extension, the stinger section must be stowed on the
boom base section, not on the extension base section.

feet) below sheave.
11.
Suspension air bags shall be inflated.
12.
The tires shall be properly inflated.
Rear Tandem Inter-Axle/Cross-Axle Locks
To engage the inter-axle or cross axle differential locks for
maximum pulling power when approaching slippery or poor
road conditions, do the following:
1.
Stop the crane and position the switch to the lock
position.
2.
Proceed over the poor road conditions cautiously.
When adverse conditions have passed, do the following:
1.
Stop the crane and position the switch to the unlock
position.
2.
Resume driving at a safe speed.
Service/Parking Brakes
For the most effective braking and maximum life from the
brake system components, the following suggestions are
made.
•
Air brakes have light pedal operation and the driver is
cautioned to use extreme care in application until a good
feel is achieved.
•
Use the engine as a brake when approaching a stop or
going down a long grade. On a downgrade, use the
same transmission gear as would be needed to go up
the same grade.
•
When necessary to use brakes to reduce crane speed
on downgrades, use an on-and-off application to
minimize heat and wear. Do not hold a continuous brake
application or slide the wheels.
•
When driving on slippery pavement or under icy
conditions, alternately and smoothly apply and release
the brakes to prevent skidding.
•
Keep the tires properly inflated. Improperly inflated tires
can reduce the efficiency of the brakes.
•
After driving through water, dry the brakes by applying
them lightly while maintaining a slow forward speed with
a n a s s u r e d c l e a r d i s ta n c e a h e a d u n t i l b r a k e
performance returns to normal.
NOTE:
If the pressure drops below 14 kPa (2 psi) per
minute with the engine stopped, have the air
system checked for leaks.
•
Regularly check the air pressure gauge. System air
pressure should never drop below 310 kPa (45 psi). If
both systems drop below 310 kPa (45 psi), the
automatic spring brakes will actuate. Normal operating
pressure is 725 to 825 kPa (105 to 120 psi).
NOTE:
Park brake must be set before outrigger controls
can be operated.
CAUTION
Do not operate differential locks on dry roads.
CAUTION
Do not engage or disengage differential locks while
wheels are spinning or at speeds over approximately
16 km/h (10 mph).
DANGER
Stop immediately if low air pressure warning sounds and
determine cause of air loss, Stop by downshifting and use
engine as a brake. Make final stop using a single brake
pedal movement to avoid excessive loss of air and
sudden engagement of parking brakes.
DANGER
Do not use parking brake for stopping crane except in
case of an emergency, as a severe sudden stop will occur.
CAUTION
Release brakes before moving crane, or drive train
damage will result.
