Operating Safety
Remember SAFETY every day. Someone's LIFE may
depend on it, MAYBE YOUR OWN.
Safe operations of a crane requires a well trained,
qualified operator. Crane operation is more involved
than it may appear, and operation by a careless or un
qualified person can result in a serious accident.
When a crane is maintained and used properly it can
be a safe, highly productive piece of equipment, but if
not used properly, it can be dangerous.
Think Safety - You, the operator, are in charge of an
important piece of equipment. It is very important that
you know what it can do. It is also important that you
know what it should not do. No set of instructions can
anticipate all of the situations you will encounter. The
rules given here cover the general usage and some of
the more common specific cases. If conditions arise
not covered by these rules, consult your nearest dis
tributor. A phone call could save someone's life.
General Safety Rules

The following is a list of safety rules which should be fol
lowed during all crane operations.
1-2
Operator Awareness
1. Read this Operator's Manual and heed it. The
manual contains important information.
2. An operator must not eat, read, or otherwise divert
his attention while operating a crane. Remem
ber-operating is a fulltime job.
3. Don't smoke when fueling or fuel up near an open
flame. Keep the nozzle in contact with the filler
neck to prevent static electric sparks. Shutdown
the engine when fueling.
4. Start and operate engine in a well ventilated area.
Diesel exhaust fumes can be harmful. If it is neces
sary to operate in an enclosed area, vent the ex
haust to the outside. Properly maintain the exhaust
system to its original design.
5. Keep your shoes clean. Before entering the operator's
cab, wipe clean any mud, gravel, moisture, or grease
from your feet. Slippery shoes could cause momentary
loss of control of crucial foot operated controls.
6. Keep all nonskid materials on walking surfaces of
the crane clean. Nonskid materials are placed on
the crane to assist operators and service person
nel with safe access/egress to/from the crane and
to/from adjustment and inspection areas. Do not
allow nonskid materials to become contaminated
with mud, oil, paint, wax, etc. Any contamination
can cause the nonskid materials to become slick,
reducing their effectiveness for safety while walk
ing on the crane. If any nonskid materials be
comes ineffective due to wear, age, or destroyed in
any way, they must be replaced.
7. Keep fingers, feet, and clothing away from
sheaves, drums, and ropes unless the crane is
shutdown and everyone knows what you are do
ing. Do not place a hand on wire ropes when
climbing on the crane. A sudden movement could
pull them into the drums or sheaves. Never wear
loose clothing which may be caught in machinery.

By Over 50%.
Figure 1-5
Level the crane.
8. The operator and person in charge of the load
must observe the following rules:
a. Loads must be well secured before lifting. Be
sure that the rigging cannot slip off or pull away
from the load, or get out of position on the load.
Be sure the load is rigged so it will not turn over.
b. Chains and slings must be of adequate size, in
good condition, and not twisted around each
other.
c. The load must not catch on an obstruction
when lifting or swinging. Be sure the load, fall
lines, or any other parts of the crane do not
snag or strike any obstruction.
d. Do not allow the load to rotate out of control.
Personal injury to ground personnel, load
damage, crane damage, or damage to Antitwo block system may occur.
e. When hoisting with single part line, especially
in long falls applications, the design of wire
rope and hookball is crucial to minimize the po
tential for uncontrolled rope and/or load rota
tion. Rotationresistant wire rope is recom
mended for single part of line applications.
See Wire Rope Capacity Chart in Crane Rating
Manual for the specific types of rotation resist
ant wire rope recommended for your crane.
f.
Avoid sudden starts and stops. Lift carefully,

swing gently, brake smoothly, lower and set
loads carefully. Jerking the load, swinging and
engaging swing brake roughly, and lowering
the load rapidly and slamming on brakes, will
put shock loadings and possible side loadings
on the boom. Unnecessary abuse labels the
operator as a beginner. Be a professional.
g. Do not wrap the winch rope around the load.
Do not use discarded, worn, or damaged wire
ropes for slings. They may break and drop the
load.
h. The crane must be level before making a lift.
Use the bubble level, to level the crane. Check
its accuracy frequently with a carpenter's level.
Remember, a three degree side tilt can reduce
capacities by 50% or more.
The hook block and fall lines can also be used
as a plumb bob to level a machine. Pick up a
compact load 2,000-3,000 lb (907-1360kg) a
few inches above the ground. If machine is
level, fall lines will hang directly between the
boom feet. Now swing over the side. The lines
should still hang directly between the boom
feet. Don't use this method on a windy day.

tachment. If the damage is severe, the attachment

could collapse. If a lattice or diagonal bracing
member on the boom or jib is broken, cracked, or
bent, contact your local distributor for repair proce
dures. If the boom or jib is struck, or damaged by
anything, STOP. The loading on a boom or attach
ments increases as they are lowered, therefore
their suspension systems could collapse during
lowering. Use another crane to lower a damaged
boom or attachment.
Don't pull sideways on the boom, not even a little.
Lift straight up on every load. Moving trucks, rail
cars, barges, or anything else pulling sideways on
the winch rope could buckle the boom. It could
also damage the swing mechanism. Pulling side
ways on a boom can overturn the crane.
Do not two block (pulling the hook block into the
head machinery) as this can cause winch rope
breakage, sheave damage or could pull the boom
backwards over the crane resulting in an accident.
Be sure the boom hoist pawl is always engaged ex
cept when lowering the boom. Don't rely on the
boom hoist brake alone to hold the boom. Wear,
improper adjustment, water or oil on linings and
many other factors may affect the ability of the
brake to hold the boom.
Watch the load or signalman at all times. A sus
pended load must have your undivided attention.
Operate the crane from the operator's seat only.
Operating the crane from any other position, such
as reaching in a window, constitutes a safety haz
ard.
Operator's Manual
15. After slack winch rope operation, make sure the
winch rope is properly seated in sheaves and on
drums before continuing to operate. Use a stick or
mallet to set the winch rope, not your hands.
16. Do not lower the load beyond the point where only
two full wraps of winch rope are left on the drum.
This condition could occur when lowering a load
beyond ground level. If all the winch rope runs off
the drum, the load will jerk which could break the
winch rope.
17. Make sure there is a safety latch on the hook, and
that it works properly. Without a latch, it is possible
for slings or chains to come off the hook, allowing
the load to fall.
18. Don't alter any part of the crane. Additions to or
changes in any part of the equipment can create
loadings for which the crane was not designed.
Such changes may seriously affect the usable ca
pacities and make the entire Crane Rating Manual
invalid. Such changes can dangerously overload
or weaken critical parts and may cause disastrous
failure.
19. Do not exceed the rated capacities of the crane un
der any circumstances. While a crane has more
stability when lifting over a corner (as compared to
straight over the side) the crane capacity is not in
creased. Any time the load exceeds the rated ca
pacities listed in the Crane Rating Manual, the
crane is overloaded. Overloads can damage the
crane and such damage could cause failure and
accidents.
20. Lifts where two or more cranes work together can
be hazardous and should be avoided. Such lifts
should be made only under the direction of a quali
fied engineer. If a multiple crane lift is unavoidable,
observe the following rules:
a. The cranes must be level and located on firm
surfaces.
b. The cranes should be the same size and ca
pacity, use the same boom length and be
reeved similarly.
c. Cranes must be positioned so that each boom
point is directly over its load attaching point.
The winch lines must be vertical during all
phases of the lift.
d. The rigging must be placed so each crane lifts
a share of the load well within the crane's ca
pacity.
Right
Figure 1-8
Crane level, beams fully extended, and tires
clear of the ground.
e. Be sure that during handling more load is not
transferred to any crane than it can handle.
f. Don't attempt to travel when making multiple
crane lifts.
g. Coordinate plans with the other operator be
fore beginning to lift.
h. Use only one signal man.
i. Use of an operable load and angle indicating
system is desirable.
21. When operating on outriggers, the beams must be
fully extended. Jacks must be extended so all tires
are clear of the ground, and the crane must be
level. Be sure that pontoons are set on firm sur
face, adequate to support the blocking, pontoon,
crane and load without settling, slipping or collaps
ing. Blocking or matting under pontoons must
form a smooth level surface under the entire pon
toon. Do not block under outrigger beams inside
of pontoons as this reduces stability. Blocking
must be under pontoons only. Remember-there
are tremendous loadings on pontoons and block
ing - the weight of the entire crane plus any load.
When blocking or matting under pontoons, be
sure that each pontoon is supported fully - no un
supported pontoon area is permissible. Be sure
pontoons are on a smooth surface. Rough sur
face, rocks, etc., under pontoons will cause un
equal loadings, and can puncture them, causing
them to collapse.

Capacities are based on outriggers fully extended.

Working with outriggers partially retracted will re
duce capacities and crane stability considerably
and could cause an accident. If any outrigger
beam cannot be fully extended, lifts must be made
while on tires, using only on tires capacities, with
the outriggers fully retracted. Do not make any lifts
with a outrigger beam partially extended.
Before attempting to move the carrier, make sure
there is enough air pressure to operate the brakes.
Always check the brake operation before traveling
the crane.
Brake firmly in one application. Avoid fanning the
brakes. This could exhaust air pressure so fast that
the compressor may not supply enough air.
Do not coast downhill with the transmission in neu
tral. It makes control of the crane more difficult and
dangerous.
Shift the carrier transmission to neutral before op
erating the crane. Crane operation can cause
movement which can damage the transmission or
drive line. When parking, shift to neutral and en
gage the park brake. Block wheels if on an unlevel
surface.
1-6
Wrong
26. When operating over the front, use care not to hit
the carrier cab or front of the crane with the load or
boom.
27. When lifting submerged loads, the suction caused
by the load resting on the bottom acts to increase
the weight of the load - in some cases many times
the actual load weight. This same effect can occur
on land, for example, when a load is embedded in
mud. To break a load loose from suction, don't pull
sideways or a boom may collapse. If possible, rig
the load so it is lifted from one end. Don't jerk on
the load. A steady pull, maintained for several min
utes will often free the load without over loading the
equipment.
When a submerged load reaches the surface,
don't attempt to lift it out of the water all at once. It
may be saturated with water and will weigh many
times what you expect. Allow it to drain as you
raise the load slowly. Be patient, as draining may
take a long time. A load when removed from the
water, even when fully drained, will have a greater
effective weight than it will when submerged be
cause of buoyancy.

Extracting Pilings
28. Don't extract piling, casings, or other such loads by
jerking on them. The practice of pulling on the load
until the machine has tipped, then releasing the
hoist line, allowing the machine to drop back and
catching the hoist line on a clutch or brake may
break the boom. If the piling or casing won't pull
out with a smooth, steady pull, use an extractor,
pulling frame, or some similar rigging intended for
this purpose. Pulling on a load that is not free to be
lifted can develop loadings on the machine far in
excess of the normal weight of the load. Imposing
such loads on a machine can damage the machine
and may cause disastrous failure. When using a
pile extractor, use a shock or vibration insulator
unit.
29. Operating with auxiliary equipment such as pile
driver leads, pile hammers, or caisson boring at
tachments imposes additional loading in the ma
chine. This causes a major reduction in lifting ca
pacities of the machine. Changes in auger and
kelly bar lengths with drilling attachments and in
pile hammer attachments further complicate the
manner in which lifting capacities are reduced.
The weight of each piece of auxiliary equipment is
to be considered a part of the live load acting at the
radius of the center of gravity of the piece.
30. Demolition work can be particularly hazardous.
Shock loadings and side loadings from demolition
ball and clamshell bucket work can be severe. The

repetitive nature of such work imposes heavy de
mands on all parts of the machine. Restrict demoli
tion ball weights to not exceed over 50% of crane
capacity (on tire capacities for truck cranes) at
maximum radius at which you handle the ball, with
the boom length you are using. In no case how
ever, should the ball weight exceed 50% of the
available line pull.
31. When using demolition ball, avoid sudden clutch
and brake applications.
Work steadily and
smoothly. Don't try to knock the whole structure
down with one blow. Use good aim. If the ball
misses its target, out swing could cause machine
tipping or overload. When swinging back, ball may
hit the boom and damage it.
32. When using a clamshell bucket on demolition work
and taking a bite on a piece of unknown weight, be
ready to release the closing line as more weight
than you can handle may break loose. Be pre
pared to drop the load. Be sure you stay within the
boom length and load limitations shown in the
Crane Rating Manual for the crane. Failure to do so
may create fatigue which can lead to eventual fail
ure.

33. When dismantling a structure where a portion is
being cut loose while suspended by a crane, be
sure the weight of the portion being cut loose is
known, and the crane pull on the load is equal to
the weight. The point of attachment must be di
rectly above the center of gravity of the load. The
fall lines must be vertical. This is an extremely haz
ardous operation. The services of a professional
engineer should be used to plan and supervise
such lifts.
34. Cold weather operation requires some special at
tention by the operator to allow for changes in eve
ryday routines:
a. Clean the crane, especially the boom, of accu
mulated amounts of ice or snow. The added
weight of the ice or snow will drastically reduce
the capacity of the crane. Operating the crane
with an ice covered boom is dangerous, as
there is no way to be sure of how much to de
duct for the added weight.
b. During colder temperatures, any air reservoirs
on the crane will need more frequent draining.
c. If cold weather starting aids are provided on
your crane, use them. The use of aerosol start
1-8
ing sprays can be dangerous if the manufac

turer's directions are not closely followed.
d. Pay close attention to the gauges in the opera
tor's cab when starting the engine. Normal
warm up times will be longer. Be sure pres
sures and temperatures are within normal
ranges before beginning operations.
e. Always handle flammable materials according
to the supplier's instructions. Propane or die
sel or other fuel, for auxiliary heaters, can be
dangerous if not properly handled. Do not
store such fuels on the crane.
f. Use caution when lifting any load during freez
ing weather, as it may be frozen to the ground
or the supporting surface. The added tension,
to break the load free, could cause an unsus
pected overload situation. Also, when the load
does finally break loose it could create an er
ratic motion causing damage or injury.
g. At the end of the work shift, park the crane
where it will not freeze to the ground. Major
damage to the drive train could occur while try
ing to free the crane from a frozen surface.

