NOTE
HIAB shall at all times have the right to:
• install, maintain and dismantle automated re-
mote diagnostics system or similar sensor-
based system (the “System”) in and from the
Equipment; and
• access, send, receive, collect, store and use
any and all information and data gathered or
created by such System including but not
limited to information concerning operation,
operating environment, movement, condition,
logon, location and similar information relat-
ing to the Equipment (the “Information”).
The Customer shall not in any way remove or
alter the System, nor interfere with the use of the

①Refers to a component in an illustration.
[option]: Indication for parts that are not-standard
for the crane, but are an option. Not all [option]
are available for your crane.
DANGER
Only persons with the requisite knowledge and
experience with cranes may use the crane.
Never operate the crane when you are sick,
tired, under the influence of medicines, alcohol
or other drugs.
• Take the delivery instructions from your
HIAB Service workshop, or receive instruc-
tion from an experienced person from your
own company. Only then should you operate
your crane.
• Ensure that you comply with the statutory
requirements of the country in which you use
the crane (for example, certificate, obligatory
safety-helmet).
DANGER
• Carry out yourself only the service and
maintenance work you have the requisite
knowledge and experience of.
• All other maintenance work may only be
carried out by a HIAB service workshop.
• Ensure that every defect is rectified imme-
diately, according to the instructions.
• Follow the instructions exactly!
• All other work to rectify faults must be
performed by personnel in a HIAB service
workshop!

WARNING
• Never clean the electronic system, plastic
components, signs or bearings with a high-
pressure jet cleaner. It could cause damage.
• Never expose the electronic system to high
electrical voltages. This could damage the
control system.
• Never immerse the controller in water or
other liquid. This will make the controller
unusable.
If your crane is equipped with add-on lifting
equipment (hoist, rotator, etc.):
• The operation of the crane with add-on
lifting equipment can differ from the oper-
ation as described in this manual.
• You should therefore study the Operating
Manual for the add-on equipment careful-
ly, before you use the crane.
• Take particular note when placing the
crane in to or out of transport position.

2.3 Stabiliser system
Every HIAB crane is equiped with two stabiliser
extensions and two stabiliser legs. Auxiliary
stabiliser systems may be needed for heavy
cranes. The stabiliser system consists of:

components:
•①1st boom
•②2nd boom
•③Hydraulic extensions
The length of the hydraulic extension depends
on the type of crane.
•④Manual extensions [option]
•⑤Hoist [option]
•⑥Rope guide [option]

minimum of 3 hydraulic extensions.
•⑦Top roller [option]
The top roller must only be attached to a
hydraulic extension. Never to a manual exten-
sion.

hydraulic extension.
Hooks [option]
Different hooks can be mounted depending on the
crane model.
DANGER

2.5
Hoist [option]
The hoist is a crane accessory which permits load
handling without any or only limited boom
movement. An obvious advantage is that the hoist
makes it possible to handle loads far below
ground level. Lifting and lowering is achieved by
winding/ unwinding the rope. A number of
auxiliary components are needed, such as inter-
mediate pulleys and a hook pulley. As an option,
a snatch block can be installed to duplicate lifting
capacity.
The Hoist consists of the following compo-
nents:
•Wear plate ①for rope end monitoring
•Pressure roller ②
•Rope ③
•Load sensor ④
•Electrical wire to load sensor ⑤
•Electronic box ⑥
•Switch ⑦for 3-rolls left to rope end
monitoring
•Motor ⑧

2.7 LHV Load holding valves
All cylinders are equipped with load-holding
valves as a safety device. After a crane move-
ment they hold the crane in position, also in the
unlikely event of a burst hose.
If there is a leak or a component fractures, such
as a pipe, hose or a coupling, the load-holding
valves will stop the booms from collapsing down,
even when the hydraulic system is switched off,
and you operate a particular crane function.
To operate a hydraulic cylinder equiped with a
load holding valve, an opening pressure is re-
quired.
2.8 Description of HIAB X-Duo

Safety precautions and warnings
Operator's Manual GB
3
3.1 Operating conditions
You may only use the crane under the following
conditions:
• In the open air, or in spaces with sufficient
ventilation.
• With a mean wind velocity less than 13.3
m/sec (approx. 29.7 mph). See the wind
speed table.
DANGER
• If you use the crane in a confined space
you could suffocate from the exhaust gases
from the vehicle.
• Never use the crane in a high wind or
storm. When the mean wind velocity ex-
ceeds 13.3 m/sec (approx. 29.7 mph) the
crane will behave unpredictably. Never use
the crane during a thunderstorm.
•Never use the crane at temperatures below
-40°C (-40°F), as the steel's properties
deteriorate below this temperature.
WARNING
• At temperatures below 0°C (32°F):
Do not touch the operating levers during
the first few minutes.
• When starting in cold weather, the wear on
the hydraulic system is greater than at
normal working temperatures.
To get a good function of the crane, it should
be started as follows:
• Engage the power take-off at low rpm.
• Allow the system to idle for a few min-
utes.
• Operate stabiliser legs up and down for
one minute, in order to warm up the oil.
