6 IMT Electric-Hydraulic Crane Operation & Safety Manual # 99903618
Safety
WARNING
KEEP CHILDREN, BY-STANDERS, AND PERSONS NOT REQUIRED IN THE OPERATION
OF EQUIPMENT AT LEAST 10’-0” (3.05 m) FROM THE OUTERMOST RANGE OF THE
CRANE.
CRANE OPERATION
Before engaging the PTO, be sure the carrier vehicle’s transmission is in neutral and the
parking brake is applied.
Stand clear of all moving outriggers.
Know the position of the booms at all times while operating the crane.
Eliminate swing by positioning the boom tip directly over the center of the load before lifting.
Never drag a load.
Check the safety of the load by first lifting the load barely off the ground.
Stop all crane operation at a signal from anyone.
When you rotate the crane, the load may change from being supported by the outriggers to
the vehicle suspension. Be cautious as you rotate the crane, because the springs on the
carrier vehicle will respond differently to the load than the tires will.
Position the crane in its stowed position when not in use.
FIRE PRECAUTIONS
To avoid fires,
Use safety-type portable gasoline containers equipped with an automatic closing cap and
flame arrester.
DO NOT refuel while the vehicle engine is running.
DO NOT smoke in a refueling area.
Install in the vehicle cab a portable fire extinguisher with a basic minimum extinguisher rating
of 10 BC and know how to use the fire extinguisher.
