99903514: TELESCOPIC CRANE: 1-16 SECTION 1: OPERATION
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROTATE THE
CRANE BEFORE PLACING IT IN THE
DEPLOYED POSITION. DAMAGE TO
EQUIPMENT AND INJURY TO PERSON-
NEL MAY RESULT.
1-12: CRANE SHUTDOWN
1) Retract the extension booms (and cable if
applicable). Be sure to retract the manual
extensions prior to the hydraulic extensions.
2) Secure the hook.
3) Stow the crane in its travel configuration with
the boom in the boom support. Make sure the
winch line is SLACK. After stowing, tighten the
winch line just enough to keep the cable from
contacting the boom. Excessive cable tension
may cause the boom to bounce out of the rest
during transit and may put damaging loads on
the extension cylinder.
CAUTION
EXCESSIVE DOWNWARD PRESSURE
ON THE BOOM SUPPORT MAY DAMAGE
THE BOOM SUPPORT OR THE BODY.
Once the boom is in the transport position, shut
off the truck engine and toggle the inner and
extensions functions on the handset to relieve
any trapped pressure. This will ensure the
boom does not move out of the boom rest
during transit. See Figure A-18.
4. Stow the outriggers.
5. Disengage the throttle control.
6. Depress clutch pedal (if applicable) and
disengage PTO.
7. Secure loose items on truck bed.
8. Release the auxiliary brake.
1-13: OPERATORS
Personnel permitted to operate a crane must
have certain minimum qualifications, conform to
conduct and physical requirements and pos-
sess certain abilities as defined by the Occupa-
tional Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
Other restrictions may be imposed by other
local, state or federal regulations. Be aware of
and follow all such regulations.
Refer to ANSI B30.5 chapter 5-3 for information

tices.
