ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY AREA
Select an assembly/disassembly area that has a firm, level,
uniformly supporting surface. Make sure the area is large
enough to accommodate the crane and the selected boom
length, the movement of trucks with trailers, and movement
of the assist crane.
Contact your Manitowoc dealer for ground bearing
information.
ACCESSING PARTS
Some parts of the crane, boom, and jib cannot be reached
from the ground. Take the necessary precautions to prevent
slipping and/or falling off the crane or boom during assembly
disassembly, maintenance, or other work.
