Operation
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.
After stowing the crane, return to the stabilizer crank and fully retract the stabilizer(s).
The parking brake must be released before moving the truck.
Make certain that any air tanks are completely drained before moving
the truck.
• Do not use the boom or the winch to drag a load.
• Do not use the crane boom to push downward onto anything.
• Avoid sudden starts and stops when moving a load.
• Do not drag loads with the crane.
Step 7: Release the parking brake.
Step 6: Stow the stabilizers.
Step 5: Stow the crane.
