* If Equipped
When traveling on jobsites with firm and level grades the
crane shall be configured as shown in Table 2. The
configurations provided have been calculated to evenly
distribute crane axle loads.
• Crane Operator must ensure proper tire inflation and
condition.
• Travel with the boom extension erected requires that the
hook block be removed from the boom nose.
• The headache ball may be suspended from the end of
the boom extension, but it is preferred that the headache
ball be removed or secured to prevent swinging.
• For all the conditions, it is mandatory that the user verify
that the slewing system is set for crane operation and
not for trailing boom or boom dolly operation.
• Slew park brakes must be engaged and the slew brake
hydraulic bypass valve must be closed.
• If the crane is equipped with an optional 360 swing lock it
is recommended that this be engaged.
• The travel surface should be firm with no holes or bumps
exceeding a 4-inch variation over 3 ft. of travel (100 mm
over 1 m).
• Maximum travel speed is restricted to 1.0 MPH (1.6 km/
h).
• Take care that turning maneuvers are performed using
the largest turning circle possible. Do not make any
sudden movements.
• Extend outrigger beams to Mid position, or farther if
space allows during travel.
• Maintain clearance between ground and outrigger floats
while traveling.
• Travel with 26.2 ft. (8 m) lattice insert erected is only
permitted with counterweight configurations 36,000 lbs.
and 48,500 lbs. (refer to last section of Table 2, (page 6).
