When you move the crane between locations, only one person is approved to be
in the cab.
D. CRANE MOVEMENT IN OFF-ROAD CONDITIONS
When the rear axle is in the mud (no traction) or on rough terrain, follow these steps:
Put the transmission in the ”F1” position. This applies more torque to the drive
system.
Put the vehicle in the "4-wheel drive" mode.
Tow the vehicle or put rigid materials, e.g. pieces of wood or iron plates, below
the wheels.
E. PARK THE VEHICLE
Make sure that the hazard indicator illuminates when the vehicle is parked on the
road at night.

is a lot of clearance in front and to the aft of the vehicle.
Put the park brake switch to the "P" position and put the chocks against the
wheels.
Put the transmission in the "neutral" position.

Stop the engine, when the coolant temperature is in the correct range.
Put the battery master switch to the OFF position.
F. EMERGENCY STOP ON THE ROADWAY
If the crane malfunctions on the roadway, do the items that follow:
Set the hazard lights to ON and put the safety triangles in position.
Set the park brake if you stop because of a drive train (drive shaft, axle) failure or
you make an emergency stop on a slope. Put the chocks on the wheels.
