Cautions on setting outriggers
Inadequate setting of the outriggers or an error in setting the outrigger status to the ACS could result in the crane
tipping over. So be sure to check the following before starting work.
①Has the strength of the ground where the outriggers will be set been suffciently discussed with the work
supervisor ?
②Is the crane set horizontal ?
③Are the tires off the ground ?
④Are the outriggers fully extended ?
⑤Are the outrigger stopper pins inserted ?
⑥Has the outrigger extension width been correctly set to the ACS ?

All operations in accordance with rated lifting capacity chart
Make sure that all crane operations are in accordance with the
rated lifting capacity chart for the crane.
Accidents such as the crane tipping over or damage to the boom
etc. cannot be attributed but to operation beyond the rated lifting
capacity of the crane.
The 1st step toward safe operation is to set the crane level on firm
ground using the outriggers, and then operate according to the
rated lifting capacity chart.
Operation very close to or slightly in excess of the limits could
result in an accident.
Everyone including the crane operator and site supervisor must
perform work with a sufficient safety margin.
(0099-0002-0E)
Beware of wind !!
When operating with the boom extended or when hoisting/
lowering a large load, the wind could produce unexpected moment
against the crane and cause the boom to break or the crane to tip
over.
Be especially careful about wind striking the side of the boom or
when operating in the space between buildings.
(0099-0003-1E)

[3]
Don't use the crane to lift the planet !!
If you use the crane to pull up or break off objects which have
been driven into the ground or buried (sheet piles, H-beams, posts,
pipes etc.), or if you try to drag a load toward the crane by raising
the boom, you place a strong diagonal load on the boom which
may exceed rated lifting capacity by many times. Pulling or
breaking off driven or buried objects by raising the boom is
recklessly dangerous as if you would use the crane to lift the
planet. Therefore raising the boom in any way that may apply
diagonal loads is forbidden. If you ignore the danger and the
warning of the ACS and continue such an operation, an excessive
load will act, possibly breaking the boom or the wire rope. Even if
there is no final collapse during operation, the crane will be
damaged resulting in progressive damage even when working
within rated lifting capacity and leading to sudden catastrophic
failure.
(0099-0004-0E)
Absolutely avoid releasing !!
Working with the ACS emergency switch and the overhoisting
emergency switch turned to the release positions risks causing
accidents. Before you start work, always check that both switches
are positioned correctly.
