01 - 4 RT60 Rough Terrain Crane
1.6 SET-UP
1. Crane load ratings are based on the crane being leveled and standing on a firm and
uniform supporting surface.
2. Crane load ratings on outriggers are
based on all outrigger beams being fully
extended / retracted, or in the case of
partial extension ratings mechanically
pinned in the appropriate position, and
the tires raised free of the supporting
surface.
3. Crane load ratings on tires depend on appropriate inflation pressure and the tire
conditions. Caution must be exercised when increasing air pressures in tires. Consult
Operator’s Manual or Maintenance and Service Manual for precautions.
4. Consult appropriate section of the Operator’s Manual for more exact description of
hoist line reeving.
5. The use of more parts of line than required by the load may result in having insufficient
rope to allow the hook block to reach the ground.
6. Properly maintained wire rope is essential for safe crane operation. Consult
Maintenance and Service Manual for proper maintenance and inspection
requirements.
7. When spin-resistant wire rope is used, the allowable rope loading shall be the
breaking strength divided by five (5), unless otherwise specified by the wire rope
manufacturer.
