RT530E-2 OPERATOR’S MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
NOTE: More than one outrigger beam may be retracted at
one time.
7. After all outriggers have been fully retracted, stow the
outrigger floats (Figure 3-10).
Stowing the Mid-Extend Lock Pin
NOTE: If the lock pin is wedged in the hole in the outrigger
beam, it may be necessary to jog the outrigger
extend/retract switch slightly while pulling upward
on the pin.
Swinging the Superstructure
To swing the boom, activate the Swing Enable Switch, push
the control lever on the left hand armrest to the right for right
swing (rotates turntable clockwise), or to the left for left swing
(rotates turntable counterclockwise). Always operate the
control lever with a slow, even pressure.
NOTE: The swing brake activates automatically, when the
control lever is returned to the stop or neutral
position, to prevent further rotation.
Elevating and Lowering the Boom
Elevating the Boom
1. To elevate the boom, activate the Lift Enable Switch,
push the controller on the right hand armrest to the left
(raises the boom), and hold until the boom reaches the
desired elevation.
Lowering the Boom
1. To lower the boom, activate the Lift Enable Switch, push
the controller on the right hand armrest to the right
(lowers the boom) and hold until the boom is lowered to
the desired position.
Telescoping the Boom
NOTE: The telescope function is controlled by a foot pedal
if the crane is equipped with an auxiliary hoist.
DANGER
Crushing Hazard!
Death or serious injury could result from being crushed by
moving machinery. Before activating swing, sound the
steering wheel horn and verify that all personnel are clear
of rotating and moving parts.
Keep the area beneath the boom clear of all obstructions
and personnel when lowering the boom.
The operator must select the proper load chart and RCL
program for the outrigger position selected.
CAUTION
Never push or pull the swing control lever through neutral
to the opposite direction to stop swing motion. The
automatic swing brake is activated by the control lever to
stop swing rotation.
DANGER
Crushing Hazard!
Keep the area above and below the boom clear of all
obstructions and personnel when elevating the boom.
DANGER
Crushing and/or Tipping Hazard!
Keep the area beneath the boom clear of all obstructions
and personnel when lowering the boom.
Long cantilever booms can create a tipping condition,
even when unloaded and in an extended, lowered
position.
WARNING
Machine Damage!
When lowering the boom, simultaneously let out the hoist
cable to prevent two-blocking the boom nose and hook
block.
CAUTION
The closer the load is carried to the boom nose, the more
important it becomes to simultaneously let out the hoist
cable as the boom is lowered.
