CRANE TO TRUCK INSTALLATION
The installation section contains information for mounting
and initial check out of the crane. Proper mounting is
required for long lasting crane performance. Improper
mounting can cause permanent damage to the truck, i.e.
frame or transmission, and the crane, i.e. pump or
nonstability. Also Federal Department of Transportation
Laws relating to vehicle manufacture and modification such
as lights, brakes and axle loads must be met as well as State
