OPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES RT9130E-2 OPERATOR MANUAL
3-38 Published 3-1-2018, Control # 559-03
• Do not exceed a speed of 4 km/h (2.5 mph).
• Ensure main counterweight is installed.
• Position the boom over the front of the crane.
• Engage the swing brake and turntable lock pin.
• Remove hookblock from main boom nose.
• Headache ball may be reeved over jib, hanging 0.9 m
(3 ft) below sheave.
Extended Travel
Depending upon the tire manufacturer, the higher inflation
pressures normally specified for lifting on rubber are not
recommended for site to site transfer over extended
distances. The higher static/creep 8 km/h (5 mph) inflation
pressures may remain in the tire while operating the crane
on site within a distance of less than 6.4 km (4 mi).
Traveling — Forward
1. With the Transmission Shift Lever in the neutral (N)
position, start the engine and allow it to adequately
warm up.
2. Depress the Service Brake Foot Pedal.
CAUTION
Tire Damage Hazard!
For extended travel, check the cold tire pressure prior to
start. (Refer to tire inflation chart in the Load Chart Book.)
After every one hour of travel time, regardless of ambient
temperature, stop and allow the tires to cool off for at least
30 minutes. At the destination, the tires must be allowed
to cool to ambient temperature before crane lifting on
rubber.
CAUTION
Machine Damage Hazard!
Engage the turntable lock pin for extended travel. Failure
to engage the lock pin may allow the superstructure to
swing uncontrolled, damaging the machine and/or
property.
WARNING
Run-away Crane Hazard!
Releasing the parking brake while the low service brake
pressure indicator is illuminated and the buzzer is
sounding, indicating the service brakes are inoperable,
may result in the crane rolling away freely without the
ability of the operator to stop the crane.
Never release the parking brake while the low service
brake pressure indicator is illuminated and the buzzer is
sounding.
CAUTION
Avoid Crane Damage!
Do not engage the parking brake while the vehicle is
moving. Damage to the crane can occur.
Disengage the parking brake before driving. Damage to
the crane can occur.
CAUTION
Use four-wheel drive only when more traction is required.
Before shifting from two-wheel drive to four-wheel drive
(or from four back to two), crane travel must be stopped,
the transmission must be in neutral and the service
brakes applied. Refer to Four-Wheel Drive Operation,
