WARNING
Overload Hazard!
RCL has been installed on crane to aid operator.
Presence of RCL on crane in no way substitutes for, or
lessens, requirement that operator knowledge,
experience, and judgment are required to ensure safe
operation of crane.
Some programming steps may have to be performed
before each lift. If RCL is not programmed correctly, it
will not properly sense load and alert operator to
overload conditions. Before using RCL, operator shall
read and understand instructions in this folio.
