5540F/YB5515 OPERATOR’S MANUAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Work Area Definition System (WADS) (If
Equipped)
If your crane is equipped with a WADS, you must read and
understand the manufacturer’s Operator’s Manual before
operating the system. Become familiar with all proper
operating procedures and with the identification of symbol
usage.
The work area definition system is intended as an aid to the
operator. It is not a substitute for safe crane operating
practices, experience and good operator judgements.
CRANE STABILITY/STRUCTURAL
STRENGTH
To avoid death or serious injury, ensure that the crane is on a
firm surface with load and crane’s configuration within
capacity as shown on the crane’s Load Chart and notes.
Ensure all pins and floats are properly installed and outrigger
beams are properly extended before lifting on outriggers. On
models equipped with outriggers that can be pinned at the
mid-extend position (vertical strip, if applicable), the
outriggers must also be pinned when operating from the mid-
extend position.
Use adequate cribbing under outrigger floats to distribute
weight over a greater area. Check frequently for settling.
(For cranes with center front stabiliers)
