Assembling counterweight versions/
combinations
Procedures
All recommended counterweight combinations for this
machine are identified in the Counterweight Combinations
Table on page 5-1. Refer to this table and Figure 1 to select
the required combinations of counterweight plates.
1. Use the 3000 lb tray counterweight plate for all
counterweight combinations as noted in the Standard

CAUTION
Locking Pin Damage!
After assembling the 3000 lb and 5000 lb counterweight
sections together, always place the locking pins in the
Locked position before rigging the counterweights onto
the crane. This prevents the locking pins from protruding
or coming free and protruding over the superstructure
during crane work.
DANGER
Crushing Hazard!
Ensure that no one is permitted in the swing radius of the
crane while they are lifting a counterweight section from
the separate vehicle onto the carrier.
Anyone who climbs onto the carrier is in the rotating range
of the superstructure.
DANGER
Tip-over Hazard!
With a free on wheels truck crane, the superstructure may
not be turned.
With an outrigger spread of 7.6 ft, the superstructure may
only be turned when a maximum of 8,000 lb
counterweight is rigged. This prevents the truck crane
from overturning when turning.

Falling Parts Hazard!
Lifting of the stacked counterweight sections is only
possible under certain conditions. Not all counterweight
sections are designed for lifting stacked sections.
WARNING
Risk of accident and damage to machine!
Only assemble the left and right wing counterweights as
prescribed in this chapter and as shown in Figure 6-19.
The left and right wing counterweights must only be
rigged to the 3000 lb or 5000 lb counterweight section that
is on top of the counterweight assembly.
WARNING
Risk of accident and damage to machine!
Only rig the wing counterweights to the top 3000 lb or
5000 lb counterweight section while the counterweight
assembly (1, 2, 3, and 4, Figure 6-19) is setting on the
counterweight platform. NEVER rig any of the wing
counterweights while the 3000 lb and/or the 5000 lb
counterweights are secured to the turntable with the bolt
pins (Figure 6-19).
WARNING
Risk of accident and damage to machine!
Before rigging the left and right wing counterweights,
ensure the two bolt pins (Figure 6-19) are stowed in a
location away from the superstructure. NEVER secure the
3000 lb or 5000 lb counterweight sections to the turntable
while any of the left and right wing counterweights are
rigged to the crane.