7. Do not remove any connecting pins which are
located behind the pendants which are supporting

8. Stay clear of pinch points when aligning boom
section connecting lugs. Never place your fingers
in connecting pin holes.
9. Know the maximum amount of boom that can be
cantilevered, (projected beyond point of suspen
sion) during boom assembly and disassembly. Ex
ceeding this amount can cause boom or boom
suspension failure.
10. If the boom length is such that mid-point or inter
mediate suspensions is required, make sure it is in
stalled and properly adjusted. Long booms may
buckle in the middle from their own weight without
this suspension.
11. Use caution when disconnecting the dead end of
wire ropes. Reeved rope can become twisted on
the sheaves. When the dead end pin or socket is

Handling The Boom Sections
12. Use care handling the boom and jib sections when
loading, transporting, and unloading. Damage
that occurs during these operations can go unde
tected and could result in failure of the attachment.
Do not attach slings to the lattices as they will bend.
Use the connecting lugs or main chords as the lift
ing points. Use only soft nylon straps minimum 3
inches (7.62cm) in width of sufficient strength to
handle sections.
13. Block under and between the boom and jib sec
tions when loading them on a transport vehicle.
When securing sections to a transport vehicle, it is
best to use synthetic webs or slings. If using wire
rope slings, pad the section to protect it from dam
age. Do not overtighten the tie downs or you may
damage the section. Do not use chain tie downs,
as they may dent and damage the section as well.
14. Thoroughly inspect all the elements of each boom
or jib section before installing it on the crane.
Check each main chord, picture frame, diagonal,
lattice, and connecting lug for bends, dents, and
cracked or corroded welds. Picture frames must
1-12
be square. Do not use any boom or jib section that

is even slightly damaged. Consult your local dis
tributor for the proper repair procedures.
Electrical Dangers
1. All electrical power lines are dangerous. Contact
with them, whether insulated or not, can cause
death or injury. When operating near power lines,
the best rule is to have the power company turn off
the power and ground the lines. However, in some
cases, the operator may be unable to have the
power turned off. Follow these rules whether the
power is turned off or not.
a. Be alert. You are working around conditions
which can cause death.
b. Keep all parts of the crane, fall lines, hook
block, and load, at least 15 ft (4.57m) away
from power lines or as specified in the High
Voltage Power Line Clearance Chart or other
distances specified by applicable codes. Slow
down crane operation.

other duties while the crane is working around
the power line.
e. Erect a suitable barricade to physically restrain
the crane and all attachments (including the
load) from entering an unsafe distance from
the power source.
f. Warn all personnel of the potential danger.
Don't allow unnecessary persons in the area.
Don't allow anyone to lean against or touch the
crane. Don't allow ground workers to hold
load lines, or rigging gear unless absolutely
necessary. In these cases use dry plastic
ropes as tether lines. Make certain everyone
stays at least 15 ft (4.57m) away from the load,
or a distance specified in the High Voltage

2. What do you do if a power line is touched by a

crane or load?
a. Remain calm - think - a mistake can kill
someone.
b. Warn all personnel to keep clear.
c. If crane will still operate, try to move it away
from contact. You, the operator are reasonably
safe in the cab unless the crane is on fire or an
arc is cutting through the cab.
d. Move away from contact in the reverse direc
tion to that which caused the contact. Exam
ple: If you swing left to the wire, swing to the
right to break contact. Remember - once an
arc has been struck, it will stretch out much far
ther than you think before it breaks. Keep mov
ing until the arc has been broken.
e. When the arc breaks, continue moving away
until you are at least 15 ft (4.57 m) away (or a
distance specified in the High Voltage Power
Line Clearance Chart or as specified by local
codes). Stop the crane. Make a thorough in
spection for crane damage before further use.
f. If you cannot disengage from the electrical
line, and the crane is not on fire or no arc is cut
ting through the cab, stay in your seat until
power line can be turned off.

them close together. This could help prevent
personal injury.
3. When using a magnet:
a. Lifting magnet generators produce voltage in
excess of 200 volts and present an electrical
shock hazard. Only trained personnel should
work on the magnet, controller, or wiring.
Don't open the controller door with the genera
tor running.
b. Do not let workmen touch magnet or load.
c. Do not let workmen get between magnet and a
metal object.
d. If necessary to position a load, use a dry,
wooden stick.
e. Open magnet disconnect switch at magnet

Protective Equipment
1. Always replace protective guards and panels be
fore operating the crane.
2. Always wear hard hats, safety glasses, steel toe
shoes,hearing protection, and any other safety
equipment required by local job conditions,
OSHA, or regulations. Do not wear loose clothing
which could get caught in moving machinery.
3. Always wear safety glasses when drilling, grinding
or hammering. Flying chips could injure the eyes.
4. Keep a dry chemical or carbon dioxide fire extin
guisher of 5BC rating or larger in the cab or in the
immediate area of the crane at all times. Instruct all
operating and maintenance personnel in proper
use of the extinguisher. Check periodically to
make sure it is fully charged and in working order.
5. Do not tamper with safety devices. Keep them in
good repair and properly adjusted. They were put
on the crane for your protection.
6. When operating a crane equipped with any form
of load indicating mechanism, overload warning
system, anti-two block system or any automatic
operational aid, remember that such devices can
not replace the skill and judgment of a good op
erator. For instance, such devices cannot tell
when a crane is located on a supporting surface
that will give away, that too few parts of line are be
ing used to lift a load, cannot correct for the effects
of wind, warn that the device may be improperly
adjusted, correct for side pulls on the boom, or for
many conditions which could occur and create
hazards. It requires all the skill, experience, judg
ment, and safety consciousness that a good oper
ator can develop to attain safe operation. Many
safety devices can assist the operator in per
forming his
1-16
Wrong
duties, but he should not rely on them to keep him

out of trouble.
Signalmen And Bystanders

1. Don't allow crane boom or loads to pass over peo
ple, or endanger their safety. Remove all loose ob
jects from load. All unnecessary personnel should
leave the immediate area when crane is operating.
2. Do not allow anyone to ride on the hook ball, hook
block or any part of the load or attachment for
construction work or recreational activities. (This
applies to recreational activities such as bungee
jumping or bungee cord jumping.) Cranes are
intended to lift objects, not people. They are not
elevators.
3. Always look before you back up, or better yet, post
a signalman to guide you. If crane is equipped with
a back up alarm, make sure it is working properly.
Use the horn as a signal. Use a code such as one
beep - stop, two beeps - forward, and three
beeps - backward. Make sure everyone on the
job site knows the code.
4. Do not make a lift which is not in plain sight. This
can lead to an accident or crane damage. Post a
signalman if necessary to fully observe the situ
ation and guide the operator.
Crane Inspections And Adjustments

1. Inspect crane daily. Do not operate a damaged or
poorly maintained crane. Pay particular attention
to the clutches, brakes, attachments, and wire
ropes. If a component is worn or damaged, re
place it before operating. Clutch and brake linings
must be dry and oil free. Oil soaked linings must be
replaced.
Operator's Manual
DANGER
CRANE OUT OF SERVICE
Do not operate the crane or start the

engine without first notifying this
mechanic. Personel within the crane
could be hurt or killed. Crane damage
may also result from premature
operation of systems which are still
under repair.
Signed:
Figure 1-26
Allow engine to cool before removing the
radiator cap
2. When performing repetitive lift applications, espe
cially at or near maximum strength limited capaci
ties, an inspection of the major structural areas of
the crane, for cracks or other damage, should be
conducted on a regular basis. (A non-destructive
test such as magnetic particle or dye penetrant
may even be considered.) Along with inspection
for cracks and damage, frequently check the criti
cally loaded fasteners, such as the turntable bear
ing mounting capscrews, to ensure they have not
been stretched. Not only does frequent inspection
promote safety, but it is also much easier and less
expensive to perform a repair when a crack is
small, before it has a chance to traverse through a
structural member. Any sign of cracks or damage
must be repaired before continuing operations.
Consult your distributor for repairs.
3. When performing maintenance on the crane, do
the following:
a. Lower the boom to the ground.
b. Shutdown the engine and work all control lev
ers back and forth to relieve pressure and relax
the attachment.
c. If the above instructions cannot be followed,
block securely under the attachment so it can
not move.
d. Bleed any precharge off the hydraulic reservoir
before disconnecting any line.
e. Hydraulic oil becomes hot during operation. In
some cases it becomes hot enough to cause
severe burns. Be careful not to let hydraulic oil
come in contact with skin.
f. Disconnect battery cables and remove ignition
key so crane can't be started. Post warning
signs in cab so no one will try to start the en
gine. Never adjust, maintain or repair a ma
chine while it is in operation.
Figure 1-27
Remove the keys from the ignition and post a
sign to make others aware of repair activity
4. When making repairs, which require welding, use

proper welding procedures. Also make note of the
following.
a. All paint in the area should be removed to pre
vent burning the paint. The smoke and fumes
from the burning paint can be very hazardous.
b. Disconnect the carrier and upper batteries.
Move the battery disconnect switches on the
carrier to the OFF position. Disconnect the
batteries from the upper.
c. The welding ground cable should be attached
to the portion of the crane being welded. If
welding on the upper, ground on the upper. If
welding on the carrier ground on the carrier.
Failure to take this precaution may result in
electrical arcs in the turntable bearing.
d. The welding ground cable should always be
connected as close as possible to the area be
ing welded. This minimizes the distance that
electricity must travel.
e. Disconnect computers and other electronic
equipment (such as rated capacity limiters and
engine computers) to prevent damage. Con
tact the distributor or factory for proper proce
dures.
f. Remove all flammables from the proximity of
the welding area.
5. Keep the crane clean, in good repair, and in proper
adjustment. Oil or grease on the decks may cause
falls. Improper adjustments can lead to crane
damage, load dropping, or other malfunctions.
6. Labels, plates, decals, etc. should be periodically
inspected and cleaned as necessary to maintain
good legibility for safe viewing. If any instruction,
caution, warning, or danger labels, decals, or
plates become lost, damaged, or unreadable, they
must be replaced.

Use a tire cage when inflating tires.
7. Use extreme caution when removing radiator
caps, hydraulic pressure caps, etc. They can fly off
and hit you, or you could be burned by hot oil,
water, or steam.
8. Check tires daily for correct pressure. Do not stand
in front of a tire when inflating it. The lock ring can
fly off and injure you. Use a clip on inflator, and
stand aside. Use a tire cage in front of the tire.
9. Inspect the tires for nicks and cuts, embedded
stones, and abnormal wear. Make certain dual
wheels are properly matched for diameter and
tread wear. Check for stones and other objects
wedged between tires on dual wheels. Ensure all
lug nuts are properly torqued.
10. Keep all nonskid materials on walking surfaces of
the crane clean. Nonskid materials are placed on
the crane to assist operators and service person
nel with safe access/egress to/from the crane and
to/from adjustment and inspection areas. Do not
allow nonskid materials to become contaminated
with mud, oil, paint, wax, etc. Any contamination
can cause the nonskid materials to become slick,
reducing their effectiveness for safety while walk
ing on the crane. If any nonskid materials be
comes ineffective due to wear, age, or destroyed in
any way, they must be replaced.
WARNING
Battery posts, terminals, and related accesso
ries contain lead and lead compounds. Wash
hands after handling.

Do not use an open flame near the battery.
11. When checking battery fluid level, use a flashlight,
not an open flame. If the battery explodes, you can
get acid in your eyes, which could cause blind
ness. Don't check battery charge by shorting
across posts. The resulting spark could cause the
battery to explode. Check with a tester or hy
drometer. Don't smoke near batteries.
12. When using jumper cables to start an engine, be
sure to connect negative post to negative post, and
positive post to positive post. Always connect the
two positive posts first. Any spark could cause the
battery to explode. Refer to Jump Starting The
Crane found later in this Operator's Manual.
13. Test the winch brake by raising the load a few
inches and holding. It should hold without slip
ping. It takes more braking power to hold a load in
the air when the drum is full of rope than when it is a
few inches above the ground with only a few wraps
on the drum.
14. Always reduce pressure in hydraulic system to
zero before working on any part of the system.
15. Use extreme care when working with circuits with
accumulators. Check that hydraulic pressure is re
lieved before opening the circuit for repairs.
16. When setting pressures, never exceed the manufac
turer's ratings. Always follow instructions exactly.
Over pressurization can cause hydraulic compo
nent damage or failure of mechanical parts on the
crane. Either of the above can lead to an accident.

