Chapter 2 Operation 7
READ THE ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE CRANE.
Use this manual for reference and for training operators. This manual covers the basics of safe
and correct operation of your crane. However, success and safety depends greatly upon the
skill and caution of the person actually doing the work. Persons engaging in these procedures
do so entirely at their own risk.
Your new IMT crane includes the following safety features:
Automatic Overload Protection (OLP) system which senses an overload and prevents winch
up, boom extension and boom down functions.
Load holding valves in the hydraulic cylinders which prevent the load from dropping in case
of hydraulic hose failure.
Manual reset circuit breaker which prevents over current damage to the electric motors and
contactors.
Arc–suppression circuits in the control module and power cable which minimize contact
arcing and extend the life of switches and contactors.
Anti-Two-Block (A2B) on all cranes with power extension, which stops the boom extension
and/or the winch up functions before contact is made between the block assembly and the
boom.
