SET-UP AND INSTALLATION 16000 HANGING MAX-ER® OPERATOR MANUAL
4-2
Published 04-17-17, Control # 067-11
See “Liftcrane Boom with Mast” capacity chart
to determine how much boom can be raised.
A hold-back force is required to raise and lower the fixed
mast. Either an assist crane or the crane’s own boom can be
used.
• If an assist crane is used, it must provide the forces
given in Figure 4-1
.
• If crane’s own boom is used, a minimum boom length of
137.8 ft (42 m) is required
MAX-ER WEIGHTS
See Section 1 for the weights of individual crane and MAX-
ER components.
SHIPPING CRANE COMPONENTS
To ensure the crane’s self-erecting system can load and
unload the carbody and upperworks assembly, the trailer
must meet the specifications given in Figure 4-2
.
It is the owner/user’s responsibility to ensure the following:
• All trailer loads comply with local, state, and federal
transportation requirements
• All crane components are properly blocked and
secured so they cannot shift or fall off trailers.
• To avoid damage to components:
Use nylon tie-downs to secure components as shown in
View A.
If chain tie-downs are used, install protective covering
(such as sections of rubber tire) between the chain and
component being secured as shown in View B.
When securing boom sections, wrap tie-downs over
chords — never over lacings. Keep tie-downs as close
to blocking as possible (View A) to prevent bending the
chords.
OPERATING CONTROLS
Become thoroughly familiar with the location and function of
all operating controls provided for the crane and attachment.
Read and understand the instructions in Section 3, as well as
Section 3 of the Crane Operator Manual.

procedures in this section, select hanging MAX-ER set-
up mode in the RCL (Rated Capacity Indicator/Limiter).