Wire Rope
1. Inspect all wire rope thoroughly. OSHA (Occupa
tional Safety And Health Act) regulations state a
thorough inspection of all ropes shall be made
once a month and a full written, dated, and signed
report of the rope condition be kept on file where
readily available. Replace any worn or damaged
rope. Pay particular attention to winch ropes.
Check end connections (pins, sockets, wedges,
etc.) for wear or damage.
2. Use at least the number or parts of winch line
specified on the Wire Rope Capacity chart, located
in the Crane Rating Manual, to handle the load. Lo
cal codes may require more parts of line than is
shown. Check code requirements and use them
where applicable.
3. Nonrotating, rotationresistant, or spinresistant
wire ropes are recommended for single part of line
applications. This is of utmost importance for long
fall hoist line applications. Only if certain criteria are
met may a swivel hook ball be used with rotation
resistant rope. Refer to Single Part Line Hoisting
and Hook Ball Usage With Rotation Resistant
Rope found in section 5 of this Operator's Manual.
4. Do not handle wire rope with bare hands. Always
use gloves to prevent possible injury from frayed or
damaged spots in the rope.
5. Inspect head machinery and hook block often as
damaged or deteriorating sheaves can cause
undo wear of the wire rope.
Crane And Area Clearance

1. Know your job site conditions. Familiarize yourself
with work site obstructions and other potential haz
ards in the area which might lead to mishaps.
Make any necessary arrangements to eliminate
any potential hazards, if possible.
2. Erect barricades around the immediate work area
to prevent unauthorized personnel from wander
ing onto the job site.
3. Be sure your work area is clear. Make sure you
have proper clearance for the crane, boom, and
load. Don't swing, travel, lift, or lower loads, raise
or lower jacks, without first making sure no one is in
the way. If your vision is obscured, locate a signal
man so you can see him, and he can see all areas
you can't. Follow his signals. Be sure you and the
signalman understand each other's signals. See
hand signal chart Figure 1-97. Use the horn to
signal or warn. Make sure everyone on the job site
understands signals before starting operations.
4. When working inside a building, check overhead
clearance to avoid a collision. Check load limits on
floors or ramps so you won't crash through.
5. Don't operate close to an overhang or deep ditch.
Avoid falling rocks, slides, etc. Don't park crane
where a bank can fall on it, or it can fall in an exca
vation. Don't park where rain can wash out footing.
6. Pinch points, which result from relative motion be
tween mechanical parts, can cause injury. Keep
clear of the rotating upper or moving parts.
7. Watch the tail swing of the upper revolving frame
and counterweight. Even though the original setup may have been clear, situations change.
8. Do not store material under or near electrical
power sources. Make material handlers aware of
the dangers involved with storing material under
power lines or in the vicinity of any other hazards.

are lifting includes the weight of any lifting slings or
gear, the hook block, and any other weight on the
hook. If lifting off the boom with the jib installed, the
weight of the jib and rigging must also be consid
ered as part of the load. The total load weight must
never exceed the rated capacity of the crane, as
listed in the Crane Rating Manual, for the position,
boom length, load radius, and condition of opera
tion being used. Remember - capacity ratings are
based on ideal conditions:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
Standing on firm, level surface.

Calm wind.
No side loads or out swing of load.
Good visibility.
Crane in top condition and equipped as when
leaving the factory.
When such conditions can not be attained, loads

being handled must be reduced to compensate.
The amount loads are reduced depends upon how
good or how poor, the actual operating conditions
are. It is a matter of judgment and experience.

When lifting loads in a wind which have large sur

face areas, such as building panels, the movement
of the load may pose a danger to workmen or
building structures. Out swing of a load will in
crease the load radius, and may overload the
crane. This could lead to boom failure or the crane
tipping.
When operating off the main boom with the jib or
other attachment erected, deductions must be
made for its weight. The weight of the added at
tachment, pendants, etc., must be subtracted to
obtain a 'NET' capacity. Failure to do so could re
sult in an overloading condition and cause boom
failure. Refer to the Crane Rating Manual for
amounts to be deducted.
Do not lift two loads at the same time, even if the
total load weight is within crane capacity. Loads on
the boom and jib at the same time, stress the boom
and drastically reduce its ability to handle loads.
Your full attention cannot be given to both loads,
creating a dangerous situation.
Some capacities on cranes are based on strength
of materials. In these cases, overloads will cause
something on the crane to break, before it will tip.
Do not use signs of tipping as a warning of over
load.
Don't lash a crane down unless you are using an
operable load indicating system or are sure of the
weight of every load. Lashing a crane down en
courages overloading. Crane damage or injury
could result.
Do not shock load and/or overload the crane at
anytime. Shock loading or overloading the crane
will reduce the fatigue life of crane components
and could result in component failure.

Do not lift two loads at the same time.
8. When performing repetitive lift applications, espe
cially at or near maximum strength limited capaci
ties, be aware that these applications may reduce
component life. These applications include re
peated lifting (or lifting and swinging) of near 100%
strength limited capacities and repeated lifting
maximum moment loads. These applications may
fatigue the major structural portions of the crane.
Although the crane may not break during these ap
plications, they can reduce the fatigue life and
shorten the service life of the crane. To improve the
service life, while performing repetitive lift applica
tions, consider reducing the capacities to 70% of
maximum strength limited capacities to reduce fa
tigue cracking. Frequently perform a thorough in
spection of all the structural areas of the crane.
Any sign of cracks or damage must be repaired be
fore continuing operations. Consult your distribu
tor for repairs.
9. Always refer to the Crane Rating Manual after
changing the arrangement of the attachments for
the correct lifting capacities.
10. Tubular booms must be assembled in the correct
manner before making a lift. The capacities for
such booms is based on proper boom make up.
Correct placement of boom extensions, based on
length and chord wall thickness, is crucial. On
cranes which have multiple chord wall thick
nesses, refer to the boom make up label for correct
boom section arrangements.
11. Do not use the boom to push or pull. It is not de
signed for this purpose. Such action can damage
the boom and lead to an accident.
12. Know the load radius. Don't guess at it. Determine

the load radius by using the boom angle indicator,
the boom length, and the capacity charts in the
Crane Rating Manual, or measure it with a steel
tape. Remember - Radius is the horizontal dis
tance from the centerline of rotation of the upper to
the center of gravity of the load, when the load is
hanging free.
13. Do not operate the crane at radii or lengths where
the capacity charts in the Crane Rating Manual
show no capacity. Don't use a boom or jib not
shipped with or for your crane. Either of the above
can tip the crane over or cause attachment failure.
In some cases, the crane can tip over with no load
on the hook, forward or backward! Also, if the
boom is long at a low angle, the crane may tip until
the boom touches the ground. In any of these
cases, injury or crane damage could result.
14. When you lift a load with any crane, the load may
swing out, or sideways. The load radius will in
crease. The increase or out swing of the load can
overload the boom, and lead to boom failure or tip
ping. Also, movement of the load can cause it to hit
something. Make sure the load being lifted will re
main within capacity as it is lifted and the boom de
flects.
15. When lowering a boom with a load, the load radius
increases. As the load radius increases, capacity
decreases. If capacity is exceeded, the boom may
bend or the crane may tip. Sometimes at low an
gles, the boom can be lowered with a load, but
cannot be raised. If an operator lowers the boom
under load, he may not be able to raise the boom
and may get into a dangerous situation.

LOAD RADIUS INCREASES

Watch that side tilt!
16. Use caution when booming up to minimum radius.
Be prepared to stop boom travel. If the boom limit
device malfunctions, the boom and backstops
may be damaged, or someone may be hurt. Do
not intentionally boom into boom limit device dur
ing normal operation.
17. When operating near minimum radius, be ready to
boom down as you set the load down, to compen
sate for the tendency of the boom to move back
against the backstops when the load is released.
This action occurs because of the elasticity in the
boom and boom hoist system. Severe bending in
the boom can occur if it is allowed to bear against
the backstops too heavily.
18. When booming down, the load will move away
from the crane and lower as well. To keep the load
from lowering as it moves away from the crane, the
operator must hoist up on the winch rope simulta
neously. When booming up, the load will move to
ward the machine as well as raise. When booming
up, the operator must hoist down as well to keep
from raising the load. Booming up without winch
ing down, can lead to two blocking. This is when
the hook block or the hook ball contacts the head
machinery. Two blocking can lead to sheave or
rope damage.
1-22
19. Know the boom length. Don't guess. Use of an in

correct boom length can cause an accident.
20. The winch rope and boom must be vertical when
starting to lift. If not, the load will swing in, out, or
sideways when lifted from the ground. The crane
will lean toward the load when lifting heavy loads.
This is caused by elasticity of the crane and the
boom. This lean will increase operating radius so
the load will swing outward when it clears the
ground. This out swing is dangerous to anything in
the path of the load, and because of the increase in
load radius may overload the crane. To overcome
this out swing, boom up as the load is lifted so
winch ropes remain vertical. When setting the load
on the ground, lower boom after the load touches
down to avoid hook block spinning when it is un
hooked from load, or the boom contacting the
backstops.

2. Load Radius Increases Due To Centrifugal Force
Figure 1-36
Boom Angle And Single Part Line Operation
21. Use special care when handling loads on single
part line with boom at or near minimum radius. In
single line operation, make sure angle A is always
greater than angle B, or the boom could fall back
wards uncontrollably. Refer to Figure 1-36. This
situation is more likely when the winch line is off the
rear drum. Four (4) parts of hoist line and a hook
block must be used at or near minimum radius on
all booms 100 ft (30.5m) or less.
22. Lifting heavy loads can cause the crane to tilt or
lean toward the load. When swinging a load from
over the end to over the side, the tilt of the crane will
increase. Since tilt acts to increase load radius, it
must be compensated for when swinging the load.
Swing slowly. Change boom angle (raise the
boom) while swinging, to maintain a constant ra
dius, and prevent in swing or out swing of load. If
not, a dangerous condition could result.
23. Watch out for centrifugal force when swinging a
load. Swing gently. Centrifugal force tends to in
crease load radius. This increase in radius could
overload the crane and cause crane damage or tip
ping. When stopping the swing, over swing of the
load can side load the boom.
24. Keep the winch ropes as short as possible to pre
vent excessive swinging. Always use the shortest
boom length which will do the job. Remember the shorter the boom, the better the capacity.
25. Do not move a crane away from the load while
handling near capacity loads. Due to load inertia
Figure 1-37
Watch that centrifugal force!
(weight) the load will tend to stay in position when
the crane starts to move, and then will swing in to
wards the crane. The inertia effect will tend to in
crease load radius and decrease stability. This
could lead to boom failure or crane tipping.
26. Know how much counterweight is on the machine.
The Crane Rating Manual may list different capaci
ties for differing amounts of counterweight. Make
sure you know how your machine is equipped and
use the correct column on the chart to ensure
proper load limitations.
Don't modify the counterweight(s). Don't store
anything on the crane that will act as additional
counterweight. Remember that anything which
has weight, if carried behind the crane's center of
gravity, acts as counterweight. Adding counter
weight affects backward stability of the crane, par
ticularly when working over the side. It also en
courages overloading of the crane.
27. Working areas for cranes are defined per the Work
ing Areas diagram in the Crane Rating Manual.
Permissible loads, per the Crane Rating Manual,
will vary from lifting quadrant to lifting quadrant.
The operator must make sure capacity ratings are
not exceeded regardless of which quadrant he is
operating in, or when swinging from one quadrant
to another.
28. When working on tires, the tires must be inflated to
pressures shown in the Crane Rating Manual.

Traveling
1. Traveling with a suspended load should be
avoided if possible. It is especially hazardous
when terrain is rough or irregular, on a side slope,
or in a hilly area. When traveling with a load, ob
serve the following rules:
a. Use a hand line to control the load and reduce
load swing.
b. Travel by the smoothest, most level route. If a
smooth, level route is not available, don't travel
with a suspended load. Grade the route to pro
vide a smooth, level path. If it is not possible to
grade the route, move the load by stepping.
Level the crane on outriggers, lift the load and
set it down ahead of the crane. Travel the un
loaded crane beyond the load, level the crane
on outriggers, lift the load, swing and set it
down farther along the route. Continue this
procedure until the load is at its destination.
c. Carry loads as close to the ground as possible.
d. Do not allow side swing of the load.
e. Don't attempt to carry loads which exceed the
crane's rating.
f. Don't travel with a load on soft ground. If the
crane sinks into ground, stability can be af
fected to the point of tipping the crane.
g. Keep all personnel clear of crane and load. Be
prepared to set load down quickly at any time.
h. Fully extend outrigger beams. Extend the
jacks until pontoons just clear the ground.
i. Check clearance for the extra width of the
crane with the outriggers extended. Outrigger
beams or pontoons must not catch on any ob
struction.

more details.
Do not exceed the maximum axle load ratings as
listed on the gross weight rating plate.
Do not travel on any surface with an abrupt grade
change of more than 3. One axle may bottom out
against the stops under the carrier allowing the
next two axles to come off the ground and the
weight of the crane will concentrate on the bot
tomed out axle. Serious crane damage may occur.
Road the crane safely. Watch for narrow bridges
and low clearances. Check load limits, heights,
width and length restrictions in the area you are
traveling. Make sure your crane complies with all
regulations.
When roading the crane, note the following:
a. Operate with lights on. Use proper warning
signs, flags and other devices. Use an escort
service if required.
b. Engage swing lock.
c. Remove or restrain the hook block.
d. Check for maximum allowable travel speed,
maximum amount of boom that can be trans
ported and any other travel limitations. Don't
exceed these maximums. Crane damage or
an accident could result.
e. When traveling, outriggers must be fully re
tracted.
f. Remove all pontoons from the outrigger jacks
and store them properly.
Operator's Manual
6. Do not allow anyone to ride in the upper operator's
cab during any highway travel. Highway travel is
considered to be any travel of the crane over 5.0
mph (8.0km/h). Refer to Highway Travel found
later in this Section of this Operator's Manual for
more details.
7. See Traveling The Crane found later in this sec
tion of the Operator's Manual for more detailed
traveling instructions.
8. If the crane must be towed, shift the transmission
to neutral and move slowly. Slowly take up slack in
the rope or chain. Don't jerk, the chain or rope may
break. Keep the chain or rope tight while towing.
Leaving The Station

