2250 OPERATOR MANUAL SETUP AND INSTALLATION
Second Crawler Installation
See Figure 4-19 for the following procedure.
The second crawler can be installed using either of these
methods:
• Method A—when the trailer carrying the second crawler
is positioned on the opposite side of the carbody that the
first crawler is installed on (see View A)
• Method B—when the trailer carrying the second crawler
is positioned on the same side of the carbody that the
first crawler is installed on (see View B)
NOTE: For this method, the first crawler must be lowered
to the ground to prevent the crane from tipping
when the second crawler is swung.
Install the second crawler using Method A.
1. Position the trailer carrying the second crawler along
opposite side of the carbody that the first crawler is
installed on (Figure 4-19
, View A).
2. The crawler can be positioned either parallel or
perpendicular to the carbody, as long as the maximum
radius is not exceeded.
3. Rotate the rear jacks to the horizontal “wing” position
(Figure 4-19
, View C). Do not rotate the jacks to the
stored position.
4. Repeat step 2
through step 15 in Figure First Crawler
Installation on page 4-30.
5. Slowly rotate the crawler treads in either direction with
the crawler controls to the center treads on the crawler
frame.
6. Remove and store the carbody pedestals. See Remove
Carbody Pedestals on page 4-35.
Install the second crawler using Method B.
1. Slowly rotate the crawler treads on the first crawler in
either direction with the crawler control to the center
treads on crawler frame.
2. Rotate the rear jacks to the horizontal “wing” position
(Figure 4-19
, View C). Do not rotate the jacks to the
stored position.
3. Swing the rear of the rotating bed so that it is positioned
over the first crawler (Figure 4-20
).
4. Rotate the rear jacks to the operating position and
extend the jacks until the carbody is clear of the
pedestals next to the first crawler.
5. Remove and store the carbody pedestals (set nearest
first crawler).
6. Lower the crawler to the ground.
7. Rotate the rear jacks to the horizontal “wing” position
(Figure 4-19
, View C). Do not rotate jacks to the stored
position.
8. Repeat step 2
through step 6 in Figure First Crawler
Installation on page 4-30.
9. Swing 180° and repeat step 2
through step 15 in
Figure
First Crawler Installation on page 4-30.
10. Slowly rotate the crawler treads in either direction with
the crawler control to the center treads on the crawler
