on hydraulic
and mechanical extension,
rotate slowly in order to
avoid side-skidding.
Do not move the vehicle if a
load is suspended on the
crane
.
Do not utilize the crane for
pushpull, lateral or sideways
operations.
Under no circumstances interfere with the safety and protection devices.
The vehicle/crane are not left unless the power take off is disengaged
and the load is on the ground.
At the end of the job and prior to driving the
vehicle the crane must be folded.
If the booms are to be laid on the body or on
the load, they must be blocked to prevent
possible sideways movements.
Outrigger rams must be lifted and re-entered
within the overall width of the truck and safety
devices locked.
Check that the taps of the outrigger rams
safety check valves are closed.
Disengage the power take off.
To avoid hitting bridges or tunnels check and
record the overall height of your crane in the
folded position or in laid position in the body or
on the load. Always respect and pay proper
attention to road signs placed in proximity of
such obstacles.

LOAD LIMITING DEVICE - LIFTING MOMENT LIMITING
DEVICE “INTELLIGENT TYPE” (optional)
A characteristic which permits the classification of cranes is their lifting
capacity or maximum lifting moment. The moment is defined by the
value obtained from the product of the load to be lifted (in kg) by its
distance (in meters) from the centerline of the crane rotation.
LOAD LIMITING DEVICE
The device called “load limiting device” utilizes a small main pressure valve insered
on the safety check valves of the crane inner and outer rams and of the jib outer
ram. Whe the intervention values are reached, these valves are activated, permit-
ting the slow descent of one of the two, or both, lifting rams (or of the jib outer ram,
when fitted) and preventing use of the crane in an overloaded condition. To stop the
load descent, it is compulsory to raduce the load radius towards the column, opera-
ting the control lever to re-enter the boom extension rams of the crane (or of the
extension when fitted) or with an alternative manoeuvre which reduce the moment
on the column axis.
(!) This operation must be carried out within and not over 5 seconds
from the beginning of the load descent.
(!) ATTENTION (!)
The presence of the lifting moment limiting device does not release the user from
the obligation to respect what is indicated on capacity plates and lifting curves.
LIFTING MOMENT LIMITING DEVICE “INTELLIGENT TYPE”
(optional)
The device called “lifting moment limiting device” preserves the crane structure
from overloads, as it prevents any movement which
increases the value of the moment up to the maxi-
mum established value. This device is fitted close to
the distributor, whose specific functions it uses. It utili-
ses an electrohydraulic technology, preventing any
movement which causes an increase in the pressure
induced by the load in the inner and outer rams of the
crane (and in the outer ram for the hydraulic extension
if fitted), up to the “critical values” which have been
established in the structural test. These values, which
are non-exceedable, determine the intervention levels
and provide the data for setting the device.
The lifting moment limiting device concernes the following
manoeuvres:
— Inner boom descent; the inner boom lift is controlled
by the general main pressure valve of the distributor.
— Outer boom lift.
— Outer boom descent.
— Extension of extension boom sections.
— Winch rope lift (if fitted).
—
If hydraulic extension is fitted: extension outer boom lift.
— Extension outer boom descent.
— Extension of the jib extension booms section.
The device is based on hydraulic controls which are activated
when the intervention value is reached and block the move-
ments of the relevant distributor levers in one or both direc-
tions. Please remember that the device will return the
lever of the element being used to neutral
position.The condition of intervention is operated by
the position of the outer boom (or, if hydraulic exten-
sion is fitted, the position of the extension outer
boom), on which the electronic signal position (mer-
cury level switch) is read by a special electrovalve.
This determines the controls of the locking or
unlocking (resetting) of the controls concerned.
The crane configurations (fig. 8a-b-c) (and the eventual
hydraulic extension) indicate the manoeuvres which are allowed and not allowed
by the device, in connection with the horizontal position of the crane and exten-
sion outer booms.

