RT530E-2 OPERATOR’S MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
3. If extending the outrigger to the mid-extend or fully
extended position, use the Outrigger Function Enable
Switch and the CCS menu with either the CCS display
buttons or the jog dial to select the outrigger. The
appropriate outrigger beam will extend. Refer to
Engaging the Mid Extend Lock Pin, page 3-21 if the
crane is to be operated with any outrigger at the mid-
extend position.
NOTE: More than one outrigger beam can be extended at
a time. However, to ensure that each outrigger is
fully extended, repeat step 3 for each outrigger
after a multi-outrigger extension.
4. After deploying the four outrigger beams to one of the
three proper positions (fully retracted, mid-extend, fully
extended), navigate to the jack operation on the CCS
screen and select the jack extend function on the
Outrigger Function Enable Switch.
Extend each jack, using either the CCS display buttons
or the jog dial, positioning the float as necessary, until
the locking levers of the float engage the jack cylinder
barrel.
NOTE: More than one jack can be extended at a time.
5. Extend the front jacks approximately 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4
in).
6. Extend the rear jacks approximately 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4
in).
NOTE: If crane is equipped with tilting cab, ensure cab is in
the lowered position before leveling machine.
7. Repeat step 4 until all wheels are clear of the ground
and the crane is level as indicated by the level indicator
located on the right side of the cab.
NOTE: If it is suspected that the level indicator is out of
adjustment, verify and adjust the level using the
procedures under Level Indicator Adjustment,
page 3-20.
Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS) (Optional—
Standard in North America)
The Outrigger Monitoring System (OMS) aids the operator in
accurately programming the Rated Capacity Limiter (RCL)
by automatically identifying the horizontal position of each
outrigger beam. The OMS uses four sensors, one per
outrigger beam, to indicate when an outrigger beam is
positioned to one of three pre-defined locations, including
fully retracted, mid-extend, and fully extended.
Set up of the outriggers is the same for cranes equipped with
OMS; refer to Setting the Outriggers, page 20.
If the crane is setup on outriggers and “On Outriggers” is
chosen when programming the RCL, then the OMS indicates
to the RCL the horizontal position of each of the four
outrigger beams. When the outriggers are at the proper
position, the screen icon is transparent; if an outrigger is not
in the proper position it will be shown as red The RCL does
not lock out the crane or select a different chart based on
outrigger position.
Engaging the Mid Extend Lock Pin
NOTE: It may be necessary to jog the outrigger extension/
retraction switch slightly to ensure proper pin
engagement.
1. With the outriggers fully retracted, turn the locking pin
90° from its stowed position and allow the pin to slip into
the lug on the jack beam. If the pin will not slip into the
CAUTION
Possible Equipment Damage!
Always depress one of the outrigger/selector switches
before positioning the outrigger extension/retraction
switch to extend or retract. Failure to do this may cause a
hydraulic lock against the individual solenoid valves,
preventing them from opening.
DANGER
Electrocution Hazard!
To avoid death or serious injury, keep all parts of this
machine, the rigging, and materials being lifted at least 20
feet away from electrical power lines and equipment.
DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
All four outrigger beams must be deployed to one of three
positions before beginning operation, which include fully
retracted, mid-extend, or fully extended; do not operate
the crane with the outriggers in any other position.
DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
The mid-extend outrigger beam lock pin must be engaged
before operating on any beam from the mid-extend
position.
For cranes not equipped with an Outrigger Monitoring
System (OMS), the operator must select the proper
rigging code from the load chart and RCL program for the
outrigger position selected. The OMS will NOT change
the rigging code to match the existing outrigger position.
