CRANE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
HT40KX, HT50KX
SAFETY
Before operating this crane, read and understand these instructions, the 920612 Crane Safety
and Hazards Information Sheet, and review all safety & instruction labels on the crane.
CRANE INSPECTION
Before operating this crane, inspect for wear, damage, or oil leakage. After the wire rope has
been run out, check for wear, kinks, and broken strands. Check the hook and safety latch for
damage. Correct any problems before using the crane.
CAPACITY
Before operating this crane, review the capacity charts on the sides of the boom to relate the
load to be lifted to the boom length and angle. The boom angle is shown by a gravity arrow.
SNATCH BLOCK
If the load exceeds 3000 lbs.-HT40KX or 4000 lbs.-HT50KX or if reduced winching speed for
better control of smaller loads is required, use the snatch block to rig the crane for two part line
operation.
CONTROLS
This crane is operated by a remote control pendant. The pendant should be unplugged and
stored in a compartment when the crane is not in use.
Before plugging the pendant in, inspect the plug, socket, cord, pendant head, and switches for
damage. Actuate all four switches both ways to verify that they all have the same feel and
sound and that they return to the center position.
Plug the pendant into the socket on the right side of the crane and snap the strain relief tether
to the crane housing.
PTO SYSTEM
Check the hydraulic fluid level in the PTO system reservoir. Engage PTO and set the engine
idle speed to provide the desired hydraulic flow rate per the PTO system instructions. A lower
idle setting may be used for more delicate spotting of loads if required.
CRANE OPERATION
Use "Winch Down" to release tension on the wire rope to unhook it from the storage tie down
position.
Use "Boom Up" to elevate the boom from the boom rest position.
Avoid repeated rapid reversals of the control switches. This can cause the load to swing.
Check all control functions to see that they are working as described in the following section.
