Warning

Do not travel at a speed exceeding 1 mph (1.6 km/h).

Do not lift the load high. Keep it near the ground. For safety do not fail to hold it with an auxiliary rope.

Do not shift into “D” or “2” position, but keep the gearshift lever positioned at “1”. Avoid abrupt motion: start, stop and steering. Otherwise the lifted load is given oscillation.

Do not operate the crane while traveling.

Before traveling, extend the outrigger beams and extend the jacks until the outrigger floats are slightly clear of the ground.

[NOTICE]

◆ Do not travel with the PTO switch set OFF and with a load on.

1. Register “On rubber creep operation” on the load moment indicator.

3. Perform steps 1 and 2 of the “Stationary”

5. Set the parking brake switch to OFF and start to travel slowly.

Removing and Stowing the Main Hook Block

When the anti-twoblock function is deactivated, a hoisting operation is not stopped even if the hook block is overhoisted. Two-blocking damages the wire rope and crane and can result in serious personal injury or death due to a falling hook block. Always be careful not to two-block when the anti-twoblock function is deactivated.

[NOTICE]

◆ Operating the winch with no tension on the wire rope causes the rope to wind improperly. Perform the hoist-down operation by always maintaining the tension provided by the weight of the hook block.

◆ When the main hook block is being taken out or stowed, the anti-twoblock device may be activated, making any further operation impossible. You can avoid this condition by pressing the anti-twoblock disable switch to deactivate the anti-twoblock function. While the switch is held down, the anti-twoblock function will be deactivated.

Removing the Main Hook Block

1. Extend the outriggers and set the crane in a level position.

2. Hoist down with the main winch to slacken the main winch wire rope, and, at the same time, raise the boom to a position where the hook holding rope can be released.

◆ Raise the boom, taking care not to apply too much tension to the wire rope and being sure that the wire rope winds properly around the drum.

3. Detach the hook holding rope from the main hook block.
