TRUCK SETUP & STABILIZERS
1. The truck should be parked on firm level ground.
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" if it is an automatic.
4. Fully deploy stabilizers to help stabilize vehicle against rocking or overturning.
5. Use stabilizers to level vehicle only. Tires must maintain contact with ground.
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. Disengage the PTO pump and idle speed control.
5. Power down the control pendant and store in a body compartment or the cab.
MAINTENANCE
The crane requires only periodic lubrication. As a standard procedure, this can be done at the time the vehicle is
serviced.
The winch planetary gearbox lube should be maintained at the level plug.
To ensure optimal winch performance, the following lube schedule and lube specifications should be followed:
Initial Change - after 6 weeks or 10 hours of operation.
Periodic Change - on an annual basis or every 50 hours of operation.

120° to 10° High quality SAE 90 gear lubricant oil
Severe Duty Swepco #201 multi-purpose gear oil

grease.
Grease fitting locations:
Boom pivot at rear of boom
Speed reducer (2 fittings)
Elevation cylinder tail clevis
