Heavy-Duty Telescopic Crane Owner’s Manual
Operators should have a firm understanding of ANSI B30.5 - Section 5-3.2 Operating Practices and
AEM Safety Manual (Form C-70-2) prior to operating of the crane.
Prevent booms from contacting hard or sharp objects which could damage
the boom and lessen structural integrity of the boom.
Using the Radio Remote:
To operate the crane using the radio remote control:
1. Release the RED Stop button by twisting clockwise.
2. To turn on the transmitter, push any toggle. When the
screen shows the load percentage, the transmitter is
live and ready for use.
3. Link the remote to the crane receiver by pressing the
Boost button.
4. Activate and hold the desired toggle switch while
gently pulling the variable speed trigger until the
crane begins to move. The speed of the crane will
vary in direct correlation to how much or how little
the trigger is engaged.
5. Once operation is complete, release the toggle and
the trigger.
The radio remote allows for simultaneous functions. With practice, it is possible to use more than one
toggle at the same time (Extension Out/Winch Down for example). See the Radio Remote Control
Functions and Features pages later in this chapter for more information.
Unstowing the Crane and preparing it for a lift:
• Winch down slightly.
• Raise the boom high enough to clear the boom rest and any other obstructions from the chassis.
• Rotate the crane until it clears the side of the truck body.
• Lower the crane boom down far enough so that the snatch block is within comfortable reach.
• Winch down to create slack in the wire rope and unhook the snatch block.
Attaching the load:
• Position the crane with the hook centered directly over the load avoid side loading.
• Attach the load to the hook by means of slings or other approved devices.
•
Never use a sling bar or anything larger than the hook throat that could
prevent the hook latch from closing. This would negate the safety feature.
• Maintain a minimum of 3 full wraps of wire rope on the winch drum at all times.
•
Do not wrap the wire rope around the load.
Lifting the load:
Lift the load slightly off the ground to check the safety of the cargo. Consider the following:
• Make certain that the stabilizers are positioned on flat, stable ground.
Step 4: Operate the crane.