1. Do not get on or off a crane in motion. Use both
hands when climbing on or off of the crane. If a lad
der is provided, use it.
2. Whenever an operator leaves the control station for
any reason, the following must be done:
a. Lower the load to the ground.
b. Engage the swing lock and the park brake.
Shutdown the engine and remove the keys.
c. Do not depend on a brake to suspend a load
unless the operator is at the controls, alert and
ready to handle the load. Brake slippage, van
dalism or mechanical malfunctions could
cause the load to drop.
3. Do not leave crane unattended with engine running.
4. When changing work shifts be sure to notify the
next operator of any changes or problems with the
crane.
Personnel Handling Guidelines

Introduction
The following information is intended to provide
LinkBelt's recommended minimum requirements
that must be followed when handling personnel
with a personnel basket or work platform (hereafter
referred to as a work platform) suspended by wire
rope from the boom of LinkBelt cranes. These re
quirements are based upon several sources and
are put forth in recognition of current industry prac
tices. However, safety, when handling personnel,
remains the full responsibility of job site manage
ment and is dependent upon the responsible ac
tion of every person on the job involved in the re
lated work.
This information is intended to supplement and not
to supersede or replace any more restrictive federal,
state, or local regulations, safety codes, or insurance
requirements. It is intended to serve users of per
sonnel work platforms in achieving the following ob
jectives.
1. Reduce risk of personal injuries to users and the

public.
2. Inform users of their respective responsibilities.
3. Provide standards of equipment requirements.
4. Provide standards for tests and inspections.
5. Provide standards of operation to promote safety.
LinkBelt cranes are designed and intended for
handling material. They are not normally equipped
with secondary systems or other devices required by
personnel lift or elevator standards and are not inten
ded for handling personnel for construction or
amusement purposes. Use of cranes for these pur
poses is hazardous and is not recommended by
LinkBelt. However, LinkBelt understands that cir
cumstances may occur (in construction work) when
lifting or lowering personnel on a materials handling
crane load line is the only or the least hazardous
method available to position personnel. In fact, Oc
cupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
Part 29 CFR 1926.550(g) states The use of a crane
or derrick to hoist employees on a personnel work
platform is prohibited, except when the erection, use,
and dismantling of conventional means of reaching
the work site, such as personnel hoist, ladder, stair
way, aerial lift, elevating work platform, or scaffold
would be more hazardous or is not possible because
of structural design or work site conditions.
Much corollary and supplementary information is
contained within the following resource documents
pertaining to both cranes and personnel work plat
forms. Job site management must ensure all re
quirements listed in these resource documents are
followed for all personnel handling operations.

Authorization
Authorized use of a work platform may be permitted
only after the following onsite procedures have been
performed:
1. A competent person on the job site (job site man
ager) specifically responsible for the overall work
function to be performed has determined that
there is no practical alternative means to perform
the needed work and has authorized a personnel
lifting operation.
1-25
Operator's Manual
2. For each instance of such lifting, a competent per
son responsible for the task has attested to the
need for the operation by issuing a written state
ment describing the operation and its time frame
and itemizing that each of the on-site authoriza
tion requirements has been met. The written state
ment, after being approved by a qualified person,
shall be retained at the job site. (Refer to Personnel
Handling Pre-Lift Check List For LinkBelt Cranes
found later in this Section for a sample check list.)
3. Review of crane inspection records has been con
ducted to ensure the crane being used meets ap
plicable provisions in ANSI B30.5 and B30.23.
4. Review of the work platform inspection records
and specifications has been conducted to ensure it
meets applicable design standards (refer to ANSI
A10-28).
5. Review of the personnel lifting operation practices
specified in these instructions have been conduc
ted with job site managers and crane operator(s),
foreman, designated signal person, personnel to
be lifted, safety supervisor, and any other per
son(s) who has jurisdiction over the operation to
ensure that they are aware of the hazards of the op
eration and they are aware of provisions of these
instructions that must be adhered to before and
during the personnel lifting operation.
Equipment
1. The crane system shall be equipped with the fol
lowing:
a. A fully functional working operational aid such
as a Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL) system - A
system consisting of devices that sense crane
loading, boom length (extendable booms
only), boom angle, and also automatically
provide an audible/visual signal when the
loading conditions approach, reach, and/or
exceed the rated capacity values. When the
Actual Load exceeds the Rated Capacity, the
system supplies a signal to a function cutout
system. The operational aid shall be equipped
with these additional devices:
1. Anti-two block device to prevent damage
to the hoist rope, other crane components,
or attachments, and subsequent endan
germent of personnel.
It is required that the anti-two block
device warn both audibly and visually as
well as have the capability to cutout the
controls/functions that may cause a two
block condition.
1-26
2. Boom angle indicator.

Cranes with extendable booms must
utilize a boom angle indicator having
high and low set points and audible/
visual alarm(s) capable of activating
function cutouts.
b. Boom hoist and load line shall have power
lowering and raising and shall have an auto
matic brake which is applied when the applic
able control is in neutral, or when the anti-two
block device is actuated.
c. If the crane is equipped with a freefall hoist,
steps shall be taken to ensure its use is not
possible during the use of the work platform.
(Note: A.P.I. applications do not permit the
crane to be equipped with freefall.)
d. Each crane shall have a mechanical swing
park brake or swing lock capable of being set
at any swing position, and shall have a variable
swing brake or swing controls capable of stop
ping the upper swing motion smoothly. The
swing brake must be properly maintained at all
times to ensure its holding capability.
Note: All operational aids and equipment
must be maintained in operable condition.
2. The work platform shall be designed by a qualified
engineer competent in structural design. Its main
tenance, and its attachment to the crane load line,
is the responsibility of the job site management.
Their arrangement shall comply with the following
as a minimum:
a. The work platform harness must be of suffi
cient length to prevent any portion of the work
platform or the harness from coming in contact
with the boom at any working boom angle.
b. Audible and visual alert systems shall be
provided to the personnel in the work platform
to signal for assistance in the event of an emer
gency.
c. Hooks on hook ball assemblies, hook block
assemblies, or other assemblies, shall be of a
type that can be closed and locked, (with a
working safety latch) eliminating the hook
throat opening, and shall be full load-bearing,
and contain a manual trigger release.
3. No unauthorized alterations or modifications shall
be made to the basic crane.

ures for the crane. Refer to ANSI A10-28 for in
spection procedures required for the work plat
form.)
2. The inspection shall be performed once daily when
the crane is being used in work platform service or
each time the crane is converted from material lift
ing to personnel handling operation. In the event
the operator is replaced, a new inspection is re
quired. Written documentation of all inspections
must be kept on the job site during personnel
handling operations.
3. Inspect the crane and work platform for any loose,
damaged, or missing components.
4. Any structural or functional defect which adversely
affects the safe operation of the lift crane shall be
corrected before any operation utilizing a work
platform begins or continues.
5. The hoist drum shall have at least three wraps of

The operator and signal person shall con

duct this test.
This test shall include movement of the work
platform through its entire intended range of
motion, simulating the specific operation to
be undertaken.
A successful stability test must not produce
instability of the crane or cause permanent
deformation of any component.
b. This test load shall be raised and lowered at
maximum power controlled line speed (NOT
FREEFALL).
The acceleration must be
smooth and the deceleration capability of the
control/braking system shall be confirmed by
bringing the work platform to a smooth stop.
(This experience is intended to sharpen the
skill of the operator in handling the work plat
form and to give the operator an opportunity to
evaluate the crane's performance.) The work
platform shall then be inspected for any evid
ent sign of damage or defect.
2. All limiting and warning devices shall be tested by
activation of each appropriate control function.
3. With pinning and latching style extendable booms,
a visual inspection shall be conducted to verify that
the boom extend pins are properly set in the exten
ded boom sections.
Operation And Safety

1. The Operator's Manual for the crane shall be read

pendent upon the responsible action of every per

son on the job involved in the related work.
Mobile lift cranes shall be erected to obtain maxim
um crane stability. The crane must be level and on
firm ground with the outriggers fully extended and
the tires clear of the ground before beginning any
operation.
The operator shall not leave the operator's station
when the work platform is occupied. The operator
shall remain alert in a position of readiness at the
work station with the engine running and the mas
ter clutch engaged, if crane is so equipped.
Unauthorized personnel shall not be in the operat
or's cab on the lift crane, or near the lift crane while
a work platform is suspended from the load line.
Any operation in which a work platform is to be sus
pended from the load line shall be carefully
planned by the operator, supervisory personnel,
designated signal person, and personnel to be lif
ted prior to commencement of such operation.
They are to be advised:
a. That the crane does not have safety devices
normally used on personnel handling equip
ment.
b. That the safety of the operation depends on
the skill and judgment of the crane operator
and others present.
c. Of procedures to enter and leave the work plat
form and other safety procedures.
After positioning of the work platform:
a. All brakes and locks on the lift crane shall be
set before personnel perform any work.
b. With pinning and latching style extendable
booms, a visual inspection shall be conducted
to verify that the boom extend pins are properly
set in the extended boom sections.
Telescope operation is not recommended with any
extendable boom with personnel in the work plat
form.
A work platform attached to load line of lift cranes
shall not be used for working on any energized elec
tric power line, or any energized device or facility
used for electric power generation or transmission.
Minimum working clearance shall be at least twice
that recommended for material handling operations
in ANSI B30.5b section 503.4.5 and ANSI B30.23.
The combined weight of the work platform, any at
tachment device, personnel, tools, and other
equipment shall not exceed 50% of the lifting capa
city of the applicable lift crane capacity chart.
(Note: A.P.I. applications require 25% of lifting ca
pacity as the limit.)

Additional Requirements For Offshore Cranes

1. LinkBelt offshore cranes are designed to handle
materials. However, due to the special conditions
commonly existing offshore, the use of cranes to
transfer personnel between vessels or from a ves
sel to a work platform is an established practice.
The safety of the personnel, if a materials handling
crane is used in transferring personnel, depends
upon the skill and judgment of the crane operator
and alertness of the personnel being transferred.
Sea and weather conditions may create additional
hazards beyond the skill of persons involved.
This operation is approved by the American Petro
leum Institute (A.P.I.). By adopting procedures for
this operation, the institute has determined that the
transfer of personnel may be performed safely un
der certain offshore conditions.
Therefore,
whenever an offshore crane is used to transfer per
sonnel, all persons involved in the operation must
know and implement the A.P.I. procedures and
verify that sea and weather conditions are within
safe limits for the transfer.
In addition to all previous requirements in these In
structions, A.P.I. 2C requires the following:
Boom and load hoists used shall be approved by
the hoist manufacturer for personnel handling
and shall be so indicated on their name plate.
Refer to A.P.I. 2C Section 6 for further details and
procedures.

2. Service Brake Pedal

The air brakes are controlled by the brake pedal.
Press the pedal down to apply the brakes. Release
the pedal to release the brakes.
Air Brake Operation
The distance the service brake pedal is moved
regulates the amount of air delivered to the brake
chamber, which determines the braking force.
The smoothest stop results when the brake appli
cation is as hard at first as crane speed and road
conditions will permit. Then gradually release the
pedal as crane speed decreases. As the crane
stop is completed, the brake application should
only be enough to hold the crane stationary. A
rough stop will occur if the application is light at first
and increased as crane speed decreases.
Do not fan the service brake pedal. This wastes

compressed air and increases stopping distance.
Depress the pedal fully only in cases of emergency
as this makes control of the crane difficult.
If the air system pressure drops far below the nor
mal operating range of 100-120 psi (690-827
kPa), stop the crane and repair the problem. As the
air system pressure falls below 60 psi (414 kPa),
the park brake will automatically begin to apply.

