28 • Section 4 — Before You Operate…
a. Move the radio remote switch on the lower con-
trol console to the On position. This will stop the
engine.
b. Perform the transmitter Start-Up Procedure as
described in Section 6. Start the engine using the
radio controls.
c. Engage the emergency stop.
d. Conrm engine has shut down and all radio con-
trols do not function. If the engine does not shut
down or if movement occurs, the emergency stop
is not functioning properly.
e. Reset the transmitter (refer to Section 6 under
Start-Up Procedure), and start the engine.
f. Tilt the transmitter more than 45 degrees for 5
seconds. No function should operate.
g. Return the transmitter to an upright position, and
reset the transmitter.
h. If both the emergency stop and tilting the trans-
mitter do not stop operation of unit functions, do
not operate the remote control system until the
problem is corrected.
i. Disengage the emergency stop.
19. Test the operation of the radio remote controls. Oper-
ate each function of the unit with the radio controls
from the ground with no personnel in the platform.
WARNING
Death or serious injury can result if the winch line
breaks. Replace a worn or damaged winch line.
20. Inspect the winch line (refer to the Wire Rope Inspec-
tion Checklist in the Appendix). Ensure proper reeving
of the winch line onto the drum. Use a genuine Altec
replacement part to ensure that the proper rope and
design is used. Refer to the Maintenance Manual for
requirements and procedures for replacement.
21. Inspect the modular jib system. Inspect the berglass
personnel adapter for nicks or scratches in the sur-
face. Inspect the pins and pin retainers for condition
and operation.
WARNING
Death or serious injury can result if the unit becomes
unstable. Properly stow the booms before raising
the outriggers.
22. Verify that each outrigger is still extended to the po-
sition noted in either step 13 or 14. If any retraction
has occurred, the outrigger cylinder or its holding
valve is not functioning properly.
23. Make sure the booms are properly stowed, raise
the outriggers, disengage the PTO, and turn off the
engine.
Personnel Handling
Inspect the unit at the beginning of each work shift to
detect potential service and safety problems. Refer to
the Shift/Monthly Inspection and the Wire Rope Inspec-
tion checklists in the Appendix and to the Inspection
Diagram in this section for inspection guidelines. Check
the following items, as equipped, during the shift pre-
operational inspection. Components may be installed
on your unit that require additional inspection. Refer to
those component manuals for more information. If any
problem is found, stop and have the problem corrected
as directed in Section 3 under Crane Inspection before
placing the unit in service.
WARNING
Death or serious injury can result from operating a
unit which has not successfully completed the daily
preoperational inspection. Make sure any malfunc-
tions are corrected by a qualied person before
placing the unit in service.
1. Position the unit on a level surface. Apply the parking
brake, and chock the wheels.
2. Make sure the vehicle tires are in good condition
and properly inated to the pressure posted on the
driver’s side door placard.
3. With the booms and outriggers stowed, check the
oil level in the hydraulic reservoir. The oil level must
be visible through the sight gauge on the side of the
reservoir. If necessary, add oil as described in the
Maintenance Manual. The need to add oil regularly
indicates a leak in the hydraulic system that should
be corrected.
WARNING
Death or serious injury can result from hydraulic
oil being injected into the esh. Do not use hands
or other body parts to check hydraulic lines and t-
tings for leaks.
Seek medical attention if injured by escaping hy-
draulic oil. Serious infection or reaction can result if
medical treatment is not given immediately.
