OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES RT765E-2 OPERATOR MANUAL
3-38 Published 4-09-2021, Control # 364-11
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 3-38.
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 3-37.
If the crane is setup on outriggers and “On Outriggers” is
chosen when programming the RCL (Figure 3-18), then the
OMS indicates to the RCL the horizontal position of each of
the four outrigger beams. Based on this information, the RCL
will default to the most conservative outrigger beam
configuration; that is, 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 (Figure 3-19). Refer to the
Rated Capacity Limiter Operator Handbook for detailed
instructions.
NOTE: Figure 3-19 depicts all four outrigger beams in the
mid-extend position as indicated by the OMS and
RCL.
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 jog the outrigger extension/
retraction 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 jack cylinders with the Stabilizer Selector
switches and hold the Extension/Retraction switch to
RETRACT until the rear jack cylinders have retracted
several inches.
2. Select the front jack cylinder with the Stabilizer Selector
switches and hold the Extension/Retraction switch to
RETRACT until the front jack cylinders have retracted
several inches.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the crane is resting on all four
wheels and the jack cylinder floats are several inches off
the ground
NOTE: Each jack cylinder float weighs approximately 70 lb
(32 kg).
4. Release the locking levers and allow the floats to drop to
the ground.
CAUTION
Crushing Hazard!
Keep feet and hands clear of floats when unlocking the
floats from the jack cylinders.