Do not preselect. When making the shift from
a deep reduction ratio to low range, move the
deep reduction valve from IN to OUT
immediately before making the shift. This is
not a preselect valve and only torque will hold
the deep reduction gear after the button is
moved to the OUT position. The shift
cylinder will make the shift by air as soon as
torque is released.
Note: By engaging the clutch with the gear

shift lever in the neutral position, the opera
tor is able to control the rpm of the transmis
sion since it is regulated by the engine rpm.
This procedure enables the operator to
match the speed of the transmission with
the road speed.
4. Quickly depress the clutch pedal to disengage the
clutch and move the gear shift lever to the next gear
speed position.
5. Release the clutch pedal, to engage the clutch.
Shifting The Manual Transmission
Dual Switch Range Selector Style Shifter
The following instructions cover the actual shifting of

the transmission. It is assumed that the operator is fa
miliar with and can successfully coordinate the neces
sary movements of the shift lever and clutch pedal, to
make progressive and selective gear engagements in
either up shifting or down shifting the transmission.
This style shifter uses two dual position switches to se

lect the shift range of the transmission. Three ranges
are available: Deep Reduction (Lo-Lo), Low Range,
and High Range.
Refer to Figure 1-44 and
Figure 1-45 for the associated shift pattern for each
range.
1-39
Operator's Manual
Up Shifting
There are several patterns of upshifting depending
upon conditions of road and load. Check gear ratios to
determine the best ratio progression for your particular
condition. The following instructions are recom
mended for normal conditions:
1. Move the deep reduction valve to the OUT posi
tion to disengage the deep reduction gears.
2. With the gear shift lever in neutral, the engine
started and the air system pressure normal, push
the range control lever down to the LOW range
position.
3. Put the auxiliary transmission in 3rd.
4. Start the vehicle in 1st gear of the low range shift
pattern. Once the carrier is moving and adequate
momentum has been obtained, the transmission
can be shifted from 1st through 2nd, 3rd and 4th
while in low range.
5. When ready to upshift from 4th in low range , move
the range control lever up to the HIGH position
and move the gear shift lever to 5th gear. As the
shift lever passes through neutral, the transmis
sion will automatically shift from low to high range.
6. As the vehicle speed increases, continue shifting
through 6th and 7th to the 8th gear position.
7. Shift the auxiliary transmission from 3rd to 4th.
Note: A road speed limiter is incorporated in the
engine governor to keep road speed below 50
mph (80 km/h) when the crane is factory
equipped with restricted speed tires.
1-40
Down Shifting
1. Shift the auxiliary transmission from 4th to 3rd.
2. Shift from 8th through 7th, 6th and to the 5th gear
position.
3. When ready for the next down shift, push the range
control lever down to the LOW position and shift
the transmission control lever to the 4th gear posi
tion. As the shift lever passes through neutral, the
transmission will automatically shift from high to
low range.
4. Shift down from 4th through 3rd, 2nd and to the 1st
gear position.
Note: When down shifting, it should not be nec
essary to shift into deep reduction ratios. The
low range gear ratios should be sufficient in
most operating conditions.
Skip Shifting
After becoming proficient in shifting the transmission,
the operator may want to skip some shifts. Skip shift
ing may be done while up shifting providing the range
lever is pulled up before the shift which passes 4th
gear. Skip shifting is possible while down shifting, pro
vided the range lever is pushed down to the low range
position before the shift which passes 5th gear.
Note: The auxiliary transmission can be left in 3rd
or 4th position and all shifting done in the main
transmission if desired.
When shifting the auxiliary transmission, move the
shift control valve before disengaging the clutch to
make the shift. This allows time for air pressure to
build in the shift cylinders to make the shift.

Torque Limiter Indicator Box

(Manual Transmission Only)
When the manual transmission is in the lower gears, a
torque limiter is used to protect the power train compo
nents by reducing maximum engine output torque.
This allows the use of low ratio transmissions for slow
job site creep speeds without over torquing compo
nents.
The torque limiter is controlled by a torque limiter box
located in the left rear corner of the engine compart
ment. Refer to Figure 1-46. The box has indicator
lights on it to show what condition it is in. A label is lo
cated on the box to show which light should be on under
which condition. These indicator lights should be
checked periodically to ensure the torque limiter is func
tioning properly.
Note: For best performance, do not operate the

crane with the auxiliary transmission in a low gear
and the main manual transmission in a high gear.
This will result in the engine being torque limited but
the overall gear reduction not being low enough to
provide acceptable tractive effort.
Medium Torque Level: The top light should be on
when the main transmission is in low range, low, or re
verse and the auxiliary transmission is not in low (1st).
Low Torque Level: The bottom light should be on when
the main transmission is in deep reduction and/or the
auxiliary transmission is in low (1st).
The fuses that are located under the torque limiter box
protect the check and stop engine lights and the en
gine control module. The engine control module is pro
tected by two 15 amp fuses and the check and stop en
gine lights are protected by one 5 amp fuse.

The crane travels backwards. The crane does not have to be stopped to
shift into reverse; however, the shift does not occur until the crane speed
is under 3 mph.
Place shift lever in neutral before starting engine. Neutral is used for start
ing, parking, or any stationary operation. No gear is selected.
The transmission selects 3rd as the starting gear and shifts automatically
between 3rd and 9th gears.
When the shift lever is in this position and the service brake is depressed,
the transmission selects 2nd gear at appropriate speed and stays in 2nd
gear until the selector is moved to D. This position has additional fea
tures: gear hold, optimum engine braking, and maximum transmission
cooling.
When the shift lever is in this position and the service brake is depressed,
the transmission selects 1st gear at appropriate speed and stays in 1st
gear until the selector is moved to D. This position has additional fea
tures: gear hold, optimum engine braking, and maximum transmission
cooling.

Automatic Transmission Shift Positions
Automatic Transmission Control
Features
The convertor enhanced electronically managed auto

matic transmission (CEEMAT) is an electronically con
trolled version of the Eaton Fuller 9-speed transmis
sion that shifts itself automatically based on road, load
conditions, and operator power demand.
Each of the following features are performed automati

cally by the transmission.
The CEEMAT utilizes the following modular compo

nents which perform certain functions normally done
by the operator of a manual shift transmission.
Torque Convertor Module: Used instead of a dry
clutch, the torque convertor provides smooth, control
lable starts, as well as offering increased performance
through torque multiplication during the start-up. It
also has a lock up clutch to eliminate slippage at higher
speeds for increased fuel efficiency.
Autoshift Module: This electro-pneumatic device
takes the place of the manual transmission's gear shift
lever and tower, and actually performs the mechanical
shifting inside the transmission.
Electronics Module: The electronic control unit, or
ECU, contains the brains of the CEEMAT. The micro
processor within the ECU receives information from
various sensors and input devices such as the throttle
position sensor, speed sensors, and shift lever. It then
uses the information to send signals to control the pow
er synchronizer, torque convertor, and autoshifter.
1-42
Engine Overspeed Protection

The gear hold or upshift prevents operation actually
raises the upshift point to just beyond the no load, high
idle speed of the engine. Whenever the engine ex
ceeds this speed, the transmission upshifts one gear.
In emergency or panic stop situations, when the
crane's wheels lock-up, the transmission does not
upshift or downshift. When the crane stops, it will take
pressure on the throttle pedal in order to reset the
transmission to a starting gear.
Skip Shifts
On steep grades, the transmission may skip down
more than one gear. During downshifts, crane decel
eration is monitored and a target gear is calculated.
There may be a brief hesitation, especially if the skip
shift must shift both the front section and the auxiliary
section. Torque should recover in an appropriate peri
od of time and the gear selected should allow for con
tinuation up the grade.
Operator's Manual
Shift Shock Protection
Operating Temperatures
The transmission will not shift into drive or reverse from

neutral when the engine is above 1000 rpm's. The
transmission waits until the engine speed is appropri
ate. There is also a maximum speed for shifts from
drive to reverse or reverse to drive for drive line shock
protection.
An oil cooler in the bottom tank of the radiator is used to

maintain proper operating temperatures. Transmis
sion oil temperature is sensed from the torque conver
tor outlet port before the oil enters the cooler.
Special Features
Gear Hold
By moving selector from D to 2 there will be no fur
ther upshifts, except to protect engine from over
speeding. Downshifts occur at slightly higher speeds.
These raised downshift points force the engine to oper
ate at higher horsepower or optimum engine braking.
If your vehicle is equipped with an engine brake, this
technique enhances its operation. Moving selector
back to D resumes normal operation.
Where to use: For optimum engine braking, maximum
cooling
Increased Cooling
To help cool the transmission, watch the transmission
temperature gauge. If the gauge reads above 275F
(135C), select shift lever position 2 or 1 which
forces earlier downshifts and torque convertor lockup
in every gear. If the temperature continues to read too
high, continue downshifts by applying foot brakes.
Check for proper lubrication levels. See Section 2 of
this Operator's Manual.
Where to use: When transmission is too warm
Maximum Cooling
For maximum cooling of the transmission, stop the ve
hicle at a safe location. Select shift lever position N.
Increase engine rpms to 1200-1500 until transmission
temperature cools. If the temperature continues to
read too high, check for proper lubrication levels. See
Section 2 of this Operator's Manual.
Where to use: When transmission is hot
Forced Downshifts
Normal operating temperature, when sensed from the

torque convertor outlet port, should be below 250F
(121C); however, intermittent operating temperatures
to 300F (149C) do not harm the transmission.
When the average temperature of the transmission oil
exceeds the temperature limits as stated above, more
frequent oil changes may be needed. See Maximum
Cooling for operating recommendations under these
conditions.
The following conditions in any combination can cause
the recommended transmission oil temperatures to be
exceeded: (1) operating the transmission in a stall
condition while in the convertor ratios; i.e., extended
operation while in gear with the vehicle stopped or
slowly moving, (2) high density of starts and stops at
slow operating speed, (3) minimal cooler capacity and/
or restricted air flow to the radiator and, (4) improper oil
level/incorrect oil.
Job Site Travel Features

The transmission is programmed such that the torque
convertor will not lock up in 1st or reverse to prevent
any minute jerking during job site travel or pick and
carry applications.
The transmission is equipped with an upshift inhibitor
that will prevent the transmission from upshifting when
the auxiliary transmission in 1st or 2nd gear. For exam
ple if the automatic transmission shift lever is placed in
D to start out, and with the auxiliary transmission in
1st or 2nd, the automatic transmission will remain in
3rd gear. If the automatic transmission shift lever is
placed in 1st gear to start out, and with the auxiliary
transmission in 1st or 2nd, the automatic transmission
will remain in 1st gear even if the shift lever is moved to
2nd. This also prevents any minute jerking during job
site travel or pick and carry applications.
Moving the shift lever to1or 2 from D when in high

er gears (3rd-9th) raises the downshift point approxi
mately 100 rpm's. These raised downshift points force
the engine to operate at higher horsepower or opti
mum (non-retarder) engine braking.
Where to use: Slight inclines
1-43
Operator's Manual
Operation
1. With the gear shift lever in neutral, the engine
started and the air system pressure normal, put the
auxiliary transmission in 3rd.
Note: If key switch is turned ON in any gear oth
er than neutral, the transmission remains in
neutral, regardless of shift lever position. To re
sume transmission function you must reset
the controller, by placing shift lever in neutral,
turning off the key switch and waiting 10-15
seconds.
2. Apply the carrier service brake pedal.
3. Move the shift control lever to D. Remove foot
from the carrier service brake pedal.
Note: The transmission can be progressively
shifted from 1 thru 9 or 2 thru 9 by moving the
shift lever to 1st or 2nd, then D before remov
ing foot from the carrier service brake pedal.
Transmission will automatically shift from 1or 2
thru 9.
5. When in 9th gear move the auxiliary transmission

control to 4th and let off the accelerator pedal to
shift the auxiliary transmission from 3rd to 4th.
Note: A road speed limiter is incorporated in the
engine governor to keep road speed below 50
mph (80 km/h) when the crane is factory
equipped with restricted speed tires.
The auxiliary transmission can be upshifted or down
shifted anytime when main transmission is in 1st, 2nd
or reverse using the following procedure:
1. Move the auxiliary transmission control to the next
gear position in the desired direction while the en
gine speed is above idle i.e. 1000 rpm's.
2. Let off the throttle just enough to totally unload the
power train. Auxiliary transmission will shift.
3. Continue in that gear or go to the next gear in the
sequence by repeating steps 1 and 2.
4. The transmission automatically shifts from gears 3

thru 9 as the crane accelerates.
WARNING
Do not shift the auxiliary transmission while
the automatic transmission is in D and
shifting through the gears. Damage to the
auxiliary transmission could occur. Upshift
the auxiliary transmission when in D after
the automatic transmission has shifted into
9th and engine is approaching governed
speed. Downshift the auxiliary transmission
when in D after the automatic transmission
has shifted into 3rd and engine is near idle
speed.

Diagnostic Features
The Service Transmission indicator light and the
diagnostic connector provides access to diagnostic
codes within the transmission's electronic control unit
(ECU). These diagnostic or fault codes appear in the
form of a series of on/off light pulses called flash codes.
Fault codes may be either active (current problems) or
intermittent (non-current problems). If the service
transmission light begins blinking steadily, it indicates
an active fault code has been registered within the
ECU. See Figure 1-40 for service transmission indica
tor light location.
WARNING
If the service transmission indicator light is on
but not flashing, a problem exists that
requires immediate service attention. Stop
the crane in a safe location, shutdown the
engine and call for assistance.
To

retrieve active fault codes:

Place the shift selector in neutral.
Set the parking brakes.
Turn the key switch off and back on 2 times (OFF/
ON/OFF/ON) within a 5 second period.
Note: It is all right if the engine stops, or contin
ues running, however do not re-energize the
starter when retrieving fault codes, as you may
inadvertently clear the codes in some cases.
4. Read the flash codes.

Reading the flash codes: the flash codes correspond
with the numerals in the fault codes. Example:
2 flashes-PAUSE-1 flash) = Fault Code 21 (Interrupt
Clutch Solenoid)
A long pause (5 seconds) follows each code before
that code is repeated (if only one code exists) or the
next code sequence is given (2 or more codes). exam
ple:
2 flashes-PAUSE-1 flash-long pause-5 flashesPAUSE-6 flashes =Fault Codes 21 and 56.
Once retrieved, the fault code(s) can be used with the
CEEMAT Troubleshooting Guide to help the service
technician isolate the problem and expedite repair.
Note: Non-current or intermittent fault codes may
be retrieved by the service technician by following
the procedure outlined in the CEEMAT Trouble
shooting Guide.

