The Broderson RT-300 Rough Terrain Crane will perform better and longer if a program of
inspection, lubrication, adjustment and general preventive maintenance is followed. We
recommend the following schedule:

W A R N I N G
When the Rated Capacity Limiter is inoperative or malfunctioning, it must be
repaired as soon as reasonably possible. When a lift must be made without a
properly functioning load indicator or RCL, the designated lift supervisor must
establish procedures for determining load weights and load radii and conducting the
lift safely.
