RT600E OPERATOR MANUAL OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Published 05-02-2018 Control # 088-10
NOTE: For cranes equipped with an Outrigger Monitoring
System, outrigger positions are automatically
monitored through the RCL. Refer to Outrigger
Monitoring System (OMS) (Optional—Standard in
North America), page 3-31.
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 position of each outrigger
beam. The OMS uses four sensors, one per outrigger beam,
to identify 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” on page 30. The RCL
only indicates the position of the outrigger beam and should
not be used to deploy the beam.
If the crane is setup on outriggers and “On Outriggers” is
chosen when programming the RCL, then the OMS indicates
to the RCL the position of each of the four outrigger beams.
Based on this information, the RCL will choose the most
conservative outrigger beam configuration (i.e. If three
outriggers are fully extended and one is retracted, the RCL
will select retracted as the outrigger configuration). A
confirmation of this outrigger configuration is all that is
needed. Refer to the Rated Capacity Limiter Operator’s
Handbook for detailed instructions.
Engaging The Mid-Extend Lock Pin
1. Turn the locking pin 90° from its stowed position and
allow the pin to rest on top of the outrigger beam.
NOTE: It may be necessary to use the appropriate
outrigger extension switch and jog the
OUTRIGGERS EXTEND/RETRACT switch slightly
to ensure proper pin engagement.
2. Slowly extend or retract the outrigger beam, allowing the
locking pin to drop into the hole in the top of the outrigger
beam, engaging the outrigger beam at the desired
length.
Stowing The Outriggers
1. Select the rear jacks with the appropriate rocker
switches and hold the OUTRIGGERS EXTEND/
RETRACT switch to RETRACT until the rear jacks have
retracted several inches.
2. Select the front jacks with the appropriate rocker
switches and hold the OUTRIGGERS EXTEND/
RETRACT switch to RETRACT until the front jacks have
retracted several inches.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the crane is resting on all four
wheels and the jack floats are several inches off the
ground.
4. Release the locking levers and allow the floats to drop to
the ground.
5. Continue to retract the jacks until they are fully retracted.
6. Press the appropriate rocker switch on the outrigger
selector panel for retracting the desired outrigger and
hold the OUTRIGGERS EXTEND/RETRACT rocker
switch to RETRACT. The chosen outrigger beam should
begin to retract.
NOTE: More than one outrigger may be retracted at one
time.
7. After all outriggers have been fully retracted, stow the
outrigger floats. Pin them to their front and rear stowing
points with quick pins.
Stowing The Mid-Extend Lock Pin
1. Retract the outrigger extension cylinder.
NOTE: If the lock pin is wedged in the hole in the outrigger
beam, it may be necessary to jog the
OUTRIGGERS EXTEND/RETRACT switch slightly
while pulling upward on the pin.
2. Lift the lock pin and turn it 90° to its stowed position.
Swinging The Boom (Single Axis Controller Option)
DANGER
Keep feet and hands clear of floats when unlocking the
floats from the jacks.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
Keep the areas in the swing path of the hook, load and tail
clear of all obstructions and personnel.
