Step 8: Disengage the PTO and deactivate power.
• Depress the clutch on manual transmission vehicles.
• Disengage the PTO. Consult the PTO manual for specic instructions if needed.
• Slowly release the clutch on a manual transmission vehicle. Note: Make sure the PTO
indicator light turns off.
• Turn off all switches on the VEC control panel. Note: For non-VEC control panels, consult
the manufacturers’ documentation of operation.
Step 7: Stow the stabilizers.
After stowing the crane:
• Return to the stabilizer controls and pull up on the CS and SS levers and fully retract the
stabilizers. Note: Both levers can be used at the same time.
• Pull up on the extension lever to fully retract and store the curb-side stabilizer.
Step 6: Stow the crane.
Once you have performed your lift and are ready to shut down the work site:
• Retract all extensions.
• Winch up to bring the snatch block within 3 feet of the boom tip.
• Lower the crane boom down far enough so that the snatch block is within comfortable
reach.
• Hook the snatch block to the stow hook on the main boom. Maintain control to avoid
personal injury or damage to any equipment.
Never use the stow hook for anything other than stowing the snatch
block.
• Tighten the winch line so that the snatch block comes within a few inches of the main
boom. Avoid activating the anti-two block switch when tightening slack.
• Raise the boom slightly above the boom rest.
• Rotate the boom counter-clockwise until it aligns with the
boom rest.
• Lower the boom gently into the boom rest.
• Store the radio remote control, preferably in the cab of the
truck.
WARNING
Note: Use alignment arrows located
on the crane base to properly align
the boom with the boom rest.
