Operation
Once you have performed your lift and are ready to shut down the work site:
1. Retract all extensions.
2. Winch up to bring the snatch block within 3 feet of the boom tip.
3. Lower the crane boom down far enough so that the snatch block is within comfortable
reach.
4. Hook the snatch block to the stow ring on the main boom. Maintain control to avoid
personal injury or damage to any equipment.
5. Tighten the winch line so that the snatch block comes within a few inches of the main
boom. Note: When tightening slack, avoid activating the
anti-two block switch.
6. Raise the boom slightly above the boom rest.
7. Rotate the boom counter-clockwise until it aligns with the
boom rest. Note: Use alignment arrows located on the
crane base to properly align the boom with the boom rest.
8. Lower the boom gently into the boom rest.
9. Store the radio remote control, preferably in the cab of the
truck.
After stowing the crane:
1. 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.
2. Pull up on the extension lever to fully retract and store the
curb-side stabilizer.
1. Depress the clutch on manual transmission vehicles.
2. Disengage the PTO. Consult the PTO manual for specific instructions if needed.
3. Slowly release the clutch on a manual transmission vehicle. Note: Make sure the PTO
indicator light turns off.
4. Turn off all switches on the VEC control panel. Note: For non-VEC control panels, consult
the manufacturers’ documentation of operation.
The parking brake must be released before moving the truck.
WARNING
Before moving the truck, make certain
that the air tank is completely drained,
even if the compressor was not in use.
Step 9: Release the parking brake.
Step 8: Disengage the PTO and deactivate power.
Step 7: Stow the stabilizers.
Step 6: Stow the crane.
