STOWING THE OFFSETTABLE BOOM EXTENSION:
1. If the boom extension is offset to 15 or 30 degrees, return it to the zero offset
position as described above.
2. Perform steps 16-20 of the boom extension installation and stowing procedure.
3. Set the Rated Capacity Limiter configuration.
FRONT AUXILIARY WINCH:
A front auxiliary winch mounted on the front outrigger housing and controlled from the
operator compartment. The winch has 125’ (38m) of 9/16” (14mm) diameter 6x36 EIP-
RRL-IWRC wire rope (33600 pound (150kN) minimum breaking force) and a 5-ton(4.5
metric ton) hook. Limit pulls to 10,000 pounds (4500kg). It has a single-part line pull of
15,000 pounds (6800kg) on the bare drum.
A front auxiliary winch may be used for the following:
1. As a tag line for restraining loads on the boom load line during pick-and-carry
operation.
2. To drag loads on the ground to a position where they may be safely lifted with the
boom.
3. To pull the crane out of mud or other obstacles.
4. To pull a smaller vehicle that is stuck.
W A R N I N G
A front winch must not be used for lifting personnel or loads. Observe the
following safety rules:
1. Never lift or carry personnel with the winch and wire rope.
2. Do not allow anyone to stand near or under the load being moved.
3. Be sure the cable is securely anchored in the drum and that at least five wraps of
rope remain on the drum to insure against the rope pulling out of its anchor.
4. Stand clear of a loaded winch cable. If it breaks, it can be very dangerous.
5. Keep hands clear of the winch and any sheaves that the cable passes over when the
winch is being operated.
6. Do not over-tighten the hook on the storage bracket. This may damage the hook or
the bracket.
7. Do not use the drive train to pull a load that is too heavy for the winch to pull. The
drawbar pull of the RT-300 greatly exceeds the breaking strength of a single part of
line for the front winch.
