Material handling cranes have overload shutdown and/or tilt
warning (unstable) systems. Always apply PARKING BRAKE
control (WP 0045) prior to crane operation.
•
When cranes are overloaded, the overload system will
automatically shut off power to telescope boom out, raise boom, or
hoist load higher. The overload system will also prevent lowering
the boom. An overload condition can be corrected by lowering load
to ground or other supporting surface. All crane functions will be
restored in approximately six seconds.

The crane operating instruction plates are located on the heater
compartment cover in the cab and at each of the fixed operating
station.
