Published 02-06-2014, Control # 495-00
required, keep hands clear of the engine fan and other
moving parts while performing maintenance.
Be careful of hot surfaces and hot fluids when performing
maintenance on or around the engine.
Do not use ether to start the engine on cranes equipped with
intake manifold grid heaters.
TRANSPORTING THE CRANE
Before transporting the crane, check the suitability of the
proposed route with regard to the crane height, width, length,
and weight.
Check load limits of bridges on the travel route and ensure
they are greater than the combined weight of the crane and
transporting vehicle.
When loading or unloading the crane on a trailer or railroad
car, use a ramp capable of supporting the weight of the
crane.
Ensure the crane is adequately secured to the transporting
vehicle.
Before transporting the crane on a road or highway, first
check state and local restrictions and regulations.
Either the hook block may be reeved over the main boom
nose or the headache ball may be reeved over the main
boom nose or auxiliary boom nose; the other must be
removed. If the hook block or headache ball remains reeved
on the boom, it must be secured at the tie down on the carrier
to prevent swinging.
When using hookblock tie downs, excessive loading can be
applied by pulling the cable too tight, particularly when
reeved with multiple part lines. When the cable is hooked
into the hookblock tie down, the cable should be merely
“snugged-up” with adequate slack provided at the center line
of sheave to anchor point. Do not draw cable taut. Care must
be exercised anytime any crane function is being performed
while the cable is hooked into the hookblock tie down.
TRAVEL OPERATION
Only the crane operator shall occupy the crane when
traveling.
When traveling, the boom should be completely retracted
and lowered to the travel position and the turntable pin swing
lock, if equipped, should be engaged. If equipped with boom
rest, lower the boom into the boom rest and engage the
turntable lock.
Strictly adhere to the guidelines and restrictions in the Load
Chart for pick and carry operations.
RT and Shuttlelift cranes are manufactured with no axle
suspension system. Traveling at high speeds, especially on
rough ground, may create a bouncing affect that can result in
loss of control. If bouncing occurs, reduce travel speed.
Death or serious injury could result from being crushed by
revolving tires.
Stunt driving and horse-play are strictly prohibited. Never
allow anyone to hitch a ride or get on or off a moving crane.
Follow the instructions in this manual when preparing the
crane for travel.
If using a boom dolly/trailer, thoroughly read and understand
all the steps and safety precautions in this manual for setup
and travel.
When driving the crane, ensure the cab is level, if equipped
with a tilting cab.
Secure the hook block and other items before moving the
crane.
Watch clearances when traveling. Do not take a chance of
running into overhead or side obstructions.
When moving in tight quarters, post a signal person to help
guard against collisions or bumping structures.
Before traveling a crane, check suitability of proposed route
with regard to crane height, width, and length.
Never back up without the aid of a signal person to verify the
area behind the crane is clear of obstructions and/or
personnel.
On cranes equipped with air-operated brakes, do not attempt
to move the crane until brake system air pressure is at
operating level.
Check load limit of bridges. Before traveling across bridges,
ensure they will carry a load greater than the crane’s weight.
If it is necessary to take the crane on a road or highway,
check state and local restrictions and regulations.
Keep lights on, use traffic warning flags and signs, and use
front and rear flag vehicles when necessary. Check state and
local restrictions and regulations.
Always drive the crane carefully obeying speed limits and
highway regulations.
Stay alert at the wheel.
If equipped, ensure that the hoist access platform hand rail
and step are in the travel configuration.
Slopes:
- Pick and carry on level surfaces only.
- Refer to the Operation Section for more detailed
information on traveling on slopes.
- Driving across a slope is dangerous, as unexpected
changes in slope can cause tip over. Ascend or
descend slopes slowly and with caution.
