CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING
HYDRAULIC HOSES AND ELECTRIC
CABLES
Always STOP ENGINE before performing the following steps
during crane assembly and disassembly:
• Connecting and disconnecting hydraulic lines. It will be
easier to connect and disconnect the couplers when
there is no pressure in the system.
• Connecting and disconnecting electric cables. The
potential for operating faults or damage to the electric
components exists if the engine is not stopped.

arrival at the job site.
