GENERAL
This manual has been compiled to assist you in properly
operating and maintaining your Model 1300A Series
National Crane (Figure 1-1).
Before placing the crane in to service, all operators and
persons working around the crane must thoroughly read and
understand the contents of the Operator Manual. Before
moving a vehicle equipped with a crane, information relating
to transporting the vehicle must be read and observed.
This manual must be retained with the machine for use by
subsequent operating personnel.
Information this manual does not replace federal, state or
local regulations, safety codes or insurance requirements.
For detailed information concerning the operation and
maintenance of the RCL system installed on the crane, see

their manuals as a load moment indicator (LMI) or a

throughout its Operator and Service Manuals.
The National Crane has been designed for maximum

years of trouble-free service can be expected.
