TMS800E OPERATOR’S MANUALOPERATING CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Crane Shutdown Procedures

The following procedures will extend serviceable life of various crane components, reduce vandalism, and accidents during crane shutdown periods or anytime the crane is left unattended.

1. Perform the procedures found under Shutdown Procedure in this handbook.

Danger

Never park crane near holes, on rocky surfaces, or on soft spots. This may cause crane to overturn, resulting in injury or death to personnel.

2. Park the crane on a proper surface with the outrigger stabilizers and beams fully retracted. Do not park in a location where it may become frozen to the ground or settle unevenly and overturn.

3. Apply parking brakes and if necessary, chock the wheels.

4. Position all controls to neutral or off.

5. Shut down the engine using the proper procedures as specified by this manual and the engine manual.

6. Perform any other specified procedures required at the end of the workday, i.e., drain water from the fuel filterwater separator, refueling, etc.

7. Close all windows.

8. Remove the keys from the crane.

9. Lock the crane. Install vandal guards, if used.

Danger

Step 10 does not take the place of the prestarting checks which must be performed just prior to using the crane at the next working day.

10. Make a thorough walk around inspection to ensure that all cylinders that can be retracted are retracted. The only exceptions are those cylinders which cannot be fully retracted, i.e., steer cylinders. Also, look for anything that could hinder or prevent starting the next day’s work
