First, start the engine in the truck cab. While keeping the clutch pedal depressed, turn the PTO switch on or pull the PTO lever and gradually release the clutch pedal.

Once the stowed hook is freed, the preparation for operation is complete.

Never attempt to overload the crane as overloading may damage the crane or cause the truck to fall over, leading to a serious accident.

Extracting objects from the ground may overstress the crane, causing the crane to break. Excavate buried objects in the ground before attempting to moving them with a crane.

Diagonally dragging cargo on the ground may overstress the crane to the point that it may break. Only move objects after they have been lifted with the hook.

With the strength of the truck wheel drive shaft and the instability of lifting in front of the cabin taken into account, only cargo that weighs up to 25% of the normal load capacity can be lifted in front of the vehicle.
When handling cargo in front of the vehicle, keep this restriction in mind.

Move the relevant levers to stow everything but the hook. Move the crane back to the original position by referencing the sticker on the base of the column.

If a Uni hook is not installed
Fixate the hook to the body with a sling or rope hooked so that it does not jolt while the vehicle is moving. If the hook is reeled excessively without being fixated, the wire rope is more likely to kink; fixate the hook without reeling it too much.

If a Uni hook is installed
Move the control lever to stow the hook.
