CRANE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
OVERLOAD ALARM SYSTEMS (OPTIONAL)
This crane may be equipped with an optional overload alarm system.
1. Overload alarm horn sounds if rated load is exceeded at any reach.
2. If alarm sounds, RAISE boom or LOWER winch to remove overload.
3. Always RAISE boom slightly before lifting load - warning system INOPERATIVE when cylinder
is completely bottomed.
4. Alarm can be tested by raising boom against up limit stop.
MANUAL TELESCOPIC BOOM
The 6' -14' and 7' - 15' booms have a 4' manual telescoping section in addition to the 4' power
extension. A toggle pin locks the boom into either the extended or retracted position.
TRUCK SETUP & STABILIZERS
1. The truck should be parked on firm level ground when using the crane.
2. The center of the crane should be positioned close enough to the job so that it can be
operated at a reach that puts the load within the rated capacity of the crane.
3. Set the vehicle parking brake and put the vehicle transmission in "park" (automatic
transmission) or low gear (manual transmission), unless the engine is to be left running.
4. Deploy the stabilizers to stabilize the vehicle against rocking or overturning when lifting with
the crane.
PREPARATION FOR TRAVEL
1. Return the stabilizers to the stowed position. Install and secure all pins.
2. Stow the crane boom in the boom support.
3. Hook the winch line to a tie down point on the body or pedestal and apply tension.
4. TURN OFF MASTER DISCONNECT SWITCH.
5. Unplug the control pendant and store in a body
compartment or the cab.
WARNING
!
·
The pendant (or receiver) plug must be unplugged
from the crane socket and the Master Disconnect
Switch (power) turned "OFF" when the crane is not in
use! Leaving the pendant (or receiver) connected and
power on when not in use may result in dangerous,
unintentional activation of the crane functions.