Engine Brake Operation
Once the engine brake master switch is pressed to ac
tivate the system, operation of the engine brake is fully
automatic. Since the engine brake depends on the
free flow of engine oil for operation, be sure to let the
engine warm up before switching it on. The engine
brake can be left on whenever driving, providing the
weather and road conditions are favorable.
To activate the engine brake, simply remove your foot

from the throttle pedal. Note that the engine brake re
mains activated even after the brake pedal has been
depressed, giving the combined power of both the en
gine and service brakes. The engine brake alone will
slow the carrier. However, it is essential that the service
brakes be used to bring the carrier to a complete stop.
To deactivate the engine brake, reapply the throttle
pedal, depress the clutch pedal, or press the master
switch to deactivate the system. Always be sure to de
activate the engine brake master switch when you
shutdown the engine.
1. Engine Brake Master Switch

2. Engine Brake Retarding Level Switch
Figure 1-49
Engine Brake Switches
Descending A Grade
Engine Brake
The engine brake is a device which uses the engine it
self to aid in slowing and controlling the carrier. When
activated, the engine brake alters the operation of the
engine's exhaust valves so the engine works as a
power-absorbing air compressor. This provides a re
tarding action to the wheels.
WARNING
The engine brake is a vehicle slowing device.
It is not a substitute for the service braking
system. The carrier's service brakes must be
used to bring the crane to a complete stop.
Engine Brake Controls

Two switches are used to control the engine brake sys
tem. The master switch turns the system on and off
and the retarding level switch is used to regulate the
amount of braking force made available: 0 (Low), 1
(Med), and 2 (High). Refer to Figure 1-49. Another
switch used to give the engine brake its fully automatic
feature is the clutch pedal, activated by its position.
1-46
An explanation of control speed is helpful in under

standing how to use the engine brake while descend
ing a grade. Control speed is the constant speed at
which the forces pushing the carrier forward on a grade
are equal to the forces holding it back, without using
the service brakes. For example, you may be able to
descend a grade safely at 10 mph, without an engine
brake. With the engine brake, you might be able to de
scend that same grade at 25 mph, and still remain un
der control.
Under some circumstances, you may want to come
down a grade at a faster rate than the control speed.
This can be done by selecting a higher gear, or a lower
position on the retarding level switch. However, you
may have to apply your service brakes intermittently to
prevent over speeding the engine and to keep the vehi
cle at a safe speed.
WARNING
Frequent use of the service brakes, while de
scending a grade, will cause them to heat up
and reduce their stopping ability. The result
can be dangerous brake fade.
Operator's Manual
Since the engine brake is most effective at rated engine
speeds, gear selection is very important. You obtain
maximum retarding power when you use the lowest
possible gear without exceeding the recommended
engine speed. Refer to the engine manufacturer's
manual for rated engine speeds.
There are other circumstances in which you might want
to descend a grade at a rate slower than the control
speed. This is done by selecting a lower gear, one that
will not over speed the engine. You may have to apply
the service brake to obtain the desired lower speed.
As a general rule for maintaining control speed, esti
mate the gear that you would use to climb the grade.
Usually this is the same gear that can be used for a con
trolled descent with an engine brake.
It's always a good idea to determine if your engine
brake is operational before beginning a long steep de
scent. This can be done by briefly lifting your foot off the
throttle. You will feel the engine brake going into action.
Slippery Pavement
If the engine brake is new to you, it is recommended
that it not be use on slick roads until you have some ex
perience with it on dry pavement.
Since the operation of any vehicle under slippery con

ditions is unpredictable, be sure to have plenty of dis
tance when testing service brakes or the engine brake.
When driving on wet or icy pavement, start with the en
gine brake master switch in the OFF position and use
the same gear you would normally use under these
conditions. Put the retarding level switch in the 0
position.
Before activating the engine brake be sure that the ve
hicle is maintaining traction and stability using the natu
ral retarding of the engine alone.
If the vehicle is maintaining traction, you may then acti
vate the engine brake by turning on the master switch.
If the drive wheels begin to lock or there is a fishtail
motion, immediately turn off the engine brake master
switch. Don't turn the engine brake on until road condi
tions improve.
If there was no tendency for the drive wheels to lose
traction and you desire greater slowing power, move
the control switch to the 1 position. If the drive wheels
tend to lock, immediately switch the engine brake
switch into the 0 position. Do not attempt to use the
1 or 2 position until road conditions improve.
In changing weather conditions, check the proper po
sitioning of the control switch often. Remember: do
not skip a step when operating the retarding level
switch switch. Always go from the 0 position, then to
the 1 position, and then to the 2 position.

Emergency Fan Clutch

Operation
The fan clutch is equipped with a thermo (fuse) plug to
prevent damage in the event of a malfunction. Refer
to Figure 1-52. If, for any reason, excessive heat is
building up in the clutch, the thermo (fuse) plug will
blow and create an air leak. This in turn shuts down
the system to prevent further damage. Check the
thermo (fuse) plug for visual signs of melting. An
emergency system is designed to permit temporary
operation if the thermo (fuse) plug is blown. Use the
following procedure for emergency fan clutch opera
tion:
1. Align two holes in the piston/friction disc with two
holes in the sheave. Refer to Figure 1-52.
2. Install two grade 8 5/16-18NC X 1 socket head
capscrews in the holes and torque to 25 ft lb
(33.9Nm). Refer to Figure 1-53.
3. After correcting the malfunction, replace the ther

mo (fuse) plug using the following procedure:
a. Remove the blown thermo (fuse) plug by turn
ing it clockwise (it has left hand threads). Refer
to Figure 1-52.
CAUTION
Do not replace the thermo (fuse) plug with a
straight plug. The piston/friction disc is
balanced and anything other than a new
thermo (fuse) plug will upset the balance and
damage the clutch.
b. Apply teflon-based pipe sealant to the
threads and install new thermo (fuse) plug and
torque to 40-50 in lb (4.5-5.6 Nm).
Note: The above procedure is a temporary

solution, the problem must be corrected as
soon as possible. During emergency fan clutch
operation engine emissions are compromised,
engine horsepower decreases causing de
creased fuel economy, and the engine will run
cooler than recommended.

Ether Start System
Ether Start System

The ether start system is a fully-automatic engine
starting fluid system designed to spray a controlled
amount of ether into the air intake system during and
immediately after cranking. The engine control mod
ule (ECM) determines when the system should func
tion. The ECM sends a signal to the ether injection
relay (EIR) which activates the valve assembly to inject
ether. Whenever the engine does not start within a nor
mal period of cranking the ether fuel cylinder may be
empty. Check the low cylinder indicator located on the
EIR and replace the cylinder as required. The ether fuel
canister is located on the right side of the carrier engine
compartment. Refer to Figure 1-57.
WARNING
When maintaining or troubleshooting ether
start system, always make sure the area is
well ventilated and away from heat, open
flames, or sparks. Wear goggles to avoid eye
injury. When opening ether fuel line or
disconnecting atomizer, make sure it is
pointed away from you. The ethyl ether fuel
used in this system is extremely flammable,
toxic, harmful, and can be fatal.
Note: The EIR requires a constant power supply in

order to preserve the memory of the amount of
ether used. There is an internal backup circuit that
allows the EIR to retain its memory for 72 hours
without a battery connection. If the battery is dis
connected for longer than 72 hours, the EIR will re
set. The ether fuel cylinder should be replaced to
synchronize the counter with the amount of ether
left in the cylinder.

Main Outrigger Operation

The outriggers are controlled with the levers located at
each outrigger. Each station has levers which control
the individual outrigger jacks and outrigger beams of
the crane. A push button throttle switch is also pro
vided to regulate the carrier engine speed. Refer to
Figure 1-59.
A bubble level is provided on each end of the outrigger
box to assist the operator in determining when the
crane is level.
Properly install the outrigger pontoons before extend
ing the jack cylinders. The pontoon must set on a
smooth, solid surface flush with the ground with no hills
or valleys under them or they may be damaged or de
stroyed. If there is any doubt as to the ground condi
tions, use mats under the pontoons. Check pontoons
before and during operations. If they are allowed to

settle, they may lose their effectiveness, and make con
tinued operations unsafe.
To Extend Main Outriggers

1. Park the crane in the desired location. Engage
park brake and shift the transmission to neutral.
2. Remove the pontoons from storage, and attach
one to each outrigger jack.
WARNING
Pontoons must be attached to outrigger jacks
before crane is set on outriggers. If the
pontoons should settle, the jacks could
disengage from the pontoons, causing a loss
of stability.

crane lifting capacity and unsafe operating
conditions can result if these conditions are
not met.
1-56
Operator's Manual
Bumper Outrigger Operation
The front bumper outrigger is required, along with the
four main outriggers, for all On Outrigger capacities.
All outriggers must also be properly set before swing
ing the upper with the upper counterweights installed.
Always set the four main outriggers before attempting
to use the front bumper outrigger.
Bumper Outrigger Control Lever

The control lever for the bumper outrigger is located on
the left side of the carrier behind the front bumper. Pull
the lever to extend the outrigger, push it to retract. Re
fer to Figure 1-59.
Bumper Outrigger Overload

Warning System
The bumper outrigger has a warning system built in to
prevent excessive stress to the carrier frame. If the
bumper outrigger is overloaded for any reason, a pres
sure sensitive switch in the hydraulic circuit will sound
the carrier horn. Under normal circumstances, the car
rier horn will not sound during operation within the ca
pacities in the Crane Rating Manual. If the horn
sounds, lower the load to the ground immediately, and
reset all the outriggers before continuing operation.
To Extend The Bumper Outrigger

1. Level the crane on the four main outriggers.
CAUTION
Always level the crane on the main outriggers
before extending the bumper outrigger.
Failure to do so could result in structural
damage to the crane as the bumper outrigger
alone will not properly support the weight of
the crane.
2. Pin the pontoon to the outrigger jack.
3. Pull the bumper outrigger lever to extend the cylin
der. Hold the lever until the pontoon rests firmly on
a solid surface and the hydraulic system goes over
relief. Release the lever.
To Retract The Bumper Outrigger

1. Push the bumper outrigger lever and hold until cyl
inder is fully retracted.
2. Remove and properly store the pontoon.
CAUTION
The bumper outrigger must be retracted
before the main outriggers. It alone will not
properly support the weight of the crane.
The bumper outrigger pontoon must be
removed from the outrigger jack and stored
before any travel.
Outrigger Removal System

The outrigger jacks on the outrigger boxes can be re
moved to reduce the overall weight of the crane.
The front and rear outrigger boxes can also be re
moved from the carrier to reduce the overall weight of
the crane. A double rod hydraulic pin cylinder system
is utilized to ease removal of the outrigger boxes from
the carrier frame. Quick disconnect type hydraulic fit
tings are also utilized to reduce the effort of removing
the outrigger boxes. Each outrigger box assembly
weighs approximately 12,865 lb (5 836 kg).
The carrier frame is equipped with tracks and the front
outrigger box has rollers. These rollers move along the
tracks to ease removal of the front outrigger box out
from under the right side of the carrier once the jack is
removed. Sturdy skids are required to support the box
after it has been removed.
The live mast can be rigged as a boom or the 10 ft ex
tension with lifting sheave can be used to perform all
the lifting procedures required to remove and install the
outrigger boxes. Refer to the appropriate chart located
in the Crane Rating Manual for allowable lifting capaci
ties. If the live mast or 10 ft extension with lifting sheave
is not utilized for lifting, an auxiliary lifting device will be
required to remove and install the outrigger boxes. The
auxiliary lifting device, skids and any rigging used must
be capable of handling the entire weight of an outrigger
box assembly.
WARNING
Always stand in clear view of the outrigger
jack when operating it. Be sure nothing is in
the path of it to avoid personal injury or
damage to the crane.