REACTIVATION button of crane functions in the absence of the electric
power.
(!) On the distributor it has been installed an electro-valve with a manual locking
function (fig. 9-9a) which allows to reactivate all the crane functions in case of
absence of the electric power.
Only in these conditions it is permitted to remove the lead seals which protects
the device. Push the button and turn it into the clockwise sense; the button
stays in stable and closed position.
(!) When the electric power is restablished, remember to put the button in its
original position, turning it into the anti-clockwise sense. (Fig. 9b pos.3-4)
Rubinetto esclusore di EMERGENZ Adel limitatore
Every electrovalve is installed with a screwed tap (emergency exclusion
tap), which must only be used in case of emergency, testing or other
abnormal situations when it is not possible to carry out any of the move-
ments allowed by the device. (Such a probability generally occurs when
the extension booms are completely re-entered or the loads are conside-
rable and voluminous.) Only In these situations it is permitted to remove
the lead seals which protect the device. Slacken the lock nut of the
screwed tap fig. 10-11 (14 mm hexagonal spanner), completely screw in
the tap (5 mm allen key) and re-tighten the lock nut.
(!) ATTENTION (!)
When the operator uses this device, it means that he wishes to over-
ride the lifting moment limiting device in order to make some manoeuvres
(which would be impossible with the device active) that bring the moment
to within the level, but involve an overload condition. In such an emer-
gency condition (where the lifting moment limiting devicehas been
disabled), the operator must be:
- carefully consider the manoeuvres required to return to normal
working condtions;
- calmly and carefully assess the type and scale of the hazards
arising from these manoeuvres and the possible reaction of the
crane (tipping over, frame overload, uncontrolled fall of the load due
to a hydraulic system overload etc...);
- make all movements as slowly as possible to reduce the dynamic
overload to the minimum.
After such emergency operations and prior to re-use of the crane, you must
immediately go to FASSI authorised Center for testing the structure and
re-sealing of the device.
(!) Interferences with the valves or removal of the lead seals release the
Manufacturer from any responsibility and invalidate the warranty.
(!) ATTENTION (!)
The presence of the lifting moment limiting device does not release the
user from the obligation to respect what is indicated on capacity plates
and lifting curves.

CONTROLS TO STABILIZE THE VEHICLE
The outriggers rams prevent hurmful stresses both to the frame and to the
vehicle suspensions on which the crane is mounted and assure the stability
of the unit during load handling.
Supplementary beams (optional)
Supplementary beams (supplementary outriggers) are used in conjunction
with the crane outriggers to ensure the vehicle stability during load handling.
They are hydraulically extendable.

! ATTENTION !
(!) The crane stability is only guaranteed by the maximum lateral
extension of the outrigger supports of the crane and supplementary
outriggers
Be very careful during vehicle stabilization operation; make sure that no one
is or transits in close proximity of the working area of the outriggers.
Check that they are applied on a solid base; the maximum plate pressure of
the rams is:
25,1 daN/cm2on a plate which diameter is 230 mm
If needed use the special base plates (on request).
When stabilization is complete the wheels of the vehicle must still be in
contact with the ground and the suspensions must not be fully
unloaded.
Level the crane so as to operate on a horizontal plane.
The crane is supplied with outrigger supports having hydraulic side
extension. (On request hydraulic extra extendable supports).
The controls to stabilize the vehicle are activated only on ground level and on
both sides of the crane base.

(!) The controls to stabilize the vehicle are in conformity with the safety
directives and enable the operator to activate the lateral extension of the
outriggers (outrigger supports and rams) only from the side where he can
visually check the operation.
The special construction concept of the outrigger control group
which combines the functions of an 8 positions deviator with
those of a distributor segment, allows to use the control lever for
selecting and operating the supports and the outrigger rams.
- The selection (support or ram) is effected, like on a devia-
tor, by positioning the lever on the corresponding position
indicated by the function schematic (plates DE2298 and
DE2297) placed on the controls.
- The control is effected by operating the lever like on a distri-
butor; the stability of the selected position is guaranteed by
an internal device.
The extension and re-entering of the support and outrigger rams
indicated on the fig. 13-14 coincide with what indicated on the plates
DE2298 and DE2297 placed in dual side position on the base.
The symbols reported at side of each lever indicate the operating
levers in relation to their movement.

tions on the vehicle chassis prevent their vertical stowability. They are sup-
ports with articulation to be put between the outrigger supports and rams; the
fixed part is screwed to the outrigger supports and the mobile one to the
outrigger rams.
After the extension of the lateral outrigger supports, place the outrigger ram in
a working condition as follows:
— Remove the check pin and the locking pin from their position (fig. 19),
hand carrying the ram.

new seat and secure it with the check pin.
(!) The locking pin is constructed from special material
- do not replace it with a non original part
- your security depends on it

The controls to stabilize the vehicle are activated only at ground level and
are on both sides of the crane base.
The control of the stabilizers is operated by a special “8 functions” oil-diver-
ter. With the same lever, of the oil-diverter, it is possible to select the function
and to control the outrigger supports or the outrigger rams.
– To select a function (outrigger support or ram) operate as on a oil-diverter
positioning the lever as indicated in the plate DE2455 and DE2456 placed
on the controls.
– To control a lever operate it as on a distributor; an internal device of the
oil-diverter assure the positionning and the selecting stability.
The extension and re-entry of the outrigger supports and rams indicated on
the plates of the fig. 20-23 coincide with what reported on the plates
(DE2455 distributor side and DE2456 double control side) placed on the
controls on both sides of the base.
The symbols placed on the plates define the function in relation with their
