WARNING
Read Capacity Charts!
Do not attempt to operate crane without first reading and
understanding capacity charts.
Crane must be rigged and operated according to
instructions given in capacity charts and rigging guides.
Unless otherwise specified in capacity charts, all crane
operations must be performed with crane level to within
one 1% of grade in all directions — 1 ft in 100 ft (0.3 m in
30 m); otherwise, crane could tip.
Do not operate crane, to include raising boom from
ground level, if wind exceeds limits given in Capacity
Charts. Contact your local weather station for wind
velocity.
Failing to comply with Capacity Chart requirements can
result in tipping or structural failure of boom or luffing jib.
Moving Load Hazard!
Operator shall select proper crane capacity chart before
operating.
Unexpected drum motion or improper limit responses can
result if wrong capacity chart is selected.
Limit bypass switches must be in enable position (on) and
all limits with which crane is equipped must be operational
before operating crane.
Avoid injuring personnel in operating area!

begin.
Moving Machinery Hazard!
To avoid injuring personnel or damaging crane and
property:
• Do not start engine if warning or out-of-order sign is
present at start controls

starting engine. Sound horn to alert personnel