The following pages give detailed instructions of indi
vidual controls related to crane operation. It is essential
that the operator knows the function of each control
and its duty in the overall operation of the crane. Refer
to Figure 1-68 for the location of the crane controls.
WARNING
Use a minimum of 4 parts of hoist line with a
hook block installed on all boom lengths of
100 ft (3.05m) or less. The live mast could
overhaul the boom at short radii with short
boom lengths.
Crane damage and/or
personal injury may occur.
WARNING
Read and understand all Operating Safety
instructions in this Operator's Manual before
attempting to operate the crane. This crane
should only be operated by a qualified
operator who has read and understood this
entire Operator's Manual.
Engine Throttle Controls

Hand Throttle
A hand throttle is located on the rated capacity limiter
panel. Refer to Figure 1-67. Using the hand throttle
gives the operator the ability to set and hold a specific
engine speed. Turning the throttle control knob clock
wise increases engine speed; counterclockwise re
duces it. The throttle control switch must be in the
Hand position to use the hand throttle control knob.
Once the hand throttle is set to a desired engine speed
it will remain in that position until manually moved to a
new setting.
Foot Throttle
The engine foot throttle pedal is located on the cab
floor. Refer to Figure 1-68. To operate the foot throttle,
move the throttle control switch to the Foot position
and press down to increase engine speed; release to
decrease engine speed.
Boom Hoist Operation

Raising and lowering the boom is controlled by the
boom hoist control lever or the boom hoist foot pedal.
Pulling the boom hoist control lever back toward the
operator raises the boom. Pushing the control lever
forward lowers the boom. Depress the toe of the boom
hoist foot pedal to raise the boom. Depress the heel of
the boom hoist foot pedal to lower the boom. The
speed at which the boom moves is regulated by the en
gine throttle.
To raise the boom:

1. Refer to the Crane Rating Manual for proper crane
set up based on load radius, working area, etc.
2. Pull the boom hoist control lever toward the opera
tor to raise the boom or depress the heel of the
boom hoist foot pedal. If desired, increase the en
gine throttle to speed up the boom.
3. When the boom reaches the desired angle, return
the boom hoist control lever to Neutral or release
the heel of the boom hoist foot pedal.
To lower the boom:
CAUTION
Wire rope may need to be spooled off the front
and rear winch drums as the boom is lowered.
Failure to do so may cause two blocking.
2. Push the boom hoist control lever forward or de
press the toe of the boom hoist foot pedal to lower
the boom. Control speed of descent by control le
ver or foot pedal position.
Note: Do not lower a long boom at or near full
throttle. Control the lowering speed with the
boom hoist control lever or foot pedal. Half
throttle or slightly less is a good speed for low
ering long booms.
3. When the boom reaches the desired angle, return
the boom hoist control lever to Neutral.
Boom Hoist Limit System

The crane is equipped with a boom hoist limit system
that is used to prevent over hoisting the boom. When
boom reaches minimum radius, a limit switch is tripped
which disables the boom hoist function and prevents
1-71
Operator's Manual
the boom from being raised any further. However, to
release the boom hoist drum lock and lower the boom,
it may be necessary to raise the boom slightly to disen
gage the boom hoist drum pawl. The boom hoist limit
ing bypass switch is then used to reactivate the boom
hoist function to raise the boom enough to release the
drum lock and lower the boom. The boom hoist limiting
bypass switch is located on the right hand roof control
panel. Refer to Figure 1-64.
CAUTION
Boom up with extreme caution when
overriding the boom hoist limiting device. The
limiting device is no longer effective. The
boom backstops or boom base section may
be damaged by booming up past minimum
radius. This damage may cause boom failure.
Wire Rope Winch System

Raising and lowering a load is controlled by the drum
control levers. The engine throttle setting and the
pump control switch will effect the speed of operation.
The following procedures give general instructions for
raising and lowering a load. Variations in load and job
site conditions may require adaptations to these gen
eral procedures. Crane operations are to be performed
only by a qualified operator who has read and fully un
derstands the entire content of this Operator's Manual.
WARNING
The weight of the load must be known before
making a lift. Compare the load weight to the
appropriate capacity chart in the Crane Rating
Manual to ensure compliance with capacity
ratings. Compare the load weight to the Wire
Rope Capacity Chart to determine the number
of parts of line required to lift the load. Rig and
set up the crane to ensure compliance with
both the crane capacity charts and Wire Rope
Capacity chart in the Crane Rating Manual.
WARNING
Do not lift a load to the point where the hook
block contacts the head machinery. Two
blocking could damage the hook block
and/or the head machinery, allowing the load
to fall. Always keep the load and hook block a
safe distance from the boom.
3. To Raise The Load: Slowly pull back on the con
trol lever. If desired, increase the engine throttle to
speed up the winch once the load begins to move.
After the load reaches the desired height, throttle
down and slowly move the control lever to the neu
tral position to bring the load to a complete stop.
To Hold The Load: When the control lever is in the
neutral position, the automatic brake in the winch
system will hold the load in position. The operator
must remain at the controls.
To Lower The Load: Slowly move the control lever
forward. If desired, increase the engine throttle to
speed up the winch once the load begins to move.
After the load reaches the desired height, throttle
down and slowly move the control lever to the neu
tral position to bring the load to a complete stop.
Two Speed Hoist/Lower

A two speed pump is available on the front and rear
drums. The pump provides two speeds for the drum:
HIGH or LOW. Use the low speed for more precise
movement of the load and high speed for optimum pro
ductivity
CAUTION
Do not move the front/rear drum pump control
switch after engaging the drum control lever
(shifting on the fly). Shifting on the fly will
make the hoist line jerk, and may cause
damage to the crane or loss of control of the
load. Always move the front/rear drum pump
control switch before engaging drum control
lever.
Front and Rear Drum Operation

2. Position the head machinery directly above the
load. Connect the hook block to the load.

pacity. Check the adjustment of the boom angle indi
cator daily to ensure its accuracy.
Operator's Manual
Crane Monitoring System
WARNING
Although the system will alert the operator of
an approaching overload or unsafe condition,
it remains the responsibility of the operator to
operate the crane safely at all times.
This system must never be substituted for the
good judgment of the crane operator using
safe operating procedures. The operator is
solely responsible for safe operation of the
crane.
!!THIS SYSTEM IS AN OPERATOR'S AID NOT A SAFETY DEVICE!!
The Rated Capacity Limiter is intended to aid the op
erator in the efficient operation of the crane by continu
ously monitoring the load and warning him of an ap
proaching overload or unsafe condition. The system
monitors crane functions by means of high accuracy
sensors. It continuously compares the load with the
crane capacities stored in the computer memory. If an
overload or unsafe condition is approached, the sys
tem warns by means of audible and visual alarms.
Function limiters will also activate under certain condi
tions to limit crane movement.
The system also provides the operator with a digital
display of the working radius, the main boom working
angle, the weight of the total load (including hook block
and attachments) being lifted, and the maximum per
mitted load for the actual crane condition. See
manufacturer's manual for complete operating and
maintenance instructions.
System Inoperative or Malfunctioning

When operational aids are inoperative or malfunction
ing, the following recommendations for continued use
of the crane should be followed or the crane should be
shutdown.
1. Steps shall be taken to schedule repairs and recal
ibration immediately. The operational aids shall be
put back into service as soon as replacement
parts, if required, are available and the repairs and
recalibration can be carried out. Every reasonable
effort must be made to expedite the repairs and re
calibration.
Figure 1-71
Boom Angle Indicator
2. When the rated capacity limiter is inoperative or
malfunctioning, the designated person responsi
ble for supervising the lifting operations shall es
tablish procedures for determining load weights
and shall ascertain that the weight of the load does
not exceed the crane ratings at the radius where
the load is to be handled.
3. When a boom angle or radius indicator is inopera
tive or malfunctioning, the radius or boom angle
shall be determined by measurement.
4. When the anti-two block warning device is inop
erative or malfunctioning, the designated person
responsible for supervising the lifting operations
shall establish procedures, such as assigning an
additional signal person, to furnish equivalent
protection. This does not apply when lifting per
sonnel in load line supported baskets. Personnel
shall not be lifted in load line supported baskets
when the anti-two block devices are not function
ing properly.
5. When a boom length indicator is inoperative or
malfunctioning, the designated person responsi
ble for supervising the lifting operations shall es
tablish the boom length at which the lift will be
made by actual measurement or markings on the
boom.
6. When a level indicator is inoperative or malfunc
tioning, other means shall be used to level the
crane.
7. In situations where inconsistency exists, verified
weights, measured radii, boom lengths, and au
thorized crane capacities must always take prece
dence over indicator readings.

nent, an audio/visual alarm is activated to alert the op
erator of the pending danger. When the alarm activates
it is essential that the operator discontinue operations
immediately, and correct the two block situation.
Three basic components are used to make up the
anti-two block system. The anti-two block weight
and head machinery switch, located at the head ma
chinery and the audio/visual alarm in the upper cab.
Refer to Figure 1-72.
An anti-two block weight is suspended from each of
the head machinery switches and is used to hold the
switch in the off position. When the anti-two block
1-76
weight is lifted by the hook block, it allows the switch to

activate the audio/visual alarm in the upper cab. In ad
dition to the audio/visual alarm, function limiters are ac
tivated.
The added feature of hydraulic function limiters, pre
vents the operator from continuing crane functions
which will cause a two block situation to occur. The
crane function of winch up is disabled when the antitwo block weight is lifted. This function will remain dis
abled until the two block situation is corrected or the
override switch on the computer is utilized.
The main boom head will always have a head machin
ery switch and weight if the crane is equipped with an
anti-two block system. Each of the added attach
ments used on the crane must employ a head machin
ery switch, proper cable connections and weight as
well, in order for that particular attachment to be moni
tored by the system.

certain aspects are not taken into consideration. The
elevation of the carrier deck alone could cause serious
injury from a fall. For this reason ladders are mounted
on each side of the carrier to provide easy access to the
carrier deck and upper cab. Numerous hand grips are
also attached to the upper cab as well as textured tread
areas on the surface of the carrier, to provide safe entry
to the cab. Use these features to make climbing on the
crane as safe as possible. Remain in three point con
tact with the crane at all times (two hands and one foot
or two feet and one hand).

Operator's Manual
Crane Operation
Cranes are used primarily for making heavy lifts. In or
der to do this properly, certain procedures must be fol
lowed. The following is a suggested procedure for
making typical lifts:
1. Determine the weight to be lifted. Be sure to add the
weight of the hook block, slings, rigging, jib, etc. De
termine height to which the load must be lifted.
2. Consult the capacity chart, working areas and
working range located in the Crane Rating Manual.
Find the shortest boom length and load radius that
will accomplish the job.
3. Do not swing the upper while on tires, use outrig
gers. Position the crane so a minimum swing is
necessary.
4. The crane must be supported by a firm, solid level
surface before starting to lift. All capacities listed in
the Crane Rating Manual are based on the crane
being level in all directions. If the crane is not level,
out swing or side swing of the load will greatly re
duce lifting capacities and could cause crane dam
age or an accident. If the ground is soft, use mats.
5. If outriggers are used, the following points must be
observed:
a. The outrigger beams must be fully extended to
lift the loads shown in the Crane Rating Manu
al. Serious reductions in lifting capacity will re
sult if beams are not fully extended and this
could lead to serious crane damage or an acci
dent. Do not operate with partially extended
outrigger beams.
b. Outrigger pontoons must be on solid, smooth
footing, flush with the ground (no hills, or val
leys under pontoons), otherwise pontoons
may be damaged or destroyed. If there is any
doubt, use mats.
c. All capacities listed for the crane on outriggers
are based on the outrigger jacks being used to
raise the crane so that all tires are clear of the
ground and the crane level. A bubble level is
provided in the upper cab and at each outrig
ger station to assist the operator in leveling the
crane.
d. The bumper outrigger must be properly set af
ter setting the four main outriggers.
6. When making lifts on tires, all tires must be inflated
to pressures as listed on the Tire Inflation label lo
cated on the carrier or Tire Inflation chart in the
Crane Rating Manual. Do not make lifts which ex
ceed capacity chart specifications.
7. Raise the boom and swing over the load.
8. Lower the hook block and fasten it to the load. The
following points must be observed:
a. The boom peak must be directly above the

load. Booms are made to lift, and should never
be used to drag a load sideways.
b. Always use chains, wire ropes, or slings of am
ple size and make periodic checks of their con
dition.
c. Always use sufficient parts of line. Consult
Wire Rope Capacity chart in the Crane Rating
Manual for the number of parts of line needed
for a given lift.
d. When lifting loads, care should be taken to pre
vent sudden loading or unloading of the winch
rope. Ease into the load. Lift the load a few
inches off the ground and hold to check the
brakes.
9. Lift the load to the desired height. Boom to the de
sired angle. Be careful when booming down or
swinging the load, as these increase the load ra
dius and result in a decrease in capacity. Make
sure the load being lifted remains within the lifting
capacity of the crane at the boom length and ra
dius being used.
10. Control the load at all times. Use hand lines to
guide the load. Do not guide loads into place with
your hands. Swing slowly and smoothly. Avoid
jerks when starting or stopping swings.
During Operation
The operator must remain alert to possible malfunc
tioning of the crane while operating. If the crane does
malfunction, lower the load and shutdown the crane
until the problem is found and corrected. During op
eration, the operator must:
1. Remain alert to any noise or loss of power, or bad
response to control of the crane. Watch the hy
draulic oil temperature and water temperature
gauges for proper operating ranges.
2. Listen for any unusual noises in the hydraulic sys
tem, power train, or the speed reducers. If any,
correct problem.
3. Watch for oil leaks or any loss of control. If any de
velop, correct before continuing operation.
4. Make sure all controls work freely and easily, with
no sticking or binding. Lubricate or adjust as nec
essary.
5. If working on outriggers, periodically check the out
riggers to make sure the crane is level and stable. If
working without outriggers, make sure the tires are
inflated to the proper pressure and the boom is po
sitioned directly over the rear of the carrier with the
swing lock engaged. (Refer to the Tire Inflation la
bel on the carrier or Tire Inflation chart in the Crane
Rating Manual for proper tire pressure).
6. Heed all warning and caution labels. Observe
good safety practices at all times.

