07 - 54 RT35 Rough Terrain Crane
the engine operates at “fast idle”.
(4) Make sure that the air flow around the engine and battery is not blocked.
(5) Keep the engine clean. Dirt, grease and other materials can prevent the heat
dissipation.
(6) Use sound judgment in operating the engine. Avoid the two extremes of racing
and lugging.
(7) Do not operate the crane at a high level if it is not necessary.
(8) Do not operate the crane engine too slowly. The engine fan speed cannot be too
slow.
D. Sandy or Dusty Job-Sites
You must keep the air filter clean at all times. A large quantity of sand and/or dust at
the job-site can increase wear on the components. Make sure that the lubrication
schedule increases to a more frequent interval.
(1) Make sure that all filler caps (fuel, oil, coolant, hydraulic oil) are in position and
tight.
(2) When you lubricate the crane fittings, make sure that you clean all the fittings.
Add a large quantity of grease to all points.
(3) Make sure that the outrigger floats are on a stable surface.
(4) Make sure that the “scheduled servicing” intervals are adjusted when the job-site
conditions are not usual.
E. High Altitudes
When you operate the crane in a high altitude, the mixture of fuel-air can change.
There is a decrease in the oxygen for the engine to burn.
(1) Examine the air filter frequently. Make sure that the air to the filter is not blocked.
(2) Examine the engine temperature gauge frequently. The engine can get too hot.
F. Storms
If there is a bad weather condition, do the items that follow:
(1) Set the load on the ground and retract the boom.
(2) Stop the crane and go into a shelter if conditions are dangerous because of
lightning.
(3) If lightning hits the crane, make sure that it is safe to operate before you try to
start it.
(4) Always be aware for a quick change in the weather.
