ROTATE AND TELESCOPE BOOM
WARNING
When using crane on any vehicle, park vehicle clear of all overhead
electrical lines. Keep boom clear of all electrical lines and other
obstacles while operating crane. Failure to comply may result in injury
or death to personnel.
Ensure area is clear of personnel prior to moving SWING control
lever. Boom should be swung slowly enough so crane operator has
complete control. If operator cannot see load during operation,
operate crane from REMOTE CONTROL UNIT. Failure to comply
may result in injury or death to personnel.
Operator must keep control of load at all times. If necessary, attach
cargo tie downs to load for control. Failure to comply may result in
injury or death to personnel.
If electrical power fails during crane operation, move switch on
REMOTE CONTROL UNIT to SHUTDOWN position. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
CAUTION
Boom must be above vehicle sides for clearance. Hitting side of vehicle
with boom may cause damage to boom or vehicle. Material handling
crane/boom will strike outrigger framework and tow A-frame during crane
operations if the boom is depressed below horizontal.
NOTE
Operate control levers with light, even pressure. Moving lever slightly will
cause slow movement of crane. Moving lever to full travel will cause faster
movement of crane.
