Small OTR Service Crane Owner’s Manual
Using the Radio Remote:
To operate the crane using the radio remote control:
1. Make certain that the red e-stop button is in the up position (disengaged).
2. To start up the remote control, follow the instructions provided in the remote control
manufacturer’s manual.
4. To operate the crane, activate and hold the desired toggle (See Radio Remote Control
page for details). The remote control units for these models operate the crane functions
proportionally by using the trigger to control the oil flow entering the control valve when
a specific toggle is activated. The more you engage the trigger, the faster the crane
function will operate.
Note: The Radio remote control is equipped with an emergency stop button. If you
encounter a situation that you need to stop the crane functionality immediately, press
down on the red Emergency Stop button.
Operating the Crane:
1. Slowly pull the trigger and activate the main boom toggle up to un-stow the crane from
travel position.
2. Once the crane is un-stowed, proceed with operating the proper toggles to perform the
service.
Lifting the load:
Consider the following:
• When performing a lift, have the load as close to the ground as possible.
•
Never exceed manufacturer’s capacity charts and ratings. These
ratings are based on the machine’s hydraulic, mechanical, and structural design rather
than stability. If there is a tire manipulator attached to your crane, use the manipulator
load chart, as the weight of the unit must be taken into account.
• Center the crane directly over the load to avoid side loading.
• Make certain that the stabilizers are positioned on flat, stable ground. If the terrain is
soft or loose, stabilizer pads may be required. In icy conditions, bolts can be added to the
holes in the stabilizer pads for additional traction.
