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 until it aligns with the center of the boom rest.
• Lower the boom gently into the boom rest.
• Store the radio remote control in the docking station.
Note: Use alignment arrows located
on the crane base to properly align
the boom with the boom rest.
• The parking brake must be released before moving the truck.
•
Make certain that any air tanks are completely drained before moving the
truck.
• Disengage the hydraulic power source. If using a PTO, consult the PTO manual for specific
instructions if needed.
• Turn off all switches on the control panel.
• Return the radio remote to the docking/charge station.
Step 8: Release the parking brake.
Step 7: Disengage the hydraulic power source.
Step 6: Stow the stabilizers. (Only after stowing the crane.)
Step 5: Stow the crane.
Stow vertical leg(s).
Hydraulic applications - 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.
Manual applications - Ensure the leg is returned to the stowed position by using crank/
pin retainers.
Stow horizontal extension(s).
Hydraulic applications - Pull up on the extension lever to fully retract and store the CS/
SS as applicable.
Manual applications - Ensure the extension is returned to the stowed position by using
spring pin latch. Verify the latch is fully engaged and locked in position.
