LIFTING:
1. Always refer to Crane Capacity Chart in operator's compartment before handling load. Do
not exceed load ratings. Under some conditions the standard capacity ratings cannot be
recommended and must be adjusted downward to compensate for special hazards, such
as weak supporting ground, wind, hazardous surroundings, operator inexperience, etc.
The weight of the load should always be known.
2. Be careful to prevent load swinging. A swinging load can cause instability or loss of control
of the load. Be aware that the Anti-Two-Block System and the Rated Capacity Limiter can
cause sudden stopping of boom movement, which can cause the load to swing. Swing the
boom slowly whenever these systems might stop the boom.
3. Do not allow anyone to put
any part of his body under a
load. The load may lower or
fall if there are damaged
parts in the crane. Also, the
load may drop a short
distance due to thermal
contraction of the hydraulic
oil in the cylinders.
4. Do not use crane to drag loads sideways. Do not use crane to raise grounded or fixed load by
using Boom Raise function.
5. 6.
7. Level the crane before lifting. A small incline will significantly reduce the capacity. Use
appropriate cribbing under the outriggers for leveling. All outriggers must be fully extended
and tires must clear the ground to use the ON OUTRIGGERS ratings.
8. Always use outriggers if possible. If you must lift on rubber, keep the load as close to the
ground as possible to prevent tipover. Move the load very slowly and use tag lines to
prevent load swinging.