Upper Counterweight
Installation And Removal
The upper counterweights consist of five individual
pieces: a 30,000 lb (13 608kg) A counterweight, a
25,200 lb (11 430kg) B counterweight, a 21,500 lb
(9 752kg) C counterweight,a 21,500 lb (9 752kg)
D counterweight, and a 10,000 lb (4 536kg)E
counterweight. Refer to Figure 1-78. They can be
installed to the upper in various combinations de
pending upon the desired capacities.
The counterweights can be assembled on the carrier
deck before raising them to the upper. Positioning
blocks located on the carrier deck are used to spot the
counterweights for assembly and easy installation to
the upper. Once the counterweights are assembled on
the carrier deck the upper can be swung into them and
raised to the upper. The crane's live mast or the 10 ft
extension with lifting sheave can be used to perform all
the lifting required to install or remove the counter
weights. Refer to Using the Live Mast as a Boom or
10 Ft Extension with Lifting Sheave in Section 4 of this
Operator's Manual.
Two hydraulic cylinders located at the rear of the upper
frame are used to raise and lower the counterweights
to and from the carrier deck. The controls which oper
ate the cylinders are located on the left rear side below
the the upper platform. Refer to Figure 1-80.
Actuating the control lever operates both hydraulic cyl
inders simultaneously. Push the lever in to retract the
hydraulic cylinders and lower the counterweight; pull
the lever to extend the cylinders and raise the counter
weight. The leveling control valves, located on either
side of the control lever, are used to regulate the oil flow
to the hydraulic cylinders so the counterweight will re
main level during raising or lowering.
CAUTION
Counterweight must remain level at all times.
Drastic tilt in the counterweight during
removal or installation may cause damage to
the removal linkage or sheet metal areas
adjacent to the counterweight. Keep the
counterweight level by using the leveling
control valves.
The leveling control valves must be at least partially
open for the control valve to operate during removal
and installation procedures. During all other opera
tions the leveling control valves must remain com
pletely closed to ensure the counterweight remains in
the proper working position.

Operator's Manual
Undecking And Decking
The Upper
Two procedures are available to undeck or deck the
upper. The first procedure uses a helper crane to un
deck and deck the upper. This procedure can be used
with all machines equipped with a quick disconnect
turntable bearing.
The second procedure uses the optional hydraulic liftoff system to undeck and deck the upper. A crane
equipped with this system can undeck or deck itself
without a helper crane. For more information see
Self-Undecking and Decking System later in this
section of the Operator's Manual.
Undecking And Decking Procedures

W/Helper Crane
The basic upper, without counterweights weighs
approximately 64,000 lb (29 030kg). Lifting equipment
must be provided that can safely lift the upper.
DANGER
Lifting equipment must be in good condition,
properly adjusted and reeved before
attempting to lift the upper. See the capacity
chart for the lifting equipment and make sure it
can do the job before proceeding.
This crane is equipped with a quick disconnect turnta
ble bearing. This component makes undecking the
upper easier because the turntable bearing mounting
bolts do not have to be removed. The bearing is bolted
to the carrier and stays with it after the upper is un
decked.
The upper is connected to the turntable bearing by a
retainer ring. The retainer ring works the same as an
internal snap ring. The ring is retracted or expanded by
a hydraulic cylinder. To undeck the upper, the ring
must be expanded. The retainer ring is inside an adap
tor that is bolted to the upper.
1-92
Undecking The Upper W/Helper Crane

1. Remove boom from upper. Refer to Section 4 of
this Operator's Manual for the proper procedure.
2. Remove the upper and bumper counterweights.
Refer to Counterweight Removal System and
Bumper Counterweight found earlier in this Sec
tion of the Operator's Manual for the correct proce
dure.
3. If the live mast is going to be left on the upper, lower
it until the bridle is the same height as the top of the
cab.

control lever is in the Neutral position.
6. Lock out the swing brake. Refer to Swing Brake
Lockout found earlier in this Section of this Opera
tor's Manual.
7. Leave the upper engine running at low idle.
8. Carefully inspect lifting sling. If pendants are dam
aged or kinked, replace them. Examine the turn
buckles, links and spreader bar for damage. Re
place any items that are suspect.
9. Connect the front pendants to the lugs on the
frame, near the live mast foot pins, and to the
spreader bar. Install the cotter pins in all pendant
pins. Refer to Figure 1-83.
10. Connect rear pendants to turnbuckles. Adjust
turnbuckle to 58 (1.5 m) (dimension A) as a start
ing point. Connect turnbuckles to links on shaft at
rear of the upper. Install cotter pins in all pendant
pins.
Note: The center of gravity will vary because of
the weight of optional equipment. Dimension
A is a starting point.
11. Hook onto the spreader bar with a helper crane.
Raise the sling until it is tight.
12. Remove the cylinder stop from the hydraulic cylin
der. Refer to Figure 1-84. Store the cylinder stop

Traveling The Crane
Hand Signals are important for communications be

tween the designated signalman and the operator. A
hand signal chart, Figure 1-97, is included in this Sec
tion. A copy is also located on the rear exterior of the
carrier cab.
Truck cranes are designed for highway travel and job

site travel, with or without a load. Certain conditions
must be met for safe travel. Refer to the following out
lined procedures before traveling the crane.
These signals should be used at all times unless voice

instructions with a radio or telephone are being used.
One person should be designated as a signalman and
their signals obeyed by the operator. Obey a stop sig
nal from anyone.

Job Site Travel

Job site travel is considered to be any travel off a paved
surface. Job site travel can be performed either with or
without a load. Traveling with a load is considered to be
a Pick And Carry operation.
Operator's Manual
Job Site Travel Without A Load
The crane may be traveled on the job site with the
boom installed, but no load, or with a partially assem
bled boom supported with the boom assembly link.
Job site travel is restricted to a firm, level surface. Refer
to the following procedure for proper job site travel in
structions:
1. Level the crane on fully extended outriggers.
2. Position the upper directly over the rear of the car
rier and engage the swing lock.
3. Cranes with fully assembled booms: refer to
Job Site Travel charts found later in this Section of
the Operator's Manual for allowable boom configu
ration, maximum travel speeds, and boom angle.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Cranes with base section installed: refer to

Boom Carrying Link found later in this Section of
the Operator's Manual for carrying link installation
information.
Inflate the tires to pressure listed on the Tire Infla
tion label on the carrier or in the Crane Rating
Manual based on maximum allowable speed.
Retract all outrigger jacks just clear of the ground
but leave the outrigger beams fully extended.
Remove boom hook block or secure it to carrier
deck.
Limit travel speed to the values stated on the Job
Site Travel chart. Maintain a safe distance from all
obstructions, structures, and power lines.
Once the desired destination is reached, shift the
main transmission to neutral and apply park brake.
Pick And Carry Operation

Travel during pick and carry operations is restricted to
speeds of 1 mph (1.6km/h) or less on a firm, level sur
face. Lifts are to be made off the main boom only, with
the crane prepared as follows:
1. Inflate the tires to the pressure listed on the Tire In
flation label on the carrier or in the Crane Rating
Manual for 1 mph (1.6km/h) maximum speed.
2. Level the crane on fully extended outriggers with
the tires clear of the ground.
3. Position the upper over the rear of the carrier and
engage the swing lock.
4. Remove the jib, if equipped.
5. Retract all outrigger jacks just clear of the ground
but leave the outrigger beams fully extended.
6. Attach as many hand lines as necessary to prevent
the load from swinging during travel.
7. Carefully attach the load to the winch rope and lift it
only as high as necessary.
8. Carefully travel at no more than 1 mph (1.6km/h).
Take extra care due to the increased overall width
caused by the extended outrigger beams. The out
riggers or pontoons must not be allowed to hit any
obstructions. Maintain a safe distance from all per

sonnel and obstructions. Travel only on a firm,
level surface.
9. Once the desired destination is reached, shift the
main transmission to neutral, apply the park brake
and lower the load into position.
Highway Travel
Highway travel is considered to be any travel of the
crane over 5 mph (8km/h). The following conditions
and precautions must be met for any highway travel.
Specific instructions on crane disassembly can be
found in the appropriate Section of this Operator's
Manual.
WARNING
Do not travel on any surface with an abrupt
grade change of more than 3. One axle may
bottom out against the stops under the carrier
allowing the next two axles to come off the
ground and the weight of the crane will
concentrate on the bottomed out axle. Major
crane damage may occur.
1. The boom and jib, if equipped, must be disassem
bled and removed from the crane.
Note: The boom base section may remain in
stalled if local codes and road weight limita
tions will allow the use of the boom carrying link
to carry it over the rear of the carrier. Refer to
Boom Carrying Link found later in this Section
of the Operator's Manual.
2. Remove the upper and bumper counterweights as
required to meet road weight limitations. The out
rigger boxes may also need to be removed in order
to meet local weight restrictions.
3. The upper can be over the front or rear of the carrier
with the swing lock engaged.
4. If the outrigger boxes remain installed on the car
rier, all outriggers must be fully retracted (jacks and
beams) with all pontoons removed from jacks and
stored properly.
5. All upper control levers must be in the neutral posi
tion. The upper ignition key must be turned off, key
removed and all doors and windows locked.
cab during any highway travel.
7. Push the outrigger/steer pump control in to pro
vide power to the steering circuit.
8. Check all tires for correct pressure and adjust if re
quired.
9. Obey all local codes and other Rules of the Road
and travel carefully.

Transporting The Tubular
Boom
When transporting the tubular boom sections, precau
tions should be taken in securing the sections to the
trailer. The following is the suggested method of tubu
lar boom tiedown for transport. When transporting tu
bular boom sections, the following conditions must be
met:
CAUTION
If tubular boom sections are improperly
secured to the trailer, damage could occur
which may weaken the structural integrity of
the boom.
1. Spread-axle trailers are recommended for trans
porting boom sections. Locate rear blocking be
tween, or forward of, the rear axles. Refer to
Figure 1-102, Detail 1.
2. On close-group axle trailers, rear blocking must
be located forward of the rear axle group. Refer to
Figure 1-102, Detail 2.
3. Do not tie down in mid span.
4. Do not strap over top of boom.

5. Secure boom to the trailer with 4 (10cm) nylon
straps over bottom boom chords as shown.
6. Wood blocking should be located directly under
nylon straps in two (2) places.
7. Nylon straps must be kept very tight. Check strap
tightness often. Straps must be twisted to prevent
vibration.
8. Boom Length = 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 (3.05m, 6.1m,
12.2m, 15.2m) boom extensions.
9. Boom extensions stacked together on a trailer
should be of equal length. If extensions cannot be
of equal length, refer to Figure 1-102, Detail 3 for
additional tiedown instructions.
10. Counterweights, crawler side frames, etc. are al
lowed under boom sections. Transport boom sec
tions on trailers with other machine components
whenever possible. Do not tie boom directly to
these other loads. Do not stack loads on top of
boom sections.
11. Pendants should be secured to top panel of boom
section during transport. Locate pendants along
the centerline of the boom and secure each pen
dant to the top lattice in a minimum of four (4) loca
tions.

Crane Storage
Anytime the crane is going to be left unattended, it
should be prepared so that it will not be damaged by
the elements, be an attraction to vandals or a plaything
for children.
Short Term Storage

1. Do not leave the crane where it will be a traffic haz
ard.
2. Lower all loads to the ground.
3. The swing lock must be engaged.
4. All control levers must be in the neutral position
with the control lockout switch OFF.
5. The attachment can be left in the air provided that
the LinkBelt wind speed guidelines are adhered
to. If the wind velocity exceeds the LinkBelt guide
lines any time during crane storage, position the at
tachment on the ground Refer to the Crane Rating
Manual for wind speed and other applicable re
strictions. Do not take chances. If possible store
the attachment on the ground.
6. Shift the transmission to neutral, engage the park
brake and shutdown the engine. Block the wheels
to prevent the crane from rolling if on tires.
7. If the crane is on outriggers, the outriggers must be
properly set and supported so the crane will re
main level.
8. In cold weather, locate the crane where it will not
freeze to the ground.
9. Lock all windows and doors. Remove the keys
from the crane.
Long Term Storage

1. Store the crane inside a building if possible.
2. The attachment can be left in the air provided that
the Link-Belt wind speed guidelines are adhered
to. If the wind velocity exceeds the Link-Belt
guidelines at any time during crane storage, posi
tion the attachment on the ground. Do not take
chances. If possible, store the attachment on the
ground or remove it from the crane. Refer to your
Crane Rating Manual for wind speed and other ap
plicable restrictions.
3. Thoroughly clean the crane.
4. Touch up any spots where paint has chipped. This
will prevent rusting.
5. Lubricate the entire crane as per the Lubrication

Chart. Make sure all gear cases are filled to their
proper oil level.
6. Inflate tires to pressures shown on the Tire Infla
tion label on the carrier or in the Crane Rating
Manual. Check tire pressures periodically during
storage to make sure they do not go flat. If possible
block the crane up so the tires are clear of the
ground. Make sure the blocking is placed so the
crane cannot fall off it. If this is not possible, set the
crane on planks so the tires will not sink into the
ground. Block the tires to prevent the crane from
rolling.
7. Fully retract all hydraulic cylinders. Cover all cylin
der rods, machined and unpainted surfaces with a
coat of grease.
8. All control levers must be in the neutral position
with the control shutdown switch OFF.
9. Engage the park brake and shift the transmission
to neutral.
10. Cover all open areas around the engine, cab, etc.
to prevent entry of water. Cover the entire engine
area with a tarp if possible.
11. Prepare the engine as per the engine manufactur
ers manual. Make sure antifreeze protection is suf
ficient to prevent the engine from freezing. If anti
freeze protection is not adequate, completely drain
the engine block.
12. If in a location where vandalism may occur, lock the
cab doors. Cover all cab glass with plywood or
boards to prevent glass breakage. Provide a
means of locking the engine access doors, fuel
tank and hydraulic reservoir.
13. Drain all moisture from the air reservoirs to prevent
rust and deterioration.
14. Store the crane so it does not provide a plaything
for children. Such a unit can be an attractive nui
sance for children to play on. If they fall off it or get
entangled, serious injury may result.
15. While in storage, the crane should be exercised
every 60 days to ensure the working condition of
the crane. Start the engine and operate all
switches, control cables and hydraulic functions
several times to circulate lubricants and to keep all
mechanisms and linkages operative.
