Inclining the Crane
In order to set the offset angle of the adjustable extension,
you must set it down on the ground by extending and
lowering the main boom over the rear.
Depending on the space available, the condition of the
terrain or a limitation on the telescoping due to the current
rigging mode, it may be that the head of the extension cannot
be set on the ground by telescoping and lowering the main
boom.
In this case, you can use the outriggers to incline the crane.
1. Fully extend the front outriggers and jack cylinders.
2. Fully extend the rear outriggers.
3. Extend the rear jack cylinders until the rear wheels are
just off the ground.
Stowing the Folding Boom Extension
Requirements for Stowing the Boom Extensions
Before lowering a boom extension into a horizontal position,
the following requirements must be met:
• No other load is raised apart from the hookblock.
• The counterweight required, according to the Load
Chart for the planned operation with the configured
extension, is rigged.
• The crane is supported with the outriggers prescribed for
operation with the extension according to the Load
Chart.
• The main boom is fully retracted.
• Retract the main boom completely, and lower boom to
the horizontal position.
• Remove the anti-two block switch weight and anti-two
block switch, refer to Connecting the Anti-Two Block
Switch, page 6-58.
• Unreeve the cable and remove it from the extension.
Refer to Positioning/Removing the Hoist Cable, page 6-
62.
• Fold in the deflection sheaves at the front and rear.
Refer to Folding Deflection Sheaves, page 6-61.
Stowing Procedure: 23 ft (7 m) Boom Fly Extension
The 23 ft fly extension can be folded to the side of the 36 ft
base extension.
1. Attach tag line to the nose of the 23 ft (7 m) fly extension.
Have a helper hold the tag line to prevent the fly from
moving.
2. Remove the retaining clip from the pin (1) and remove
the pin from the connecting lug (Figure 6-125).
WARNING
Tipping Hazard!
Make sure that the wheels do not touch the ground when
the crane has been inclined. This prevents a reduction in
the stability of the crane, which could lead to it tipping over
when setting the angle of the lattice extension or
overloading the axles, causing serious injury or death.
DANGER
Crushing Hazard!
To prevent serious injury or death, do not stand on
decking until extensions are secure.
DANGER
Tipping Hazard!
Do not override the RCL when lowering the boom into a
horizontal position.
If the RCL is overridden, lockouts will be bypassed and
the crane may overturn if outside of the permissible
working range.
WARNING
Crushing Hazard!
To prevent injury or death, ensure there are no people or
objects in the swing area of the extension.
